Steph Reads:
You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone, the day you meet your soul mate, the day all your dreams come true. The day you realize there's not enough time, because you want to live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days.
Justin Reads:
The Union
by Robert Fulghum
You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes, to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making commitments in an informal way. All of those conversations that were held in a car, or over a meal, or during long walks – all those conversations that began with, “When we’re married”, and continued with “I will” and “you will” and “we will” – all those late night talks that included “someday” and “somehow” and “maybe” – and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding.
The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, “You know all those things that we’ve promised, and hoped, and dreamed – well, I meant it all, every word.”
Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another – acquaintance, friend, companion, even teacher, for you have learned much from one another these past six years. Shortly you shall say a few words that will take you across a threshold of life, and things between you will never quite be the same.
For after today you shall say to the world – This is my husband. This is my wife.
Rebecca, will you please join hands with Matthew and repeat after me.
"I Rebecca,
take you Matthew to be my husband,
my partner in life and my one true love.
I will cherish our union
and love you more each day than the day before.
I will trust you and respect you,
laugh with you and cry with you,
loving you faithfully through good times and bad,
regardless of the obstacles we may face together.
I give you my hand, my heart, and my love,
from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
Matthew, please repeat after me.
"I Matthew
take you Rebecca to be my wife
my partner in life and my one true love.
I will cherish our union
and love you more each day than the day before.
I will trust you and respect you,
laugh with you and cry with you,
loving you faithfully through good times and bad,
regardless of the obstacles we may face together.
I give you my hand, my heart, and my love,
from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."
Exchange of Rings
“Traditionally, the passage into marriage is marked by the exchange of rings. The unbroken circle represents the love freely given and received in marriage. May these rings always remind you of the vows you have taken.”
Matthew, take Rebecca’s ring and place it on her finger
I give you this ring as a sign that I choose you
To be my partner and my best friend, to the end of my days
Wear it, think of me, and know that I love you
Rebecca, take Matthew’s ring and place it on his finger
I give you this ring as a sign that I choose you
To be my partner and my best friend, to the end of my days
Wear it, think of me, and know that I love you
Pronouncement
Remember the promises you have made to each other today, carry them close in your heart, but most all live them, each and every day. Now by the power vested in me by the State of Maine, and before God and these witnesses, it gives me great pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife. Matthew, you may kiss your bride.
Friends and family, may I now introduce for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Hubbell.
