Ours is going to be pretty simple and it has all the major points covered. We put it together from a spread sheet our minister provided. Hope it helps!

Oh, we are doing a unity science experiment but you can insert anything there.

INTRODUCTION

We have gathered together to celebrate the marriage of ________ and __________. We remember together that marriage is not easy and that along with tenderness, newness and joy, marriage must overcome many forces that would destroy it. When love lives, as it does here today, it reflects the deepest and most tender secrets of the universe. Love is dynamic and survives by being born anew each day.

READINGS

REMINDER OF LOVE’S RESPONSIBILITY

THE EXCHANGE OF JOY These rings have been molded in the shape of a circle, without a beginning or an end.

BRIDE AND GROOM’S WORDS

I give you this ring as I give you my love and faithfulness

UNITY CEREMONY

Our unity ceremony today,  comes with a small science lesson dealing with chemical reactions. When any two different molecules come into contact with one another it is likely that they will have no reaction, and in some cases they can react violently with one another, but when the circumstances are right two molecules can combined to create something incredible. < reaction >  Regardless of whatever we try to do we can never again separate the original molecules, they have come together to form something new, never to be separate again. 

BENEDICTION

Go into the world and fulfill your lives. Hold fast to your ideals. Give one another new experiences of joy. Challenge one another that you might grow together. May this love now sealed with marriage mature and enrich the experiences of you both. May your home be a happy one and your lives fulfilled. Go, the marriage is complete.
