Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join in marriage David and Amber.

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other.  Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other.  Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other.  Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you.  May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years. May happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long upon the earth. 

Here I have been asked to say words for the bride and groom.

We honor all creation as we pledge our hearts and lives together.  We honor mother-earth - and ask for our marriage to be abundant and grow stronger through the seasons; 
We honor fire - and ask that our union be warm and glowing with love in our hearts;  We honor wind - and ask we sail though life safe and calm;  We honor water - to clean and soothe our relationship - that it may never thirsts for love;  We  pray for harmony and true happiness as we forever grow young together.

Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you,

For where you go I will go, 
and where you stay I will stay

And where you die, I will die and there will I be buried.

And nothing but death shall part you from me.

Please take your rings.

All things in Nature are circular - night becomes day, day becomes night and night becomes day again. The moon waxes and wanes and waxes again. There is Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and then the Spring returns.

These rings are a symbol of the unbroken circle of love. Love freely given has no beginning and no end, no giver and no receiver for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings always remind you of the vows you have taken.

David, do you take Amber to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage.  
Do you promise to love her, comfort her, share her secrets,
laugh with her, cry with her, love her faithfully,
protect her from harm, honor and keep her 
For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health
And forsaking all others, be faithful only to her
Until you are parted by death? 

***I do

For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health
And forsaking all others, be faithful only to him
Until you are parted by death? 

***I do

If we learn no more of in life, let it be this: The law of life is love unto all beings. Without love, life is nothing. Without love, death has no meaning. Love is before life, and after death. Therefore, in the sight, and with the blessings of everyone here, we join with you, in celebrating your marriage.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.
