Be specific about how COVID shaped your story — the first video call, the first time you finally met in person, the delayed wedding. Specificity is what makes this real.
This script works equally well for couples whose wedding was postponed and finally happened, or for those who got engaged during lockdown.
Acknowledge that your guests may have their own complicated feelings about that period — a light touch of shared humanity in the opening goes a long way.

Opening & welcome
Good [morning/afternoon/evening], everyone. My name is [OFFICIANT], and on behalf of [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2], welcome — and thank you for being here.
Look around you. Every single person in this room was chosen. You were invited because you have shaped who these two people are, and because they wanted you here to witness this moment. That means something.
Today, we gather to celebrate what happens when two people decide that the life they want to live is better lived together.
Love story
[PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] met [how they met]. What started as [how it started] grew into something neither of them fully expected — a partnership built on [their values], a friendship that became a love story.
I asked them both what they admire most about each other. [PARTNER1] said about [PARTNER2]: "[quality]." And [PARTNER2] said about [PARTNER1]: "[quality]."
That's who these two people are to each other. And that's who they're choosing to be, every day, from this moment forward.
Declaration of intent
[PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2], you have come here today of your own free will, in the presence of these witnesses, to join your lives together.
[PARTNER1], do you take [PARTNER2] to be your partner — to love and support, to challenge and encourage, to choose again and again, in all that life brings?
"I do."
[PARTNER2], do you take [PARTNER1] to be your partner — to love and support, to challenge and encourage, to choose again and again, in all that life brings?
"I do."
Exchange of vows
[PARTNER1], your vows:
"[PARTNER2], I choose you. Not because you're perfect, but because you're perfectly right for me. I promise to show up for you — on the easy days and the hard ones. To listen when you need to be heard, to give you space when you need room to breathe, and to make you laugh as often as I can. I choose you today, and I'll choose you every day. I love you."
[PARTNER2], your vows:
"[PARTNER1], from the moment I knew, I knew. I promise to be your home — a place of honesty, warmth, and laughter. I promise to grow with you, to support your dreams, and to build something beautiful with you. You are my greatest adventure. I love you."
Ring exchange
These rings are a symbol of the promises you've just made. A circle — no beginning, no end. A daily reminder of this moment.
[PARTNER1], place the ring on [PARTNER2]'s finger and repeat after me:
"With this ring, I thee wed."
[PARTNER2], place the ring on [PARTNER1]'s finger and repeat after me:
"With this ring, I thee wed."
Pronouncement
[PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] — you have made your vows. You have given and received rings. And in front of everyone who loves you most, you have chosen each other.
It is my absolute joy to pronounce you married.
You may kiss.
