A taste of the language and tone. Your personalized version will be written around your names, your story, and your ceremony style.
"Twenty-five years ago, [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] stood before people they loved and made promises they intended to keep."
"They kept them."
"Today, they stand before some of the same people — and some new ones — to say: we knew what we were doing. And we'd do it again."
"I vowed to love you twenty-five years ago. I know what that vow has cost and what it's given. I renew it today not because I have to — but because I've never been more certain that it was the best promise I ever made."

Opening & welcome
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of family and friends to witness and celebrate the union of [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] in the covenant of marriage.
Marriage is a most solemn and significant undertaking — it is the joining of two lives, two families, and two futures into one shared journey. It is not to be entered into lightly, but thoughtfully and with deep reverence.
Who gives this person to be married? *[Response from family.]*
Please be seated.
Love story
The story of [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] is one of patience, devotion, and the quiet recognition that one has found in the other a kindred spirit.
Since their first meeting, they have walked together through seasons of joy and seasons of challenge. They have discovered in one another qualities of character and strength of spirit that have deepened their admiration and their love.
Today, they stand before you to formalize what their hearts have long known to be true: that they are meant to face this life, side by side.
Declaration of intent
[PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2], before these witnesses and in the sight of those who love you, I ask you to declare your intentions.
[PARTNER1], will you have [PARTNER2] to be your wedded spouse, to live together in the estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and keep them, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to them so long as you both shall live?
"I will."
[PARTNER2], will you have [PARTNER1] to be your wedded spouse, to live together in the estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and keep them, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to them so long as you both shall live?
"I will."
Exchange of vows
[PARTNER1], please repeat after me:
"I, [PARTNER1], take you, [PARTNER2], to be my wedded spouse. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part. This is my solemn vow."
[PARTNER2], please repeat after me:
"I, [PARTNER2], take you, [PARTNER1], to be my wedded spouse. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part. This is my solemn vow."
Ring exchange
The ring is among the oldest symbols of eternal union — its unbroken circle representing love without end.
[PARTNER1], as you place this ring upon the finger of [PARTNER2], repeat after me:
"With this ring, I thee wed, and with all my worldly goods, I thee endow."
[PARTNER2], as you place this ring upon the finger of [PARTNER1], repeat after me:
"With this ring, I thee wed, and with all my worldly goods, I thee endow."
Pronouncement
[PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2], you have made a covenant with one another before these witnesses. You have exchanged vows of faithfulness and rings as tokens of your love and commitment.
Therefore, by the power vested in me, it is my great honor to pronounce you married.
You may kiss your spouse.
