Romantic Elopement 3
A couple gave me this ceremony a little over a year ago. It's based on The Chaos of The Stars” by Kiersten White. It has a magical, earthy feel. It's definitely a moment! This is a ceremony I think you should both agree on. Sometimes the words of a ceremony invoke feelings and it's wonderful! But make sure your partner has the same feeling or your elopement ceremony may feel a little awkward. I think couples who choose this ceremony absolutely know their destinies are aligned and believe in fate and destiny!
I didn't fall in love with you,
I walked into love with you
with my eyes wide open.
Choosing to take every step along the way
I do believe in fate and destiny
but I also believe we are only fated to do the things
we'd choose anyway.
And I'd choose you: in a hundred lifetimes,
in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality.
I'd find you and I'd choose you.
By destiny, we are aligned,
Our love eternal and true
We will face challenges together
and find strength in our union by
the sun, moon, and stars,
our love is blessed
may we always be as happy
as we are today.

Meaning of the Rings
The roundness of the wedding ring is said to represent eternity and to symbolize unending love, and devotion and that the couple is forever united in the marriage bond, in this physical life and the next.
Ring Exchange
(You don't have to repeat after me, I can just say this as you exchange rings)
I take you to be my love
In sunshine and darkness
In lean times and plenty
In sickness and health
Under the starry night sky
In this life and the next
I promise to love you
forever, always and a day.
Pronouncement
With the sense of incomparable joy that you have found emotional sanctuary for your heart, that you have discovered your life’s true love, I now pronounce you married!
You may seal this marriage with a kiss!
You may kiss your Bride/Groom/Spouse!
You don't have to kiss at all!
