Welcome to those here today serving as witness to the joining of [Partner A] and [Partner B] in marriage. To be present during this exchange of vows signifies your importance to them. Thank you for supporting them on this most important occasion. Today we gather in celebration of love in its truest sense. Love is not defined as a commodity afforded only to a select few. Love is a universal and immeasurable gift given between and enjoyed by two people who have deepened their relationship far beyond that of casual friendship.

Love is special, and deserves to be celebrated. To make the ultimate commitment of matrimony is the highest public affirmation of love in our society. To quote the Supreme Court of The United States, "No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.

Today, [Partner A] and [Partner B] will promise to become that something greater, together, and will be joined with equal dignity in the eyes of the law. This is the moment when your hearts and souls are joined as one, to face together all you encounter from this day forward. As this part of your journey begins, I would ask that you both remind yourselves often of the love that brought you here today. In reality, a ring is no more than a circle of metal on its own.

But similar to the joining of two people in matrimony, with the addition of vows, a ring extends far beyond the sum of its part and represents an endless promise, never to be broken. These rings are to be an outward symbol of the love and commitment between you both, and a daily reminder of your vows. With this ring, I thee wed. We ask for blessings on this union, that the universe contributes to your strength, trust, and brings joy beyond your wildest imaginations.
