Jeremy and Salena’s Wedding Ceremony
Dear Family and Friends, we are gathered here today to
unite this couple in the holy bond of matrimony. This is a relationship entered into thoughtfully, reverently, with gratitude
for the past and hope for the future. Jeremy and Salina, you have come into the presence of
these witnesses to profess that which lies deep in your heart, and to receive the Divine blessing which unites you. Let us acknowledge the presence of
God as the perfection of all life, as the perfection of this Divine Love that Jeremy and Salena share.
This
perfection has kindled within the soul of this Man and Woman the Divine fire of Its own nature. A fire that burns with an
ever increasing intensity as it fuses their lives into a perfect oneness. We recognize their love as pure and strong. We feel
the joy as we witness the light of their devotion and the flame of their rich passion for life.
Take
a moment and observe the awesome beauty of the ocean. We can relate the relationship that Salena and Jeremy share to this
beautiful stretch of water. Like this ocean it is smooth and graceful in a way that is relaxed and peaceful. Like this sea,
there will be times of turbulence with waves of ups and downs. We know that the strength that both bring forth into this union
binds and connects with such power that the challenges will only make them stronger together.
I
invite you to feel the sand between your feet; be aware of your connection to the earth. The union these two share
is grounded and sacred, deeply seeded in a solid bond of mutual growth, with understanding of the needs and desires of each
other. As they stand together in their faith, the power and perseverance through all things will continuously bind them.
As
the wind blows, it carries with it a degree of change. In this relationship both Jeremy and Salena will experience much transformation.
Life will unfold with new channels for their mutual expression. As they approach each new adventure with reverence for each
other, we know that their lives will be filled with an abundance of all the good that they choose to create together.
We
are not only bringing together this couple in the sacred art of matrimony, we also acknowledge both of the family’s
that become united in this vow: This vow of dedication, communication, and love. From this point forward we commit to being
a family that supports each other in all the blessings that this life offers.
VOWS
(Join
hands)
Consecration of Rings
The ring is used in this ceremony because
the circle is the only symbol that has no beginning and no ending. The circle is our oldest symbol for God, or Spirit: That
which was the beginning, is now and ever shall be. In this ceremony, it is that love which is eternal.
“With
this ring, I pledge you my love”.
As Jeremy and Salena have pledged their faith in each
other in the presence of this company of witnesses, by virtue of my sacred stewardship and the authority vested in me by the
State of California, I now declare you Husband and Wife.
You may kiss the
each other.
