Welcome, family, friends and loved ones. We are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Na Hyung and Phillip. You have come here from all over the country - Georgia, California, Washington - to share in this commitment they now make to one another, to offer your love and support to their union, and to allow Na Hyung and Phillip to start their married life together surrounded by people dear and important to them.
Na Hyung and Phillip thank you for your presence here today. They ask for your blessing, encouragement, and lifelong support for their decision to be married. They also remember other loved ones who cannot be here to share this moment with them today. Those people too, they hold dear in their hearts.
Na Hyung and Phillip, marriage is the promise between two people who love each other, who trust that love, who honor one another as individuals in that togetherness, and who wish to spend the rest of their lives together. It enables you to share your desires, longings, dreams, memories, joys and sorrows, and help each other through all uncertainties of life.
You are adding to your life not only the affection of each other, but also the companionship and blessing of a deep trust. You are agreeing to share strength, responsibilities, and love. To make this relationship work, therefore, takes more than love. It takes trust, and to know in your hearts that you want only the best for each other.
WITTY QOUTE
Na Hyung and Phillip, please join hands, look at one another now and remember this moment in time.
PROMPT FOR VOWS SOMEHOW
Phillip, do you take Na Hyung to be your wife? (I do.)
Na Hyung, do you take Phillip to be your husband? (I do.)
Please present the rings.
Your wedding ring is a symbol of your promise to one another. The ring, an unbroken, never ending circle, is a symbol of committed, unending love.
Phillip, as you place this ring on Na Hyung's finger, repeat these words after me: "This ring symbolizes my love for you; and the commitments we made today"
Na Hyung, as you place this ring on Phillip's finger, repeat these words after me: "This ring symbolizes my love for you; and the commitments we made today"
Na Hyung and Philip, you have come here today of your own free will and in the presence of family and friends, have declared your love and commitment to each other. You have given and received a ring as a symbol of your promises. By the power of your love and commitment to each other, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now share your first kiss as husband and wife.
Friends and family, I now present to you the newly married couple. Now clap your damn hands and let's get ready for some BBQ!
