Before God, we have come together today for marriage is one of the most sacred of
his wishes. And now He joins you together in one of the holiest of bonds. Let us bow
our head in prayer.Oh Lord hear our prayer for Gary and Arabelle who today are united
in Marriage before you. Give them Your blessings and always strengthen their Love for
each other. Amen.
I find some likeness between marriage and religion. they are both concerned with the
emergence of the larger self. It is finding of ones life by loosing it. Such is the
privilege of husband and wife, to be each himself, herself and yet another to face
the world strong with the strength of two, wise with the wisdom of two, and brave
with the courage of two. The high and fine art of married life is in this mutual
enrichment, mental and spiritual,this give and take between two personalities. You
are about to enter into a union which is most sacred and most serious, requiring of
those who enter into it a complete and unreserved giving of self. It will bind you
together for life in a relationship so close and so intimate that it will profoundly
affect your whole life.That future with its hopes and disappointments,its successes
and its failures, its pleasures and its pains, its joys and its sorrows are hidden
from your eyes. Love can make it easy, perfect Love can make it a joy. May, then,
this Love with which you join your hands and hearts today never fail, but grow deeper
and stronger as the years go on!
In the quiet of this very special moment we pause to give thanks for all the rich
experiences of life that have brought you to this high point in your lives. We are
especially grateful for the values that have flowed into you from those who have
loved you along life's way. We are grateful that within is the dream of a great Love
and the resources to use that Love in creating a home that shall endure. We are
grateful for the values which you have found by your own strivings Now as you make
your promises to each other, may you make them with the deepest insight into their
meaning and with your fullest sincerity. May this be the beginning of a relationship
that will grow and mature with each passing year until the latter days become more
wonderful than the first. I ask you each tonow agree to the marriage vows. Gary, do
you take Arabelle for your lawfully wedded Wife, to Love and cherish from this day
forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in
health? Arabelle, do you take Gary for your lawfully wedded Husband, to Love and
cherish from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in
sickness and in health?
The hand offered by each of you is an extension of Self, just as is your mutual Love.
Cherish the touch, for you touch not only your own but another Life. Be ever
sensitive to its pulse. Seek always to understandand respect its rhythm.
At this time I ask that you place the marriage rings in my hand. Maythe Lord bless
these rings which you give as your sign of love and devotion.Amen.Gary, as you place
Arabelle's ring on her finger I ask that you repeat these words, With this ring, I
thee wed. Arabelle, as you place Garys ring on his finger I ask that you repeat these
words, With this ring I thee wed.
May you always share with each other the gifts of love and be One in heart and always
beautiful of mind. May you always create a Home togethert hat puts in your hearts
love, generosity and kindness. In Hawaiian they say Pili olua e, you two are now one.
Haku e kau i malama lama 0 kona makamaluna. The lord bless you and keep you to shine
upon you and be
gracious unto you What, therefore, God has joined together let no man put asunder.
And so by the power vested in me by the state of Hawaii, I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU HUSBAND
AND WIFE. you may kiss the bride.
