Option 1

My name is _celebrant_, I am duly authorised by law to solemnise marriages according to that law. Before you _groomname_ and _bridename_ are joined in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these witnesses, I am to remind you of the solemn and binding nature of the relationship you are now about to enter. Marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of two people, to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.
