Option 1

Good afternoon and welcome. My name is _celebrant_ and I am a qualified marriage celebrant and authorized by law to officiate this marriage today. I am honoured to be here and to be a part of this very special occasion.

_groomname_  and _bridename_ have invited you to be here today to witness their declaration of love and commitment and to share their joy at becoming husband and wife.

From this day forward, they will be husband and wife. They are honoured that you, their most cherished family and friends, have joined them to help celebrate the wonderful love they share
