:Intro:
Dearly Beloved,
We are blessed this day in this place under this sky to celebrate love and the commitment that these before us have,
and wish to declare to the world.
Together we witness a milestone in their life and love, the ripples of which will be felt through-out their future.
For marriage is a change. So, as they grow together as a couple, they will be the same but different forever. For better and worse.
This is a moment to embrace, and remind us of the power of love...
Love so strong that it makes us want to tell everyone and have them celebrate too.
Marriage is a leap—not just of love but of imagination. It’s choosing to wake up beside your favorite co-conspirator every day,
whether plotting wild adventures or debating what qualifies as breakfast.
It is equal parts poetry and mundanity with just a hint of whimsy tying them both together with love.
Do you (Partner 1), come here to take (Partner 2) as your wedded partner and core family?
Answer: I do/(I don’t…oops)
