Coming Home to Love and Nature 2024 – Bride & Groom or Partner & Partner

Welcome, Love has gathered us here today at this most beautiful location in Central Oregon your location – to witness and celebrate the beginning of a whole new adventure and chapter of life for Bride and Groom They love the expansiveness of nature and how it makes them feel and how it supports them in becoming who they were meant to be.

When you experience the mountains and nature together, it evokes awe and splendor. It is indescribable and immense. It is the same feeling that they discovered when falling in love. They love that being in love, you get to grab a piece of transcendence and take it with you in your daily life.

You don’t have to trek to a river valley or to the top of a mountain to feel something important and indescribable; you can feel the beauty and enormity of the mountains within your own heart. That is why Bride and Groom are committing to marriage today to truly experience the expansive nature of life and love.

Hence, that is why they have chosen this location for their ceremony and why they moved to Oregon two-years ago. They truly wanted to come home to who they truly are and to live a life they have always dreamed of.

Before we drop further into the ceremony – Let us take a moment to take in the beauty that surrounds us – let us take in the sky – the mountains, the trees. Let us take time to slow down and become present for love, goodness, connection, and for Bride and Groom.

And to acknowledge what has brought us all together on this beautiful Day.

We are here today, then, to recognize and acknowledge a deep and forever growing bond of love between Groom and Bride.

Today, we will take the time to celebrate how important love is for all of us. I believe when we were children, it was easy to see magic in the world; now we need days like this to remind us – of the power, magic, and the beauty of love – found within us and which surrounds us.

All of us I believe – long to be seen and loved for who we are. All of us want to find a place in this world that we can call home. We yearn to be committed to another and to belong. We long to be loved for who we are and we long to feel safe so that we can take risks and become truly ourselves.

In a loving marriage, you have the freedom to show up and be present for what life is offering in the moment.

In a loving supportive marriage, mistakes are encouraged and acknowledged as the steps necessary in becoming and experiencing life fully. In a sense, marriage is an essential part of life’s journey as like nothing else it allows us to become our best self and gives us the opportunity to give our gifts to the world. A marriage that lasts is one which is always developing and in which each person is individually developing, while growing in understanding of the other.

To be known and accepted in this way, by the one you most love and respect, is perhaps one of life’s most precious gifts.

Groom and Bride, committing your hearts to each other – gives you the opportunity to practice love daily, by being gentle, kind, compassionate, and curious about each other.

It allows you to show up fully and to make each other’s life better. Bride and Groom, on your journey of love, I invite you to keep your extraordinary love alive; to grow, to change, to maintain the capacity for wonder, for spontaneity, for humor: to remain pliable, warm and sensitive.

I invite you to give fully, to show your real feelings, to save time for each other, no matter what demands are made upon your day.

I invite you to see the meaning of life through the changing prism of your love: to nurture each other to fullness and wholeness, to take time to experience the beauty of life in the moment. And I invite you to love yourselves and each other more deeply with each new day of your life together.

We are here then, to celebrate Bride and Groom’s union – therefore they now wish to make their promises and commitments to one another.

(Groom, please repeat after me.)

I, Groom, choose you Bride to be my partner in life and in Love. I promise to be true to you and to myself. To be honest in my actions and words. To support you in all your endeavors. To be your strength in need, Comfort in sorrow and a companion in joy. To love, respect, and honor you and to hold sacred our marriage from this day forward.

Bride, please repeat after me.

I, Bride, choose you Groom to be my partner in life and in love. I promise to be true to you and to myself. To be honest in my actions and words. to support you in all your endeavors to be your strength in need, Comfort in sorrow and a companion in joy. to love, respect, and honor you and to hold sacred our marriage from this day forward

Bride and Groom now wish to exchange rings as symbols of their love and commitment.

Groom, please repeat after me.

Bride, I give you this ring as I give you my heart. I love you!

Bride, please repeat after me.

Groom, I give you this ring as I give you my heart. I love you

As a symbol of Bride and Groom’s unity and commitment they will now plant their unity tree. (Walk to the tree – start planting and I will share these words with you.)

Groom and Bride, let your relationship and your love for each other be like this tree you plant today. Let it grow tall and strong. Let is stand tall during the harsh winds and rains and storms and come through unscathed. Like a tree, your marriage must be resilient. It must weather the challenges of daily life and the passage of time. And just like the tree you are planting — marriage requires constant nurturing and nourishment.

Bride and Groom, since you have showered our hearts with expressions of your love, and promised that your marriage will be a place of honesty, transformation, and love. By the authority vested in me I pronounce you husband and wife.

Groom, you may kiss your most beautiful Bride!

In closing, Bride and Groom, Partner and Partner – as the years pass – remember when you witness pure beauty – pause to be amazed and allow yourselves to experience those feelings, that are deep and beyond words, which are indisputable and timeless.

Remember to be breathless and fulfilled and amazed by the life you are creating together.

No matter how much you think of yourselves as rational, logical human beings, allow yourselves to forget reason and simply feel something. Let yourselves wander and wonder.

Chase the unknown and cherish each moment of your life together. And may your Love like a river cut through any obstacles that may try to impede your way forward. And just like the river may your Love flow with grace, ease, and without end.

Ladies and Gentlemen – Family and Friends, it give me great pleasure to introduce you to________________!
