MEDITATION/PRAYER We pray that the inspiration of this moment will not be forgotten; that these two people will faithfully keep the covenant which they have just made, and know the peace which faithful love can bring; that, trusting each other, they will trust life, and face its uncertainties without fear; that they will be a blessing and a comfort to each other through all the years of their life together. Amen. DECLARATION OF MARRIAGE Forasmuch as Victoria Rogers and Kevin Patrick have consented together in marriage, declared their love for one another in vows, and exchanged rings as a symbol of that love, they are now husband and wife. KISS SIGNING OF THE REGISTER CELEBRATION It is a time for thanksgiving and for celebration. Thanksgiving: that Victoria and Kevin have found each other in this world of unlimited possibilities. Celebration: that they have chosen to make this special commitment to each other. When two people so choose to join themselves together in love, I believe that we are all touched within, that we all sense the beauty and the meaning here for ourselves. It is surely a time for thanksgiving and for celebration. (Conrad Dippel) BENEDICTION Go now and walk the ways of the world together, and may your days be good and long upon the earth. Amen. RECESSIONAL
READING The marriage ceremony is rich with symbolism: vows and rings, flowers and special costumes. In a sense, even my presence here as a minister is a symbol, one which reminds us that something religious is taking place. The religious base of marriage lies not in dogmas, creeds, or doctrines about the unknown, but rather it lies in the known feelings and commitments of two individuals. The religious base of marriage is personal – or it is lacking. Our deepest religious sentiments are grounded in love, in caring, and in concern for the well-being of others. While sometimes our religious focus is towards all humanity, sometimes, too, our attention is directed towards one specific individual. In either case, the meaning and importance of what we do, its true religious value, is marked by how deeply we feel. (Conrad Dippel) PREFACE TO VOWS The pledges you will now repeat are a statement of present intent and commitment. They cannot endure unless you make them endure – the spoken word holds no hidden power within itself. Stronger than these words are your love and will to grow together in your union. So it is not simply to words or to institutions that we appeal at this moment of commitment, but to the resources upon which you can draw from within yourselves.
OPENING WORDS We are gathered here with expectation and love for these two special people; to join them together in marriage, which is an estate rooted in the far dawn of human history, yet forever new with each person who so pledges love freely to another. It is a decision full of the awesome unknown, to be made advisedly and carefully, as well as with praise and delight for its inexpressible gifts. The celebration of marriage is an outward sign of an inward union of hearts, which the Church may bless and the State may make legal, but which neither State nor Church can create or annul. It is a union created by loving purpose, kept by abiding will, and broken only by the death of love in two people’s hearts. READING Love is a respect for the preciousness and worth of a person. Love gives and love receives. Love cannot live in itself, it must be nurtured with a mutual and ultimate sharing, a giving and a taking. Love is the noblest passion a person can feel, for it surpasses all lesser desires. Love is precious because it is an ethical commitment to another, which honours the duties of the promises here made, not only from a sense of obligation, but from the depths of the most divine sentiment a person can enjoy. (Brandoch Lovely)
Loving what I know of you, trusting what I don’t yet know, I want to live with you just as you are. I choose you above all others, to share my life with me. I promise to honour and tenderly care for you, to cherish and encourage your own fulfillment as an individual through all the changes of our lives.

Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided to pass as I did not connect with the story as much as I would need to in order to take on a project. Someone else is going to love this, though, so keep querying! I wish you all the best on your publishing journey and please feel free to query me with your next project if you feel it is a fit.
