Writing our own ceremony

Meagan, on April 19, 2019 at 10:31 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 14
We are writing our own ceremony. My future father in law will be officiating he will add his touches but wanted us to put something together as a starting bases. My FH put an amazing ceremony together. I'm so touched that he wanted to write it. However we both hate the ring exchanging part and can't seem to come up with something we like. Does anyone have any scripts or quotes or ideas for this part of the ceremony?

    This is how we are doing ours:

    First for you Groom,

    Groom, you have chosen Bride to be your wife. Will you love and respect her? Will you be honest with her always? Will you stand by her through whatever may come?

    (Answer “I will”)

    (Groom put’s ring on Bride’s hand.)

    Bride, you have chosen Groom to be your husband. Will you love and respect him? Will you be honest with him always? Will you stand by him through whatever may come?

    (Answer “I will”)

    (Bride Put’s ring on Groom’s hand.)

    He picked something that was talking about the beginning of the rings and how they were made from rocks in the earth. Kinda goes through the process of how they are made and how they become something beautiful in the end....its actually a lovely story but it doesn't fit with the rest of the loving sweet ceremony. We both agree. He even had it highlighted in red and told me it was just a place holder because he didn't like it either lol. So now we are searching for something to go in its place to describe why we exchange rings

    We do have that part which I really like what he did....its more the story or explanation of why we are exchanging rings that we need to tweak. The lead up to exchanging the rings.

    Ahh I see we omitted that part and we are just doing the vow and giving the rings after.

    I don't like the typical "I do" so we choose "I will" instead! Love how you are also writing your own.

    "A ring is an unbroken circle, with ends that have been joined together, and it represents your union. It is also a symbol of completeness, just as you two complete each other. It is a symbol of infinity, and of your infinite love. It encircles an opening, which is the door to your future. When you look at these rings on your hands, be reminded of this moment, your commitment, and the love you now feel for each other."
