The following is a commitment ceremony written by Reverend Rhiannon:

We are gathered here today for the purpose of uniting in matrimony,__________
and __________.

The contract of marriage is most solemn and is not to be entered into lightly, but thoughtfully and seriously with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities.

Marriage is a lifelong promise. This commitment requires passion, compassion, kindness & strength, laughter & loyalty, forgiveness & patience, effort & faithfulness, and most of all, love. The joining of 2 lives forevermore creates something new. Knowing that you must not only gaze at each other, but in the same direction, so that you may grow together, rather than apart, you are united in commitment. When you are separated by distances far, know that your partner holds you dear in her heart, awaiting your warm return.

Do you __________, take__________ , to be your spouse for life? Do you promise to love and comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, for better or for worse and be to be faithful to her as long as you shall live?
Partner 1: I do.

I give you this ring in token and pledge of my constant faith and abiding love. With this ring, I thee wed.

To Partner 2: Place the ring on her finger and repeat after me to her.

I give you this ring in token and pledge of my constant faith and abiding love. With this ring, I thee wed.

Now that you have joined yourselves in matrimony, may you strive all your lives to meet this commitment with the same love and devotion that you now share.

I now pronounce you, partners for life. You may kiss each other!
