Your Galveston Wedding Minister!

Sample Wedding Ceremony

Friends and family of the bride and groom, welcome and thank you for being here on this important day. We are gathered together to celebrate the very special love between Erica and Jeffeory, by joining them in marriage. All of us need and desire to love and to be loved. And the highest form of love between two people is within a monogamous, committed relationship.

Erica & Jeffeory, your marriage today is the public and legal joining of your souls that have already been united as one in your hearts. Marriage will allow you a new environment to share your lives together to face life and the world, hand-in-hand. Marriage is going to expand you as individuals, define you as a couple, and deepen your love for one another. To be successful, you will need strength, courage, patience, and a really good sense of humor. So, let your marriage be a time of waking each morning and falling in love with each other all over again.

Erica & Jeffeory, as you stand here today, I remind you of the serious nature of the relationship you are about to enter. Marriage is the voluntary and full commitment of two consenting adults to love each other for a lifetime. For a marriage to be successful, you must each be loyal to the other and be supportive of one another's life goals and dreams. It is a solemn, binding, yet challenging relationship.

Will you, Jeffeory, cherish Erica as your lawful wedded wife, protecting her, and tending to her needs through illness and disappointment? (I Will) Will you,

The wedding ring is a symbol of married love, the precious metals show that your love is your most precious possession, and the unending circle symbolizes that your love may never cease.

Jeffeory, as you place the ring on her finger, please repeat after me. "Erica, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love. I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my wife. With this ring, I thee wed."
