“Dearly Beloved; We are gathered her, in the presence of God and of this company, that Ray and Jeanie may be united in holy matrimony. We are here to celebrate and share in glorious act that God is about to perform – the act by which He converts their love for one another into the holy and sacred estate of marriage.
This relationship is an honorable and sacred one, established by our Creator for the welfare and happiness of mankind, and approved by the Apostle Paul as honorable among all men. It is designed to unite two sympathies and hopes into one; and it rests upon the mutual confidence and devotion of husband and wife.
May it be in extreme thoughtfulness and reverence, and in dependence upon divine guidance, that you enter now into this holy relationship.” |

Family and friends, we have gathered here to share with Bride and Groom, a very important moment in their lives. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have chosen to live their lives together as husband and wife. On this holy occasion, in the presence of God and of all who are witnesses today, Bride and Groom will dedicate their lives to each other. |
Welcome today as we gather to celebrate a day of gladness, joy and one of life’s greatest miracles. The power of love that exists between two people, who love each other so much that, they are willing to commit their lives together as one in spirit. Love is a miraculous gift that has been given to us, and a wedding is a celebration of that gift. So we are gathered here to share and to rejoice with Bride and Groom, and to vow our unconditional love and support to them as they begin a new and magical journey together as husband and wife. |

A heartfelt welcome to all on this joyous day as we witness the sacred matrimony of Bride & Groom. I am the Reverend Colleen McLain and it brings me great pleasure to join these two together. Let's pray that eternal benevolence will shine graciously and unconditionally upon David and Eve, their families and friends gathered with us today, and those family members and friends who today join us in the loving spirit within our hearts. |
