Option 3

 Monitum

My name is _celebrant_, I am duly authorised by law to solemnise marriages according to that law. Before you are joined in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these witnesses, I am to remind you _groomname_ and _bridename_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.

Celebrant:     

_bridename_and _groomname_, do you, with family and friends as your witnesses,
 present yourselves willingly and of your own accord to be joined in marriage?

We do

Will you promise to care for each other in the joys and sorrows of life,
 come what may,
 and to share the responsibility for growth and enrichment of your life together?

We do

Then please turn to each other and share the vows you have written.
