Christian Ceremony Scripts

This is a very traditional, short, sweet, and to the point Christian wedding ceremony script. It includes The Lord's Prayer.  
Christian Wedding Ceremony Script 2
Dearly, beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company to join together these two people in holy Matrimony, which is an honorable estate instituted of God, signifying unto us the mystical union that is between Christ and his Church: which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul to be honorable among all men: and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God. Into this holy estate, these two persons present come now to be joined.
This is a shorter and simpler version of Formal Wedding Ceremony 9.  You can always change this to suit your needs as well!  
Christian Wedding Ceremony Script 3
Welcome to this celebration of love and the blessing of the new life being joined together by the marriage of Name and Name. They have come to dedicate themselves to God and to each other, and with His eternal help, to fashion their house into a home, their family into a unity of His Kingdom, and to achieve within their lives a hint of eternity. Name and Name have come to publicly proclaim their love and devotion through holy marriage.
This is a short and sweet ceremony that shares the meaning of the marriage commitment in more modern verbiage.  It can be used as-is or there is easily added to.
Christian Wedding Ceremony Script 5
Opening  Prayer

We are gathered here in the presence of God, family, and friends to unite Name and Name in holy matrimony. Marriage is an honorable estate and is, therefore, not to be entered into lightly but reverently, advisedly, soberly, and with God’s blessing. 

Today, Name and Name will receive God’s greatest gift; another person to share with, grow with, change with, be joyful with, and to stand with as one when trials and tribulations enter their lives. It is fitting, therefore, that we should, on this occasion, begin by asking for God’s blessing on this marriage.

Let us pray.
This is my go-to Christian Ceremony for small weddings and elopements.
Christian Elopement Ceremony Script 
Heavenly Father, we gather here together because you have promised that wherever three or more are gathered in your name, you will be in the midst of them.  We ask for your presence here as we join Name and Name in marriage. We ask your blessings over this ceremony as they make their vows to each other.  Stand by them throughout their marriage and fill them with your perfect love so that they may grow in their love for you and for each other.  In Jesus' name, we pray.  Amen.
​
This ceremony includes Psalm 1 and 1 Corinthians 13 1-13.
Christian Wedding Ceremony Script 7
Opening Words

We are gathered here in the presence of God, family and friends to join in holy matrimony, Name, and Name and to bear witness to the love they have for one another. Marriage is an honorable estate, and therefore it is not to be entered into lightly, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and with God’s blessing. Today they will receive God’s greatest gift; another person to share life’s blessings with, care for, learn with, trust in, change with and to discover the greatness of God’s glory.

Thank you to you all who have traveled from near and far to celebrate with Name and Name, and to shower them with love and blessings.
