Please keep in mind that these are examples. I have several more that I have created over the years. If you want something special, please let me know. My goal is to create a ceremony for you that you will treasure for a lifetime.

Civil Ceremony Example One

This is the most simple ceremony I officiate. The ceremony is for couples who desire a short, private, intimate ceremony in our "Gathering Room" or at the location of your choice.


The Wedding Vows:

Officiant:  

You (Name of Bride) and you (Name of Groom) having come to me signifying your desire to be formally united in marriage, and being assured that no legal, moral, or religious barriers hinder this proper union, I command you to join your hands and give heed to the question now asked you.

(Name of Groom) In taking the woman whom you hold by the hands to be your lawful and wedded wife, I require you to promise to love and cherish her, to honor and sustain her, in sickness as in health, in poverty as in wealth, in the bad that may darken your days, in the good that may light your ways, and to be true to her in all things until death alone shall part you.

Do you so promise?

Groom:    I do.

Officiant:    (Name of Bride) In taking the man whom you hold by the hands to be your lawful and wedded husband, I require you to promise to love and cherish him, to honor and sustain him, in sickness as in health, in poverty as in wealth, in the bad that may darken your days, in the good that may light your ways, and to be true to him in all things until death alone shall part you.

Do you so promise?

Bride:        I do.

The Ring Ceremony:

The Ring Exchange:

Officiant:    In token and pledge - Groom Repeats of our constant faith and abiding love - Groom Repeats with this ring I thee wed - Groom Repeats.

Officiant:   In token and pledge - Bride Repeats of our constant faith and abiding love - Bride Repeats with this ring I thee wed - Bride Repeats.

Declaration of Marriage:

Officiant:    (Name of Bride) and (Name of Groom) since you have committed yourselves to a life long love, and since you have agreed to meet the needs of each other as long as you both live, and you have made your intentions known, And so, By the power vested in me by and according to the laws of the State of Ohio, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now kiss your bride.

Keep in mind, these are examples, I have several more I have written
 over the years for you to choose from
