Sample of Introduction for Ceremony

How precious it is, when the accidental meeting of two individuals leads to the forging of a bond of husband and wife.

Marriage is a time for celebration, loyalty, family and friendship.

Marriage is a loving union, where two people grow together, learning to be tolerant of their differences, sharing their dreams, listening to each other, talking to each other and always remaining trusting and loyal.

Leanne and Sean's decison to publicly exchange vows today confirms their commitment to a marriage that has already taken place in their hearts and in their minds. Leanne and Sean understand the importance of friendship, family, loyalty and of sharing their lives as equals in a loving partnership. It is in this spirit that they stand before us today.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. Mother Teresa
