A gifted officiant at a wedding can be deeply moving and meaningful to the bride and groom. In this article, we’ll help you create a warm and dignified message with examples of how to write one.

 

Sample wedding officiant, gift of the giver

Now, with your blessing, Mr. ○○○, the groom, and Ms. ○○○, the bride, will make their first greetings to the person they will take as their wife for life, and the person they will take as their husband for life, and the words of their vows will be read to them by the officiant, and the exchange of gifts for life will solemnly declare before you that their marriage has been fully consummated.
In the presence of your elders, seniors, and friends, you have now entered into the holiest and most deliberate of covenants. Your marriage is one of the most solemn and important, and one that will most intimately and intimately involve and deeply affect your lives.
Marriage is designed to sanctify human affection and to bring a man and a woman together to live a common life, to help each other and to give themselves completely and unreservedly to each other; in other words, self-sacrificing love is absolutely required.
Now you two are so full of joy that you are thinking only of happiness, but you know from the practical experience of the seniors here that in the future there will surely be a mixture of hope and despair, success and failure, pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow. In fact, human life is a mixture of these elements, and it is wise for you two to be prepared for this. The only way to do this is to receive all things together, to bear all things together, to endure all things together.
There should be no grumbling where there is one flesh, and as my spouse’s joy is my joy, and his misery is my misery, I must enjoy it together and bear it together. The beauty of conjugal life lies in this: the performance of this solemn duty is the sacrifice of oneself. It is not imposed upon you by anyone, but arises from your own free will, so that you must sacrifice everything for the good of your common life, the home, leaving aside your own small feelings and interests. As a result, whatever sacrifices may be required, you will bravely overcome many difficulties in defense of the home.
But sacrifice is a difficult and troublesome thing; only love makes it easy and sweet; therefore, when love is perfect, sacrifice is also perfect. There is no greater blessing than if you both preserve your conjugal love in purity and sincerity to the end; then, with this love, you should go forward today with both hands and hearts, and cultivate and grow it into a deeper and stronger love with each passing year, without losing anything along the way.
And if you are sincere and perfect in the spirit of self-sacrifice in all things, your future will be assured, and you will enjoy all the happiness that is possible in this bewildering world; and God’s blessing will be upon you, and all your elders and relatives will extend to you all their friendship.
May you have a happy family and many children, and may your children be children who can contribute to the country and human society.
This concludes the officiant.

 

 

Wedding Gifts Officiant Manuscript

‘Tis the season of verdant passion.
On behalf of the bride and groom and their guests, who have traveled a long way to celebrate the unity of two good men and women, I would like to congratulate you as you embark on your new life as husband and wife in this vibrant season.
Also, to the stepparents, thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into raising your children, and congratulations.
It has long been said that marriage is the joining of two imperfect people together. Someone once said, “Marriage is a rough sea that no compass has ever charted,” and I think they were speaking from experience that marriage is not always as sweet as you think it is.
So the people who officiate at weddings have a lot to say from experience.
They even give a lot of ‘don’ts’ for a smooth family life, starting with ‘A husband and wife are two different people’.
This is because problems between couples often start with one party saying or doing something they shouldn’t, or being asked or promised not to do by the other.
I’d like to take this opportunity to make a brief plea to two people who are starting a new life together.
I want you to be a couple where each of you says “don’t” to yourself and “good job” to the other.
If your home is filled with sincere words of praise, such as “Good job” and “You can do better,” rather than “Why did you do that?” and “Don’t do that again,” you will surely see rich and fruitful results.
You may already know the phrase “praise makes the whale dance,” but we hope you’re practicing it in your daily life.
Today, as Mr. ○○○ and Ms. ○○○ start their new life as a married couple, I would like to say a few words on their behalf to remind them not to say “don’t” to each other.
If you think twice about what you say, there will be no quarrels and all conversations will be amicable. Please keep these words in mind and enjoy your new life as a couple.
Thank you.

 

 

Sample wedding officiant script

Good morning, everyone, and on behalf of the bride and groom and their guests, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to a good man and woman on their holy union, and thank you for coming to celebrate their union.
Marriage is about two becoming one, and a wedding is a holy ceremony in which two separate entities solemnly vow before candlelight to fuse together and become one. Standing here now, you are two, but you are becoming one flesh, one heart, one mind, one body. Be grateful to each other that you now have a partner to share all the joys and difficulties with, with patience and courage, as a member of one body, not you and me, but us.
Marriage is a garden where you become the other person, where you become the whole you. It’s also a stamp where you accept the ‘you’ and complete the ‘me’. It’s only when I become you that we become one flesh. There is a custom in Israeli weddings where the bride and groom throw a glass in front of the officiant to break it.
It’s said to be a pledge to smash the “old me” and be born as the “new me.” So let’s switch roles every once in a while so that I can be you. In the process, a new sense of gratitude and love will emerge that will fill the home with fragrance and song. Here we have a bride and groom, hand in hand, going out to sow seeds in the field called life.
Let’s give them a round of applause for their courageous decision to farm life. It takes more than just sunny spring weather for the seeds you sow to sprout and bear fruit. It takes the scorching summer sun, rain and wind, and even hail and thunderstorms. There will be sorrow as well as joy, frustration as well as elation, failure as well as achievement, just as there is the moon alongside the sun in the middle of the day, yang and yin exist together, and yin needs yang.
Marriage is a “ferryboat” that carries a woman and a man and rows them to God. Now, get ready to board the ferry. I wish you a life of smiles and laughter, filled with the fullness of love.
May you remember that there is no reason for love, that you should love unconditionally, and may peace and happiness accompany you throughout your lives.

 

 

Sample wedding officiant toast

Good morning, everyone. It is the queen of the seasons, the month of May, and with the sunlight pouring through every leaf, we are gathered here to celebrate two young people. Today is a beautiful day when two lives are being joined into one. As the bride and groom, in the most glorious season of their lives, pledge their love and future to each other in front of their loved ones and friends, I stand before you to give a short speech, as the senior in their lives, to two young people who are just beginning to find their words.
The two young people before me may have run in a straight line to this day, sprinting with one goal in mind: success, and winning each other’s hearts with passionate love. But starting today, you must learn to cut and wear yourself down. You must learn to adapt to each other rather than insisting on your own, because the life that begins today is never yours alone, but something that you will build and complete together.
The journey of life that lies ahead of you is not a race to reach the destination in the shortest amount of time. It’s more like a marathon where the process is more beautiful than the outcome. I encourage you to live life in a roundabout way, in sync with each other, in sync with each other’s breathing, in sync with each other’s feet.
Remember that curves are more beautiful than straight lines. If straight lines are the love of a young person who wears his feelings on his sleeve, curves are the love that embraces, the love that is tender.A couple is the closest and truest relationship, but they should always remember to be gentle and respectful in their dealings with each other. The gentle path is often more beautiful.
Although you are exchanging beautiful smiles and standing with full hearts now, the life ahead of you is longer than you think. Some of those days will be windy and cold, and some of them will be dark with sadness and frustration. Through it all, I wish you two to grow and deepen in your everlasting love.I conclude my remarks with my heartfelt best wishes to the young couple as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. Ladies and gentlemen, please give the bride and groom a hearty round of applause.

 

 

Wedding officiant congratulatory message

On behalf of the couple, I would like to begin by thanking you, the guests, for braving the construction work to come to this wedding on this beautiful day. I would also like to thank the couple’s parents for giving birth to them, for raising them and teaching them, and I wish them all the happiness in their new life together.
The bride and groom have been taught by their loving parents, so there is nothing more I can add to the officiant’s remarks, but I would like to interrupt the officiant’s remarks by saying a few things that I would like to say as an alumnus who met the bride and groom while they were studying together, as a professor in their doctoral program, and as a senior in their lives.
The word respect means to honor the person, ideas, and deeds of another person, so I hope that you two will not say hurtful things to each other in your lives, will not demean each other, and will use honorifics even if you are married.
Second, we want them to think positively and create a joyful life. As our predecessors have experienced, the bride and groom will face many difficulties and sad things in their lives, and there are two ways to deal with these bad things: negative and positive thinking and behavior, and the way they choose to deal with them will make the outcome of their lives very different. Therefore, I hope that the bride and groom will deal with everything with the latter type of positive thinking, and in the process, make their lives more enjoyable.
Third, since they both majored in marketing in their master’s and doctoral programs, I would tell them to market to each other. Marketing is an activity of understanding, predicting, and fulfilling the needs of the other party, and if the two of you strive to satisfy each other from a marketer’s perspective, it will improve your relationship with each other, as well as your relationship with your parents, siblings, and relatives, and it will be an eternal companion, so I would like to ask you to fully play the role of a family marketer. In particular, there are cultural differences between the bride and groom as well as the two families, so I hope that you will understand the cultural background that the other party has acquired over the years and complement each other’s differences well.
Lastly, I would like to say that you should always remember the grace of your parents who have raised you and supported you until today, and I hope that you will continue to maintain the friendship between your siblings and become a family that can contribute a lot to your relatives and society. With these words in mind, I hope that you will strive to keep your affection for each other forever, so that there will always be peace and happiness in your home. I also ask all of you, the guests, to watch over this family as they start a new life and take warm care of them when they are in need, and I sincerely hope that your blessings will always be with them.
I’d like to conclude my officiant’s remarks with a few simple words.

 

 

A message from the wedding officiant

First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. ○○○ and Ms. ○○○ on their wedding ceremony, which is being held today in such a sunny weather.
The marriage of these two is exactly what the Korean marriage tradition says, “The heavens have joined them,” or as Buddhists say, “the bond of three generations.
Most people need to have a resting place for their bodies and minds. Just as birds need a nest, humans almost absolutely need a home, and the institution of “marriage” provides this resting place.
Moreover, if love is the highest form of humanity, then marriage is united to the true duty of love.
When we think about the relationship between people and marriage and family in this way, people are at the heart of marriage and family.
Most people, like you and me, want to have a new happiness through marriage and live happily ever after. However, not all people who get married achieve and enjoy happiness.
Just as there are no perfect human beings, there are no perfect marriages. Marriage is not a union of two perfect people, but rather a creative life process that comes from two imperfect people adapting and working together to make their marriage work.
Many people who are unhappy in their marriages have married because they fell in love against the other person’s strengths or virtues – in other words, they fell in love blindly, temporarily, and self-righteously.
Love must be at the heart of marriage and family because love is not the discovery of the other’s virtues and attachment to them alone, but the understanding, cooperation, complementarity, and reward and pleasure that comes from that commitment to those deficiencies.
A marriage is two rails. Stretched side by side, the two rails must stay in place and fulfill their respective roles in order for the train running on them to arrive safely at its destination without vibrating or derailing.
Married couples become more like each other over the years.
It’s a funny phenomenon that couples who talk a lot and have a lot of understanding and respect for each other quickly become more alike – and not just in thought and behavior, but in appearance. I hope that the two of you who are getting married today will pick up on the good things about each other and become more like each other.
Finally, I wish you two, who stand here today, to be a happy couple with a common goal in life and a pleasant family life, who know the joy of the richness of the spiritual world rather than material things, and who have a positive outlook on life, and may God’s blessings always be with you as you start a new life.

 

 

Writing a manuscript for the officiant

Mr. ○○○, the groom, and Ms. ○○○, the bride, have exchanged their wedding vows here today with the blessings of their parents and guests, and with the pronouncement of the officiant, they are now man and wife.
Congratulations to you both on your marriage, and congratulations to your adoptive parents for all the hard work you’ve put into raising and educating you both. And thank you, as the officiant of this ceremony, for taking time out of your busy schedule to celebrate the marriage of the bride and groom.
Everyone! The couple in this wedding is very beautiful, and I am very excited to officiate at the union of this beautiful couple, because, like the bride and groom, I am officiating for the first time today, and I am even more excited because this first time officiating is the marriage of a lovely student. I was Ms. ○○○’s high school music teacher, so I thought I’d share a musical story with you.
The important elements of music are chords and harmonies. When sounds of different pitches sound at the same time, it’s called a chord, and when those chords come together, it’s called harmony. I think of marriage as a chord and harmony. When two people with different upbringings and different ideas come together to form a family, they create a sound! That’s a chord. There are different kinds of chords, some that work well together and some that don’t work well together. Just like we have good days and bad days in our lives, but in music, you can’t make great, quality music with just chords that work well together.
It’s the occasional dissonance that makes the whole music better, just like you need spicy chilies or peppers to make a delicious dish, but you don’t want those dissonant chilies or peppers clumped together in the dish, do you? In music, the occasional dissonance sounds great to our ears when it’s resolved into harmony instead of remaining dissonant. This kind of harmonious connection between dissonance and harmony is called harmony.
If marriage is a chord, then marriage is harmony. We hope that Mr. and Mrs. ○○○ and Ms. ○○○ will create a harmony that works well together throughout their lives, and we hope that they will consider the occasional dissonance caused by life’s bumps in the road as life’s stimulus, and that they will work it out together to continue to create a good harmony.
Now, let us encourage the music of life created by Mr. ○○○ and Ms. ○○○ with a hearty round of applause so that it may become music that moves us with good harmony.

 

 

Sample wedding officiant text

With the blessings of your parents and guests, you have exchanged your wedding vows and the officiant has pronounced your marriage, and you are now one man and one wife. I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to you both on your marriage, and to your parents, who have carefully nurtured and taught you both to reach this point in your lives. And on behalf of your parents, I’d like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and celebrate your marriage.
Both the bride and groom were born into a good family and received a good upbringing, so I believe that they will have a happy and exemplary marriage, but as the officiant of the day and as a person who has lived in the world for a few more decades, I would like to say a few words of advice.
We all want to live happily and comfortably. Nobody wants to be unhappy, but this happiness is not something that is handed to you, it’s not something that your parents can make for you, it’s not something that you can buy, it’s not something that you can pay for, it’s something that you have to work together to create.
For the two of you to live happily ever after in your new family, you must first and foremost have a true and abiding love. Just as air is essential for us to breathe and live, true and unwavering love is absolutely essential for married couples. To achieve this, I think there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, it comes down to how you perceive your partner. You shouldn’t see the other person as an object to be used or a burden to be taken care of, but as a partner to help each other through life. A man has the strengths and weaknesses of being a man, and a woman has the strengths and weaknesses of being a woman. You should combine your strengths and weaknesses, help and complement each other’s weaknesses, and live together as a supportive partner.
Secondly, you should accept each other as you are, not only now, but also in the future. Currently, you are married because you have accepted each other as you are. You have accepted each other’s physical condition, humanity, family environment, property status, social status, and prospects as they are. However, these conditions may change slightly as the years go by and you grow older and older. For true and lasting love between a couple, they must accept each other as they are throughout their lives, even if some things change.
Third, you must strive to become the same as each other: your priorities, values, and outlook on life should be similar or the same. You should even have the same taste in food. To do this, you must let go of your own prejudices and stubbornness and adapt yourself to the other person.
I believe that if you two can keep these three points in mind throughout your life: recognizing each other as a helping hand, always accepting each other as they are, striving to live in mental unity of love, and understanding and forgiving each other with the spirit of thinking differently, you will be able to maintain your true and unchanging love. As you embark on your new life together, I hope you will keep these points in mind and build a happy and exemplary family.

Season’s Greetings from your wedding officiant

Good morning, everyone!
As the days are getting warmer, the world seems to be filled with flowers of fine colors.
You only need to open your eyes to realize what a beautiful season May is, and all you see is a beautiful view of hot springs everywhere.
Forsythia hanging waist-deep from every school fence, magnolias standing tall and bursting with white, pale peaks, and cherry blossoms that look like large bouquets on a single tree, catch your eye every time you turn your head. Even the roadside florists have colorful blooms.
Perhaps spring is named for the beautiful flowers that bloom all around us.
It’s a season that’s all the more beautiful for being so short. Why not send spring flowers to someone you love or appreciate and let them know how much you care?
Today, we have two people who deserve spring flowers. First of all, I’d like to say thank you on behalf of both of us for coming out to celebrate their marriage.
There are a few things I’d like to say to the bride and groom.
First, you two need to have a deep insight into why you are getting married. A lot of people get married to be happy, but the reality is that not many people actually live happily ever after. There are so many couples who get married because they can’t live without you, and then they say they can’t live without you.
Why? Because they’re trying to fulfill their own needs through marriage, forgetting the simple truth that marriage is a two-person affair, not a one-person affair. If only one person is trying to fulfill their own needs, what does that make their spouse? Marriage is about serving, not enjoying.
Helping spouses are called helpmeets in English, which is made up of the words help to help and meet to meet. In other words, a couple meets and marries to help each other. A helping spouse is someone who exists to fill the other’s needs.
Finally, marriage is a rebirth from individual personhood to conjugal personhood, which is called union. It’s about not asserting yourself; it’s about having the idea that once you’re married, it’s no longer me and you, it’s us; it’s about having the idea that while I insist on doing things the way I like to do them, the food I like to eat, the habits that are familiar to me, my spouse has to let go of his or her own opinions; it’s about reinventing our way out of my way, your way; it’s about choosing to give up on me and boldly do things that I don’t like, that I’m not good at, if it’s good for our couple, if it’s good for our home.
May you both enjoy the intimacy that only a married couple can have through marriage, may you have the joy of being a supportive spouse, and may you be the heirs to a great family through the birth and raising of children. Thank you.

 

 

Manuscript of the wedding officiant

Thank you very much, guests, for joining us today to celebrate the future of a couple who stand at the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
The bride and groom are very pretty today, aren’t they? I think they are probably the happiest couple in the world today, and I hope they are.
Today I would like to wish them a happy and bright tomorrow, but first I would like to address my parents.
We must abandon the outdated notions of the traditional patrimonial and family system. Today’s marriages are not between families, they are between people.
Marriage is a life event that creates a new family, so we should recognize it as a new relationship, not a traditional familism of “my daughter-in-law,” “my son-in-law,” etc. For the groom, as a parent of a daughter, you should recognize him as her husband, not as a son-in-law. In other words, don’t see him as part of your family, but as an independent entity.
So you should call your son-in-law by his real name instead of calling him Kim Seo-bang, Lee Seo-bang, or Park Seo-bang, which was called in the era of familyism. This is the era of calling names. And the bride, as a parent of a son, you should recognize her as your son’s wife, not your daughter-in-law.
The bride is not a daughter-in-law, but a daughter. The groom is not a son-in-law, he is a son. So naturally, from the groom’s point of view, the bride’s parents are not my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they are my parents. And the bride’s parents are not my parents-in-law, they are my parents.
To the parties to the marriage.
You should share the household labor. Generally speaking, women are naturally delicate and men are rough, so it’s inevitable that women will be good at fine housework and men will be bad at housework, so women should be good at cooking food. Then the groom should have the idea of finding and sharing the rough and tough housework himself. If the wife cooks the rice, makes the side dishes, and sets the table, the husband should be in charge of washing the dishes, cleaning the room, and doing the laundry. Household labor is not anyone’s job; it’s a joint effort. Never divide household chores out of obligation, but out of love.
Marriage is based on love, but as the years go by, it becomes more beautiful than love.
When that love is renewed, love will sprout again like a new bud. Two people getting married today should know that love never lasts forever.
You may be madly in love now, but love has a magic that can’t last forever.
To make love last, you need to build rapport. If you don’t, your love will fade. The way to build affection is to share household chores and have faith in each other. Love is shallow and short-lived; affection is deep and lasting. When love is deep, love is born out of it. If it’s deep, you can understand hate. You will never get divorced. Divorce destroys the family, which destroys society, which destroys the foundation of the country. Therefore, you must be a family member who thinks about the home, family, society, and country before you think about yourself.
I hope that you will keep in mind what I said to your parents today and what I said to the wedding party, so that you can become a good couple and a good family.
Now, bride and groom, who are about to start a new family, I wish you health and happiness, and I wish you a life that is beneficial to your family and to this society to which we belong.
