12/12/2022 A Basic, Traditional Civil CeremonyCivil CeremonyI think this is a basic wedding ceremony with words most people expect to hear. It's perfect for some people. I think most ceremonies grew from this. Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here to join together Name and Name in Marriage; which is an honorable estate, and therefore, not entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, soberly and with joy. Into this estate, these two persons present come now to be joined. Vows Name, do you take Name to be your lawful wedded husband/wife/spouse, to live together in the Estate of Matrimony? Will you love her/him/them, comfort her/him/them, honor and keep her/him/them in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others keep you only unto her/him/them as long as you both shall live? I do Name, do you take Name to be your lawful wedded husband/wife/spouse, to live together in the Estate of Matrimony? Will you love her/him/them, comfort her/him/them, honor and keep her/him/them in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others keep you only unto her/him/them as long as you both shall live? I do Ring Exchange The marriage ring seals the vows of marriage and represents a promise for eternal and everlasting love. Name, as you place the ring on Name’s finger, please repeat after me: I Name, take you, Name, to be my wedded spouse/wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish forever. With this ring, I marry you. Name, as you place the ring on Name’s finger, please repeat after me: I Name, take you, Name, to be my wedded spouse/wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish forever. With this ring, I marry you. Those who have chosen to be joined together, let no one put asunder. Forasmuch as Name and Name have consented together in wedlock, and have witnessed the same before this company of witnesses, and there to have given their pledge, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands; by the power vested in me by the State of Indiana, I now pronounce you Married. You may seal this marriage with a kiss. ** Formal Wedding Ceremony Guide ** Formal Wedding Ceremony Scripts ** Elopement Ceremony Guide ** Elopement Ceremony Scripts ** Parts of a Wedding Ceremony ** Vow Writing Guide ** Unplugged Ceremony ** Opening Prayers ** Welcoming ** Moment of Silence ** Declaration of Support ** About Love and Marriage ** Non-Religious Readings ** Christian Readings ** Secular I-do's! ** Christian I-do-s! ** Ring Meaning ** Ring Blessings ** Secular Ring Exchanges ** Christian Ring Exchanges ** Unity Ceremonies ** Secular Blessings ** Christian Blessings ** The-pronouncement-Secular ** The Pronouncement - Christian **
Diversity Statement 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 will be happy to honor your preferences. Any wedding ceremony script can be changed to reflect those personal preferences. Comments are closed.
