Minister:
We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two people, ____________ and ____________, whose hearts and spirits are entwined as one. They now desire to profess before all the world their intention henceforth to walk the road of life together.
To these two young people, this marriage signifies the birth of a new spirit, a spirit which is a part of each of us, yet not of any one of us alone. This "birth of spirit" reminds us of spring, the season when all life is reborn and looms again. It is appropriate, therefore, that this wedding of ____________ and ____________ be in the spring, and that it be under the open sky, where we are close to the earth and to the unity of life, the totality of living things of which we are part.
The beliefs and thoughts about love which motivate these two people are perhaps best expressed in the words of poet Kahlil Gibran:
"You were born to be together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in your silent memory.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heaven dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bondage of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other\'s cup, but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread, but eat not of the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone, though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other\'s keeping,
For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together,
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in shadow."
Minister to Bride:
Do you ____________, knowing this man\'s love for you and returning it, realizing his strengths and learning from them, recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them, take ____________ to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Bride:
I do.
Minister:
Place the ring on his finger.
Minister to Groom:
Do you ____________, knowing this woman\'s love for you and returning it, realizing her strengths and learning form them, recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them, take ____________ to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Groom:
I do.
Minister:
Place the ring on her finger. Let these rings serve as locks–not binding you together–but as keys, unlocking the secrets of your hearts for each other to know, and thus bringing you closer together forever.
And now ____________ and ____________, seeking the fulfillment of love and marriage, find again that the poet Gibran speaks for them:
"Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks to another day of loving.
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love\'s ecstasy;
To return home eventide with gratitude, and then sleep with a prayer
For the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips."
I now pronounce you husband and wife

关于爱情的信仰和思想,激励这两个人可能是最好的表达了诗人卡里‧纪伯伦的话说:
“你出生在一起,你们将永远相依。
你应当在一起当死亡的翅膀分散你的天。
是的,即使在你沉默的记忆,你们也应在一起。
但要有空间在你的归属感,
让天堂的风舞蹈你们之间。
彼此相爱,但不要让爱的束缚。
让它成为奔流于你们灵魂海岸间的大海。
填补彼此\ ' s杯,但喝不从一个杯子。
给另一个你的面包,但不要吃相同的块。
唱歌跳舞在一起,是快乐的,但让你们每个人独处,
如同一把琴的字符串是孤独的,虽然他们战栗相同的音乐。
奉献你们的心,但不要让对方\ ' s保持,
因为只有生命的手才能包含你们的心。
站在一起,但不要靠得太近,
因为殿宇的柱子,
橡树和柏树生长没有阴影。”

现在_______和_______,寻找爱情和婚姻的满足感,再次发现,诗人吉布安说:
“爱没有别的愿望,只要成全自己。
在黎明带着轻快的心醒来并感谢又一个充满爱的日子。
在中午休息,冥想爱\ ' s狂喜;
黄昏怀着感恩之心回家,然后睡觉祷告
为你所爱的人的心,唇间挂着赞美之歌。”
我现在宣布你们成为夫妻。
