Today we are here to join you to share in the joy of this occasion, which should be one of the most memorable and happy days of your life.
On this day of your union, you stand somewhat apart from all other human beings. You stand within the charmed circle of your love; and this is as it should be. But love is not meant to be the possession of two people alone. Rather it would serve as a source of common energy, as a form in which you find the strength to live your lives with courage. From this day onward you must come closer together than ever before, you must love one another in sickness and in health, for better and for worse, but at the same time your love should give you the strength to stand apart, to seek out your unique destinies, to make your special contribution to the world which is always part of us and more than us.
Do you, gotharmymandon (Don), take this woman, Sleepless4RYUK (Tiffy), to be your lawful joined partner, to love, honor and cherish her through sickness and in health, through times of happiness and travail, until death do you part?
Don said, "I Do!"
Do you, Sleepless4RYUK (Tiffy) , take this man, gotharmymandon (Don), to be your lawful joined partner, to love, honor and cherish him through sickness and in health, through periods of tranquility and travail, until death do you part?
Tiffy said "I Do!"
(The parties are now directed to join hands.)
Having joined hands, I said:
"By the act of joining hands you take to yourself the relation of partners in life and solemnly promise to love, honor, comfort and cherish each other so long as you both shall live. Therefore, in accordance with the law of Gaia and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the law of Gaia I do pronounce you partners in life."
You may now kiss the bride
