I call upon the North
And the Powers of Earth
Guardians of the Four Scared Directions
We ask you to join us and watch over us in these sacred rites.
We ask also, Great Lord and Lady, that you join us here. Bless this couple as they continue on this journey together.
We are gathered here on this most joyous occasion, to witness the union of Bride and Groom. Welcome beloved family and friends.
Marriage, is what brings us together today. That blessed arrangement. That dream within a dream. And love that will follow you forever.
Bride, do you desire to bind your hand and fortunes with this man til death do you part?
Bride: I do.
Groom, do you desire to bind your hand and fortunes with this woman til death do you part?
Groom: I do.
Please join your right hands.
May your paths be smooth
And the weather be fair
May your hearts fill with joy
And never a care
May your friends be many
And the good times last
And may you look fondly
Upon the past
May life be kind
And love be true
May many great blessings
Shine upon you
By the power vested in me, by the State of Oregon, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Good. You’re married. Kiss her.
