Preacher: " In the name of Jeff and Samantha, let me welcome you to this joyous occasion. For they have invited you here to be part of their wedding to join with them, to love them and support them, and celebrate them, as they are joined in marriage today. I urge you not come for a solemn occasion, but one to celebrate, with gratitude of heart and generosity of spirit. We come not as passive spectators, but active witnesses and participants. To pray with them today, to celebrate with them, to share your joy with them."
"Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"

Father: "Her mother and I do."

Preacher: "Samantha and Jeff, we have gathered here today in this sacred space, and this space has become sacred because you are here today. The great Creator, who created this place, and this world in which we live, the spirit on God is present in all of His creations. God is present in the river. God is present in the sky. The kingdom of God is present in the fox, the wolf which run on this very ridge. And the wisdom of God is seen even now in the changing of the trees. The joy of God is reflected in the grasshopper that danced before you as you came up this ridge. And foremost, the image of God is imprinted upon your souls, and God is present in the heart of your being. When you sit and recognize, this is the love of your life, then you are recognizing the presence of God at the heart of her being, and his being. The vows you make today are sacred, because you are inviting God to unite you in your spirit and your souls. God is faithful, and your faithfulness to one another reflects God’s faithfulness to you. The laughter of God is reflected in your joy. The passion of God is reflected in your love for one another."
