Island Wedding Ceremony
Today
is a day of celebration.
We are here, surrounded by incredible beauty to celebrate
life, love, and the beauty of relationships.
But more importantly we are here to celebrate the relationship
of two people who have come here to embark on an incredible
journey
and set sail for a wonderful life together. It is such a blessing that the two of you have found each
other in this world.
Your hearts met and through your relationship unfolded
vulnerable honesty, gentle caring,
and that amazing thing we call love, which has bonded
you for life
The beauty of this marriage is that you will always continue to learn together and teach each other, to open each other to explore new ideas, to share life and bring out the very best in one another. By being together your world becomes larger and your options more abundant than what would have been alone.
As we stand beside the ocean tide, may your love always be as constant and unchanging as these never ending waves, flowing endlessly from the depths of the sea.

The exchange of rings
Let these rings serve to remind you of vows you make here today. They are a symbol of wholeness, peace and completeness.

Wear them to tell each other and the whole world that you are in love with the very special person wearing the other one.

I, ( groom ), give you this ring ~ and I give you my heart.
May you feel surrounded by my love ~ each time you look at this ring.
With this ring, I thee wed
