We've already set things up to have a ceremony and all that content, but this would have appealed to me immensely had I known about it earlier, and the fact that its an established tradition would have definitely helped me convince my bride to do this!
I loved this first one
- "loving someone is creating a context for their growth, fostering a deep well of reciprocal good will"
where is it from?
(thanks! all of them are awesome)
I really like the Finnish gov't notary's speech when they wed people (thanks @Optuses from the ACX discord):
"The purpose of marriage is to create a family for the common good of its members and for the preservation of society. Marriage is intended to be permanent, so that the members of the family may together create a happy home."
"In the presence of these witnesses, I ask you [name]: Do you take this [name] to be your spouse, to love him or her for better or for worse?"
(Answer: I do.)
"In the presence of these witnesses, I ask you [name]: Do you take this [name] to be your spouse, to love him for better or for worse?"
(Answer: I do.)
"Having thus answered in the affirmative, each of you, to the question put to you, I pronounce you spouses."
"In token of your union, take a ring from your spouse." (This sentence is omitted if no ring is given.)
"You are now joined in matrimony. As spouses, you are equal. In marriage, show each other love and mutual trust and work together for the good of the family."
