This is a very fun script personalized by the bride and groom's friends for their wedding!
Welcome! We are gathered here today in this beautiful place to celebrate and to witness the joining of Name and Name in marriage. Thank you for sharing in the joy of this special occasion.

The new chapter that begins today for Name and Name has been built on trust, love and a lot of laughs along the way. After being set up by friends, the two of them  first met over a few beverages at 20 Tap in Broad Ripple. Groom had a practical approach to first dates, knowing a full dinner can be a time commitment if things aren’t going well, and Bride appreciated that approach, having been on one too many weird first dates. Luckily the two found themselves talking for hours and really hitting it off. Those beverages and conversations lead to two goodnight hugs and a goodnight kiss. 

Since that date, the two can be found enjoying the outdoors, going on bike rides, walking their beloved dogs, tackling projects, and picking out a spot for date night. As long as they are by each other’s side, the day ahead has endless possibilities. 

When asked why they want to get married, they both share the same excitement and eagerness to join lives together and make every day an adventure. Groom shares that after a day of Bride making him pork nachos and asking “when sports come back” because she was kinda missing them, he knew he had found his partner for life. And here we are today to celebrate their marriage!

Marriage symbolizes the intimate sharing of two lives. This sharing must not diminish, but enhance the individuality of each partner. You do not shed your individuality, for that is what brought you together in the first place. Marriage is the loving declaration that you should be no other than yourself. 

A lasting marriage is not stagnant. The relationship and each individual are continually growing and developing. Your understanding of each other deepens and evolves. 

It is not this ceremony or the state of being married that will truly join and hold you together, but your ongoing commitment to your relationship and to the kind of life you wish to make together. In this way, your marriage will not be just a symbol. It will be an action, something you work on every day.

When two people are happily married, they enjoy each other’s company with delight and excitement (at least MOST of the time). Couples with strong and abiding relationships don’t have to pretend to be anything other than who they are. They are able to express themselves without fear of being judged or rejected. There is room in the relationship for both of them to be unique individuals. They are free to surrender to the vulnerability of true intimacy—to be known and loved unconditionally.

May you be fulfilled by each other’s love and friendship. May you be overjoyed by the promises you are about to make and the life together you will create as a team. Remember that in every marriage, there are good times and bad, times of joy and times of sorrow. Marriage is a journey – a time of adventure and excitement enhanced by the love, trust, dedication and faith you share in one another.

VOWS 

Groom, from this day on, do you choose Bride to be your wife, your best friend and your only love? To live together, play together and laugh together; To always seek out the best in her; Loving her with all your heart, for better or worse?

If so, say, “I do!”

Bride, from this day on, do you choose Groom to be your husband, your best friend and your only love? To live together, play together and laugh together; To always seek out the best in him; Loving him with all your heart, for better or worse?
If so, say, “I do!”


RING EXCHANGE

Please repeat after me as you exchange these rings: 

“Name, take this ring as my gift to you. 
Wear it and think of me, and know that I love you.”

“Name, take this ring as my gift to you. 
Wear it and think of me, and know that I love you.”

By the power invested in me by the State of Indiana, it’s my pleasure to pronounce you  husband and wife, sealed together today in law and in love. 

Sam, you may kiss your bride!

Ladies & gentlemen, for the first time, Name and Name! As they join hands for the first time as husband and wife, let’s celebrate by throwing some birdseed at them!
I am open to marrying any couple. It is my goal to meet each couple where they are and help them to have a positive wedding experience.  In order to meet you where you are, I approach every wedding with an open mind - I don’t know anything about you until you tell me and that’s only if you choose to tell me.  Wedding ceremony scripts have been written for years for brides and grooms. Now, bride and bride or groom and groom are very common. Some couples are choosing to forego traditional gender roles altogether and are  using the terms spouse or partner. If you have made the choice to use non-traditional pronouns, please let me know and I am happy to honor your preferences.   Any wedding ceremony script can be changed to reflect your personal preferences.
