tie the knot with love knots

This ceremony was created and performed by another officiant of our faith.

-THE BEGINNING (in their own words)-

It all began at Natures Oasis, when (Groom) (the produce-guy) offered (Bride) (the deli-girl) a whiff of frankincense. The gesture intrigued (Bride). The two exchanged glances for a few days until (Bride) (the deli-girl) followed (Groom) (the produce-guy) downstairs into the walk-in freezer. In sub-zero temperatures, (Groom) asked (Bride) to go on their first date, a midnight mountain hike, on an icy trail, in the middle of winter.

WELCOME to the marriage of (Groom) and (Bride). Hiking through those majestic mountains we see behind us, under a midnight sky filled with billions of stars and galaxies, a powerful force was unleashed. It was a force more powerful than (Groom) was by himself or (Bride) by herself. A force that was then, and is today, more powerful than any of us here today. It is the power of love.

Love is life’s greatest treasure. It is something to keep our hopes alive. It drives us to be our best and to help one another. It is something that makes (Groom) and (Bride) more powerful together than either one could be separately.

(Groom) and (Bride), each of you gives of yourself, your life and your love, unto the hands of each other. You do so trustingly and openly. In return, each of you receives the gift of love and commitment from the other. You receive this gift of love, not only from each other, but also from the parents who brought you into the world and raised you. You receive this gift from the friends and family who are with us here today, and also from those who are with us today in spirit only.

-VOWS of (Groom) and (Bride). (Joining hands)-

(Groom), “I commit my life to our marriage. I promise to comfort you, to encourage you. I promise to express my thoughts and emotions to you, to listen to you in times of joy and in times of sorrow. You are my closest friend, and I love you. Do you take me to be your husband, and to share my life with you?”

(Bride), “I do.”

(Bride), “I commit my life to our marriage. I promise to comfort you, to encourage you. I promise to express my thoughts and emotions to you, to listen to you in times of joy and in times of sorrow. You are my closest friend, and I love you. Do you take me to be your wife and share my life with you?”

(Groom), “I do.”

THE RING is a circle. It has no beginning; it has no end. The ring represents eternity. And though our lives are finite, your love is everlasting, a creative force that binds us together forever. These rings signify to all that you are now united in a partnership of love and a committed life with one another.

(Groom), (While placing the ring on (Bride)’s finger) “In token and pledge of the vow between us, I give you this ring as the symbol of our unity.”

(Bride), (While placing the ring on (Groom)’s finger) “In token and pledge of the vow between us, I give you this ring as the symbol of our unity.”

(Groom) and (Bride) have declared their love for one another before us. They have pledged unity and understanding, and to share each other’s life journey from this day forward.

BLESSING (Apache Wedding Blessing)
(Groom) and (Bride), now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. Go now from this ceremony and enter into the days of your life together. May your days be many and good upon the earth.

(GROOM) and (BRIDE), I am delighted to announce that you are now husband and wife. (Groom), you may now kiss your bride.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. (Married Couple)!
