Tolkien reminds us that “The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
Dear Friends and Family, although they don't know half of you half as well as They should like; and like less than half of you half as well as you deserve: we are all gathered together here; in the eyes of God, and the presence of these witnesses, to join together Glendon and Alyssa in the bonds of holy matrimony; honorable, joyful and forever. On behalf of Glenn and Alyssa: welcome and thank you to each of you for sharing in today and bearing witness to this celebration of their love.
(If dad participates)All of you here are witnesses to Glenn and Alyssa’s commitment, however, Who comes today to give his blessings on this marriage, and the formal joining of this family, by presenting this woman to this man?
I do, join hands
1st Corinthians, chapter 13 verses 4 through 8 remind us that Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.
From this day: may your love and marriage become a living embodiment of the idea that “The old that is strong does not wither,” because “Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”
Glenn, do you freely come here today, without reservation, to unite with Alyssa as your lawfully wedded wife and to begin your new life together within the bonds of holy matrimony? Do you promise to always love her? Do you promise to always comfort her? Do you promise to always honor and keep her and, forsaking all others, to be faithful only unto Alyssa, and no other, for all of eternity?
And Alyssa, do you freely come here today, without reservation, to unite with Glendon as your lawfully wedded husband and to begin your life together within the bonds of holy matrimony? Do you promise to always love him? Do you promise to always comfort him? Do you promise to always honor and keep him and, forsaking all others, to be faithful only unto Glenn, and no other, for all of eternity?
May you both always remember that “Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.” And in binding yourselves to one another: may it be that Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be the shelter for the other. That Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be the warmth for the other. That Now there will be no loneliness: for each of you will be the companion of the other. That Now although you are two persons, there is but one life before you. May love and kindness surround you both in the journey that lies ahead of you; and through all the years to come: May happiness be your daily companion. may your days together be many upon this earth and may each be better than the last. may you find each other again and resume that journey of love once you have both left this earthly life.
Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness, and kindness that your union requires and deserves. When frustration, difficulties, and fear assail your life together; as they threaten all relationships at one time or another: remember to focus on what is right between you, and never on the part which seems wrong at that particular moment. May you always remember “It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit” and may each of you be a true representation of the pure spiritual and physical strength that the other requires during each time you are in need or feeling stress. In this way, together, you can ride out any storms that bring clouds to hide the face of the sun from each of you; and remind each other that even if ones loses sight of the sun for a moment: it is still there, shining just as brightly as ever. And remember that if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, then it will be marked by abundance and delight. “May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.”
Vows:
Together (or individual?) to Brittany & BridgetI give you my home, that you may know where you belong; I give you my hands, to pick you up every time you fall; and I give you my heart, that you may always know that each of you is loved. And “if by my life or death I can protect you, I will.” May God bless our lives together so that they are filled with togetherness, hope, joy, and peace because “Where there's life there's hope” and you brought joy and hope to our lives from the moment you came into this world.

I promise to encourage and to inspire you, to cherish and to care for you, to respect and to honor you, with all my heart every day and every night for for the rest of our lives. I promise to comfort you during any darkness in our lives because One “can only come to the morning through the shadows” of night and I want to be your partner, friend, lover, and supporter through every bright day and each dark night that our future life together will bring.And today; in front of our family and friends: I, Glendon, take you Alyssa -to be my lawfully wedded wife: to have and to hold from this day forward: for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish for all eternity.

Now, for the Blessing of the Rings:Made in a circle, these rings signify an everlasting union with no end. Made of precious metals, they symbolize the value of your relationship. Wear them as symbols of love and honor, joy and commitment.
May these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go, may they always return to one another in their togetherness. May these two find in each other the love for which all men and women yearn. May they grow in understanding and in compassion for one another. May the home, which they establish together, be such a place of sanctuary that many who come there will find true and honest friendship. May these rings on their fingers symbolize the touch of the spirit of love in the heart. And when “Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night” may these rings be constant reminder to each of you “Until the stars are all alight.” That Then you can put “the world behind and home ahead,” and with these rings “wander back and home to bed. Through Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, until the darkness Away shall fade!”
Now: Let us pray. Bless these rings, Dear Lord, to be the visible sign of the vows made here between these two souls that are joining into one life, that each one who gives a ring and each one who wears a ring may be perpetually reminded of the promises made today in your Holy Presence, and may this one life be evermore thriving and growing in the spirit of your love. Amen.
Glendon will you take this ring and place it upon Alyssa’s finger, and as you do, repeat after me, these words:
I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow and offer you all that I am, all that I have, and all that I shall be. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit With this ring, I thee wed
Alyssa will you take this ring and place it upon Glendon’s finger, and as you do, repeat after me, these words:
