The Welcome

My name is Carol Crump. The couple standing before you specially chose the ceremony I am about to perform.

I welcome you here to share in this special day for Trevor and Cass they have formed a strong bond between themselves and have decided to declare their love for each other in the union of Marriage.

May their friendship and the love between them be a solid base on which their Marriage will grow strong.

Marriage is a sharing of all aspects in life, learning to accept the faults and weaknesses as well as the positive qualities.

This love is about finding time for each other when there is no time, it is about allowing each other to grow as an individual.

Your love for each other will grow stronger so you can enjoy your life together as husband and wife.

Trevor, and Cass the promise you make to each other today is serious, because it will bind you together in a relationship so close and so intimate that it will profoundly influence your whole future.

The future with its hopes and disappointments, successes and failures, pleasures and pains, joys and sorrows, are hidden from your eyes.

You know that these elements are mingled in every life and are to be expected in your own. And so, not knowing what is before, but trusting in each other's companionship you take each other through the best and the worst of what lies ahead. I now invite you to join hands and commit yourselves to each other forever.

Marriage Declaration

I am duly authorized by law to solemnize Marriages according to Law, and before you are joined in Marriage in my presence and in the presence of these witnesses, I am to remind you of the solemn and binding nature of the relationship into which you are about to enter. Marriage, according to the Law in Australia, is the voluntary union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, and entered into for life.

The Giving:

Do you Trevor, take Cass, to be your wife, will you love and respect her, be honest with her and stand by her through whatever may come, so you can genuinely share your life together; `Til death do you part

To Bride

Celebrant to groom

What symbol do you have as a pledge of your vows?

Let  these rings which you are about to exchange, serve to remind you that  a circle is a symbol of the sun, the earth and the universe; of wholeness, peace and unity.  Your rings are circles that have no beginning and no ending.  They are tokens of the growing relationship you have come here to celebrate and confirm. they are emblems of eternity which cannot be tarnished and which are without end, to show how imperishable is the faith that you have now mutually pledged before witnesses.
