Today we have come together to witness the joining of these two lives. For them, out of the routine of ordinary life, the extraordinary has happened, They met each other, fell in love and are finalizing it with their wedding today. Romance is fun, but true love is something far more and it is their desire to love each other for life and that is what we are celebrating here today.

A good marriage must be created, in marriage the little things are the big things.

It is never being too old to hold hands,

It is remembering to say “I love you”, at least once a day

It is never going to sleep angry

It is standing together to face the world

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow

It is a common search for the good and the beautiful

It is not only marring the right person-it is being th right partner

Vows( face each other and hold hands)Repeat after me

I____________take you _____________to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow and forever.

I will trust and honor you –I will laugh with you and cry with you—I will love you faithfully

Through the best and the worst, through the difficult and the easy.

Whatever may come I will always be there as I have given you my hand to hold

_____________and ____________I would ask that you always treat yourself and each other with respect and remind yourselves often of what brought you together today.

Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your marriage deserves, When frustration and difficulty assail your marriage, as they do to every relationship at one time or another-focus on what still seems right between you, not only the part the seems wrong.

This way, when clouds of trouble hide the sun in your lives and you lose sight of it for a moment ,you can remember that the sun is still there. And if each of you will take responsibility for the quality of your life together ,it will be marked by abundance and happiness.
