Handfasting Wedding Script
We are going to begin this ceremony, welcome everyone as we gather to celebrate the marriage of
P1 and P2.
P1 and P2 have gathered today before their family and friends to make a statement of their
commitment to each other and to their love. This is not the beginning, but a celebration of the next
chapter in their lives together.
Are you here voluntarily to get married?
P1: Response
P2: Response
This service is meant to unite two hearts and two lives to make them one.
First of all, congratulations for having decided to take this great step that involves joining your lives.
At this very moment you confirm to your loved ones that you have found in each other someone who
completes you and with whom it is worth spending the rest of your days.
I urge you to remember in front of these witnesses that love and loyalty are the basis for a lasting and
happy marriage.
As you know, you are about to establish a very serious bond, marriage is the promise between two
people who love each other, and who trust in that love, who honor each other as individuals, and who
choose to spend the rest of their lives together.
This ceremony will not create a relationship that does not already exist between you. It is a symbol of
how far you have come these past few years, it is a symbol of the promises you will make to each
other to continue growing stronger as individuals and as partners. No matter what challenges you
face, you now face them together, and no matter how much you succeed, you now succeed together.
The love between you joins you now as one.
P1 and P2, today you not only marry the right person, you commit to being the right partner—the one
with whom the other can stand and face the world.
P1 and P2, you have chosen to write your vows, and it is with these words you express your binding
promises to love, honor, and cherish one another. If you are ready to make these promises to each
other I invite you now to face each other and declare your intentions.
P1, when you're ready you may begin.
P2, when you're ready you may begin.
Thank you for sharing your vows with all of us. The rings you are about to place on each other's
fingers are symbols of the love you expressed. They will remind you of the vows you have just
spoken, and of the eternal love that you have for one another.
P1, place the ring on P2's finger and repeat after me.
“I, P1, give you this ring as a sign of my faithful devotion, as a symbol of our unbreakable bond. I will
always love you, cherish you, and honor the vows spoken here today.”
Now. P2, place the ring on P1's finger and repeat after me.
“I, P2 Kahal, give you this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love for you. I offer you all that I have, all
that I am, and all that I will be and I will honor the vows spoken here today.”
Handfasting ritual initiation
P2 and P1 have chosen a traditional ceremony that is the union of two souls that is materialized
through a tie of hands. This symbolizes the union of their individual lives.
P2 and P1 please show the guests the cord that will be the symbol of this beautiful union.
With the colors Black, Blue, gray and green that symbolize water so that your love will always flow,
the clouds so that your love can resist any storm, harmony and faithfulness that you will show each
other every day, and it is the representation of this new beginning that will be full of growth and
kindness.
This cord is a symbol of the connection between your two lives. Just as your hands are linked by this
cord, so your lives will also be linked in marriage.
TIE HANDS
These are the hands that will love you.
These are the hands that will love you.
These are the hands that will hold and comfort you through the years.
These are the hands that will give you support and encouragement.
These are the hands you will each work with, create with, and use to build a life together.
The knots of this binding are not formed by these cords but instead by your vows,
the promises you make in your hearts and uphold each day through your actions.
Remember, you hold in your own hands the making or breaking of this union.
That being said. P2. Do you take P1 to be your lawfully wedded partner, to have and to hold, in
sickness and in health, in good times and not-so-good times, for richer or poorer, committing yourself
unto them for as long as you both shall live?
Response:

as you both shall live?
Response:
