Having found one another and established your relationship, you are here to sanctify it and give it special significance by celebrating in this holy place. This service is not magic. It will not create a relationship that does not already exist. Love is patient and is kind. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered.
Love keeps no record of wrongs.
It does not rejoice in evil, but delights only in the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. It is a high and lofty one, but the only one worthy of our efforts. I invite you now to state publicly your resolution to live out this kind of love.
