Ceremony Three

Today _bridename_ and _groomname_ are closing a chapter of their past and opening another to their future.

_bridename_ and _groomname_ will work together and through loving and sharing will build a happy life and a lasting friendship.

Their mutual love, support, trust and understanding of each other, will increase their contentment and heighten their joy in living.

_bridename_ and _groomname_ have chosen to journey through life together, having reached the conviction they are for each other.  Their personal commitment to each other has already taken place in their hearts and in their minds.

The passage of life shared by two people in marriage is made possible by mutual support, encouragement and respect.  The special joy which comes, from having a friend and a spouse will be experienced.

Happiness is meant to be shared and happiness shared is happiness doubled.  The burden on our sorrows is halved by the knowledge there is someone who knows, cares, loves and supports us.

_bridename_ and _groomname_ believe successful marriages are not made easily. They need practice, patience and understanding, a lot of love and above all a sense of humour.

Marriage is not a promise of a fairy tale which is characterised by happy endings. _bridename_ and _groomname_ – you are promised though, the opportunity to work together

in developing your future and creating  a story which is uniquely yours. Its unfolding lies in your hands. .

Bride feels proud to be Groom’s partner and that he has chosen her to love and look after and grow old with.

Groom, could not be more happy or proud of the beautiful woman standing here, next to him.

They both look forward with great anticipation to spending the rest of their lives with each other.
