Introduction:
Friends, I call upon everyone here present to be a fellow witness with me in this marriage
between (Groom and Bride).  We are here, not only to witness their commitment to each other, but also to wish them well and every happiness for their life together.

(Groom and Bride) believe marriage is founded on that sort of sincerity and understanding,
which leads to tolerance, confidence and trust.  They feel it involves respect for each other's
individuality and that most difficult of tasks, the acceptance of each other's weaknesses,
prejudices and faults.  They believe too that those qualities, which have attracted each to the other and brought them here today, can obviously be best developed during a life spent together. A happy marriage, they both know, will enable them to establish a home where there will be love and stability, where you, their family and also their friends will find welcome, peace, harmony and support, and which will be a base from which the influence of their shared, and we hope strengthened life today by this wedding ceremony, can extend.

Charge to couple:

Real love in marriage is something beyond the warmth and the excitement and romance of being deeply in love.  It is as much about the welfare and happiness of your marriage partner as about your own.  But real love is not being absorbed in each other.  Love makes burdens lighter because you divide them, it makes joys more intense because you share them.  It makes you stronger so you can reach out and become involved with life in ways you dared not risk alone.

The beautiful thing about love is that it's an experience we share with the whole of mankind
throughout the world.  And yet, to everyone who falls in love, it is the most unique, precious
thing in the world.  A really happy marriage is founded on love.  There is nothing in life that love cannot change.  Love is, of its nature, unselfish, understanding and kind.  True love, too, is a commitment of heart and mind.  There can be no stronger bond to ensure a happy married life.

Harmonious wedded life is a precious gain to both man and woman because, even though
marriage increases the scope of responsibility; it adds the dimension of love to life, giving it new meaning and purpose.

On this day, (Groom and Bride) the day of your marriage, you are standing somewhat apart from the rest of us as a symbol of the open expression of your love.  This is as it should be, but love is not meant to be the possession of two people alone.  Rather it should be the source of a common energy, which gives you the strength to live your lives with joy, happiness and with courage.
