Dear family and friends, we are gathered at this hour to witness and take joy in the union of two lives, those of (INSERT BRIDE & GROOM’S NAME).

THE CHARGE

OFFICIATE:

Marriage affords a wonderful opportunity for peace of mind, soul, and happiness. (INSERT BRIDE & GROOM’S NAME), you are about to enter into a union which is most serious. It is most serious, because it will bind you together for life in a relationship so close and so intimate that it will profoundly influence your whole future. As you join in marriage, there is a vast and unknown future before you. That future, with its hopes and disappointments, its successes and its failures, its pleasures and its pains, its joys and sorrows, is hidden from your eyes. And so not knowing what is before you, you take each other in marriage.

On this special occasion, your wedding day, you stand apart from other human beings. You stand within the charmed circle of your own love. This is as it should be for love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.

The possibilities and potentials of your married life are great. Now falls upon you the task of choosing goals, selecting values, and making a reality of your dreams and the dreams of those who have gone before you. In this way, you will find the true meaning of your lives together. Henceforth, you will belong entirely to each other; you will be one in mind, one in heart, and one in affection. And whatever sacrifices you may hereafter be required to make to preserve this mutual life, always make them generously. Sacrifice is difficult and tedious. Only love can make it easy and perfect love can make it a joy. May this love with which you join your hands and hearts today grow deeper and stronger as the years go on and may your life together be happy and complete.

(INSERT BRIDE & GROOM’S NAME), I charge you to be warm and sensitive to each other, to give fully of yourselves, and to save time for each other no matter what demands are made upon you.
