Introduction

We are here today to celebrate the union of L and L (fictional names, just for the purpose of this sample).
This occasion not only marks the beginning of their marriage commitment together. It is also celebration of the love nurtured and shared between these two. They embark today on a new life together, built on the foundations of trust, compassion, and respect.If there is anyone present who knows of any reason why this couple should not be married, you may speak now or forever hold your peace.

(Poem or quote)

Marriage is an ancient human tradition. The personal and social merits that accompany the bonds of marriage have led to its endurance, and have built the way for us to be standing here before the Universe celebrating the union between these two wonderful people today.

Exchange of Rings (if any)

The wedding rings symbolize the never-ending love you two have for each other. The rings serve as a welcome and constant reminder of the bond you have created with your partner.
