Inasmuch as you have sealed your vows in the presence of those gathered here by the giving of these rings and have consented together to live in marriage, it gives me much pleasure to pronounce that you are now...
@Daehyun *takes a deep breath as I pick up your ring and carefully slides it onto your finger*
Just as this circle is without end, *sniffs back tears* my love for you is never-ending. With this ring, I take you to be my partner for life. *tears start to fall silently down my face*
@Narsha *nods and takes the ring placed on cushion situated on top of the table*
*takes Narsha's hand and slowly slips the ring on her finger and cites after Gandhi*
Just as this circle is without end, *completely puts on the ring, looks up and stares back, smiling* my love for you is never-ending. With this ring, I take you to be my partner for...*smiles wider* life.
For thousands of years lovers have exchanged rings as a token of their vows. These simple gold bands are not of great value in and of themselves, but they are made quite precious by your wearing of them. Let these rings be a sign that love has a past, a present and a future, and that, despite its occasional sorrows, love is a circle of joyous wonder, and delight.
*looks at Daehyun*
Daehyun take Narsha's ring and place it on her finger and repeat after me:
Just as this circle is without end, my love for you is never-ending. With this ring, I take you to be my partner for life.
@Daehyun *smiles and gazes lovingly back into your eyes*
I Narsha take you, Daehyun to be my husband. I promise to live in truth with you, and I give you my hand and my heart as a sanctuary of warmth and peace, pledging you my love and devotion as I join my life to yours. *beams happily*
@Narsha *nods at Gandhi and turns to face Narsha; swallows*
I-I Daehyun take you, Narsha, to be my wife. I promise to live in truth with you, and I give you my hand and my heart as a sanctuary of warmth and peace, pledging you my love and devotion as I join my life to yours. *slowly grins*
We have gathered today in the love of friendship and family to celebrate the blending together of two lives. As Daehyun and Narsha come before you here today as two, they will leave this place as one, united in marriage. As family and friends, each of you has played some part in bringing them to this moment and in various ways will continue to support and contribute to their relationship. We solemnize this unique time in their lives and make it meaningful by entering into it in an attitude of respect for their deep commitment to each other.
Daehyun and Narsha, you realize that in a greater sense no other person or officiant can truly marry you. Only you can marry yourselves. By your commitment to love each other, and to work with all your hearts toward creating an atmosphere of care and respect, and by your willingness to face together the fears and uncertainty that underlie human life, you marry yourselves more surely than any document we will put our signatures on today. Your love for one another and your willingness to accept each others strength and frailties with understanding and consideration will form the foundation for a life together that will last.
A vast, unknown future stretches out before you. That future, with its hopes and disappointments, its joys and its sorrows, is hidden from your eyes. But it is a great tribute to your belief in each other that you are willing to face those uncertainties together. May the pure, simple love with which you join your hearts and hands today never fail, but grow only deeper and surer with every year you spend together.
@Narsha *leans again to whisper* cause I'm dae...dae bond *bites lip to stop myself from laughing at my own lame joke and tugs you to walk with me towards the makeshift altar*
