Marriage is the beginning of love and respect. This sample wedding ceremony speech contains wisdom and warm advice for a happy family.

 

Topic – Love Should Be Based on Equality and Fairness

In every house, there are several bowls in the kitchen. Some are big and beautiful, some are small and ugly. But housewives don’t throw away small and ugly bowls. Even simple and small bowls can be useful.
We must plant a little love in each other’s hearts and create a world where we live together in that love. There is no need for a husband to be superior to his wife in a couple. The same goes for wives. Love should be a feeling of liking, not a competition. We must really love each other. There is no need to love. We should not live with our husbands because we have to for our livelihood, but because we love them and want to be with them.
If we have a mind that thinks of each other and a mind that recognizes and loves each other, we can always feel the satisfaction of love and live happily. True love should be able to express its feelings naturally, without feeling a burden to each other. Expressing joy honestly gives a lot to the other person. Joy should come from the heart. The bride and groom must keep this promise throughout their marriage. Can you promise that?
Love is like spring water. Just as fresh water is collected by constantly drawing from a well, small acts of love, rather than occasional acts of great love, are transformed into refreshing love when they are consistently performed every day in everyday life. To love is to give and to share. The more you give, the more generous and abundant your heart becomes. Love your loved ones with true love. If you want to be loved, you must first love. Understand and care first. Also, love should be based on equality and fairness.
You should give everything you have to the person you love and be satisfied with each other as one. It should be enjoyed with someone who loves pleasure. Sharing and equal love is the most beautiful happiness given to human beings. What is shared between a married couple is not just material things.
A gentle word, a warm look, sharing sorrows and rejoicing together are also beautiful loves. Share the love that dwells in your hearts. The more you give, the more you receive. Do you understand?
Also, always be a couple that is awake with good thoughts. If a person does not make an effort to explore, he or she will become a snob, no matter who he or she is. The same is true in a couple’s relationship. If we do not work together to develop each other, our daily lives will be dull. If a couple shares the meaning of life, they can always improve their quality of life with the same attitude. A person who can speak beautifully is beautiful like everything else, and a person who weaves peace is bound to speak beautifully.
Speak kindly and earnestly to your spouse. Beautiful words make a wife more beautiful. Respect each other and look up to each other. Just as a husband’s work is important, a wife’s work should also shine. Understand the small household chores that are repeated day after day and do them with your wife. Please pat your wife on the back whenever you have the opportunity. My wife is not moved by things that are big, valuable, or flashy. She is happy with the warm love that never dries up, like spring water, even if it is small. This is the kindness and virtue that binds a couple together.
I am confident that if we just follow the little things I have asked you to do here today, we can do it for the rest of our lives. I congratulate you both on your marriage.

 

 

Theme: Love is accepting the good and the bad of the other person

Today, these two people have come to this place to promise before us that they will be happy together for the rest of their lives.
I would like to tell the bride and groom a story.
There was a mailman named John in a small town near San Francisco, USA. He had been delivering mail for 20 years, traveling 50 miles back and forth. Over the years, many things changed, but the road from the post office to the town was still covered in dust and dirt, with not a blade of grass in sight. “How long will I have to travel this desolate road? Will my life end like this, going back and forth for such a long distance? I always felt frustrated when I thought about it.
Then one day he was walking home after delivering the mail, feeling depressed, when he happened to pass a flower shop. He had a wonderful idea, so he went into the flower shop and bought a handful of flower seeds. And from the next day on, he carried those flower seeds with him and scattered them on his way to and from work. One day, two days, one month, two months, the work of sowing continued without a break.
After many years, Johann now hums a tune as he delivers the mail.
All kinds of flowers bloomed on both sides of the road he walked from early spring to late fall. The sight of him whistling while delivering mail was as beautiful as a watercolor painting. The many people who walked along the road also whistled happily. Like the postman in this story, we came into this world to play a role in making the barren environment in our lives blossom.
The bond between a married couple is a relationship that God has brought them together. A marriage bond is a relationship that is formed when two people promise each other, “I will live with you as a married couple in this world. Human beings cannot break the bonds that God has created. While dating is an illusion in which we see only the beautiful sides of each other, marriage is a realistic life in which we have to live with the shortcomings of our spouse and his or her family that we did not know about. How fragrant would marriage be if it were only a beautiful flower garden? However, there are moments in marriage when life is like a wasteland full of dust.
Just as there are shadows where there is light, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Don’t struggle with the wasteland that is your spouse’s shortcomings. Love is love that embraces both the strengths and weaknesses of the other person. Please live with the attitude of sowing and nurturing the seeds of flowers that will blossom in the lives of both of you. The fragrance of the flowers you will then create will spread beyond your home and into the world. I hope that you two will become soul mates, sowing the seeds of love not only in your own home, but also in the world.
I close the ceremony by wishing the bride and groom and all the guests happiness in their homes.

 

 

Theme – Love is the Refresher of Life

Congratulations on the marriage of the groom ○○○ and the bride ○○○.
I would also like to congratulate the parents of the bride and groom for raising them to be so beautiful and intelligent.
And I would like to thank the bride and groom’s relatives and guests for making today’s event so special.
Now they have become a married couple in front of all these people.
As far as I know, they have been in a relationship for a long time.
As I watched them, I thought to myself, “How can they stay in a relationship for so long and still treat each other with the same love and affection as when they first started? I wanted to know the secret of their relationship and share it with others.
As I watched them closely, I realized that they were not only lovers to each other, but also a source of refreshment in life.
They were always more concerned that the other was tired than that I was tired, and they tried to give each other refreshing energy like a cool breeze.
They drew strength from each other, and in the meantime they forgot their hardships.
In this way, they could devote themselves more to their work and let their love grow.
I am overjoyed to see that their love, which was so beautiful, has finally come to fruition today.
I believe that if you two continue to care for and respect each other as you have been doing, you will make an excellent couple.
I am sure that your future will always be filled with happiness.
Even if you face difficulties, I am sure you will overcome them together.
I hope that you will be a beautiful example for many people in love.
I will end my speech here.
Once again, congratulations on your marriage.

 

 

Topic – Marriage is about learning and sharing love

Hello everyone.
This year has already reached the middle of the year. It is already the last day of May.
Time flies, doesn’t it? It seems like just the other day we were eagerly awaiting spring, but now it seems like summer is just around the corner. It’s been quite warm, even muggy, for May.
I can see why the ancients compared the speed of time to the speed of an arrow.
Time runs away with an engine attached to its feet.
Perhaps the clocks of these two people who are starting a new life today are ticking faster than ever?
First of all, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. ○○○, who were married today. On behalf of the parents of both families, I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to all the guests who have taken the time to attend this wedding.
As the host has just introduced, the father of the groom and I are close friends.
We met a few days ago and had dinner together, and since the groom’s father asked me to keep my speech to five minutes without rambling, I will keep it as short as possible and just give the main points.
The groom, ○○○, who is the star of today, has many qualities that many women look for in a groom, such as being financially independent, physically fit, and having a clear mind and personality. She is a first-class bride that anyone would want to marry because she graduated from a good university, works hard in a solid company, and is recognized for her hard work.
The other main character today, the bride ○○○, is pretty to begin with. Of course, some people might say that she is pretty because she has done her bridal makeup well, but I saw her a few days ago when we had dinner together, and she was really pretty. And the character of the bride is so kind. She is pretty and kind, and she is also good at entertaining, so she lives well by making the most of her talents, and I would say that she is an impeccable first-class bride.
The first thing I would like to say to the first-class groom and first-class bride today is that they should live with the spirit of “I first” for the rest of their lives. If I want my husband to love me passionately, I should love him passionately first without thinking of anything else.
If a wife wants her husband to serve her parents with utmost devotion, she should first serve her father-in-law and mother-in-law with utmost devotion. The same goes for each other’s families. I want to give as little as a mouse and receive as much as an elephant, and I’m playing with my abacus beads in a petty way, so conflicts and quarrels arise between couples.
A mountain is something that cannot be moved, but if I approach the mountain myself, I can get close to it and be embraced by its bosom. The principle of relativity exists not only in Einstein’s world of physics, but also in our everyday lives.
Marriage is about learning and sharing love. We have grown up in different environments, so there will be differences. Instead of trying to teach each other about our differences, I hope we can understand and learn from each other. Thank you very much.

 

 

Theme – Completing love is taking care of each other

Today, in the presence of their families, relatives and guests, the groom ○○○ and the bride ○○○○ have vowed to become one as a married couple.
Today, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the parents of the bride and groom for raising them so well, and to the guests who have come to celebrate this blessed and joyful wedding and to bless them for the future.
Marriage is a sacred encounter in which a young man and a young woman meet, become husband and wife, love each other, create a single personality, and live together for a hundred years.
Now, this newly born couple will have many happy days ahead of them, and sometimes they will inevitably face difficulties.
There is a saying that when you go to sea you should pray once, when you go to war you should pray twice, and when you get married you should pray three times.
The bride and groom standing here today must have wished for happiness in their married life more than three times, if not more.
I, too, would like to make three requests from the bottom of my heart for the happiness of your marriage.
First, please be considerate of each other.
It is easy to have the expectation that the strengths of the other person will make you happy in the passion attracted by each other’s charms. However, it is not passion that completes love, but consideration for the other person.
The second requirement for the completion of love is to become each other’s managers.
A competent leader does not try to change the members of the company. They also do not try to correct the other person’s shortcomings, but use their strengths to increase productivity.
Today, learn to enjoy the bride and groom as they are, and don’t try to change them to suit yourself.
The third requirement for the completion of love is not the unity of mind and body of a couple, but the separation of mind and body. Do not forget this.
This is because we are all independent and individual beings, and we should recognize and respect the differences between us.
This is because a couple is clearly two different individuals with independent egos. Do not confuse your partner with yourself.
Don’t be childish and try to conform to me, but try to understand me and other opponents.
Please remember my three requests.
Finally, I would like to ask all of you, the guests, to join me in wishing the newlyweds happiness, health, wisdom and faith in the days ahead. I also wish the families of the bride and groom health and happiness, and I wish all of you good luck in all your endeavors. That concludes my remarks.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Topic – A short word of love will be a mysterious medicine

May is the queen of the season, when the greenish-yellow leaves whisper hope.
On such a good day, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the bride and groom and their families, who are standing at the starting line of a new life with the blessings of many people.
We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to all of our guests who have taken time out of their busy schedules to come and celebrate with us today.
The most beautiful sight of this moment is this couple who have come together in the name of love, the best word.
Since ancient times, it has been said that the union of a man and a woman is a three-life bond and a match made in heaven. That is how sacred and solemn a promise marriage is. As a minister, I would like to make a few requests to help you keep this solemn promise.
First, remember that marriage is about accepting each other’s differences and being considerate of each other.
You are different in appearance and in thought from the beginning. Marriage is about accepting that difference and harmonizing with it. Instead of expecting the other person to fill the gaps in me through marriage, I should first think about filling the gaps in the other person.
It is said that the way to build good relationships with people is very simple. It is not about what is different, but about what is the same. The same is true for couples.
In other words, love is about looking at the same place, caring for each other, respecting each other, trusting each other, sharing with each other, waiting for each other, encouraging each other, and wrapping each other in warmth.
Second, I hope you will consider good words as an elixir for building happiness in your family. It is not an exaggeration to say that a day begins and ends with words. A word can hurt someone’s feelings, and a word can drain someone’s energy. Conversely, a word can lift someone’s spirits and give them strength.
Good words make people feel good, and when people feel good, they are more likely to do well in whatever they do. It has been said that the secret of a successful family is to avoid gossip and to speak words often that emphasize each other’s strengths. Every word exchanged between two people tells a story about their lives. The same is true for married couples.
“I’m sorry. Thank you. “I love you. You did a good job.” These few words will be a mysterious elixir that will make each other happy and joyful. Whenever you have a hard time, give each other this love potion.
Third, dream big, but appreciate the little things. Sometimes there are problems that are difficult to solve and that stand like a barrier in life. At such times, the answer may be very close and in a small place. It is about thinking about the basics and the beginning.
If you often think back to the happy moments of your first day as a married couple and renew your mindset, there will be nothing you cannot solve.
In the meantime, I hope you will be grateful for the little things and give your best every day. Of course, there may be some shortages now. But you are still young and have plenty of time. Little pieces of joy that make you smile in your daily life accumulate and pile up and appear in the name of happiness.
In conclusion, I would like to congratulate them once again on their new beginning today and wish them all the best.
May you always be as happy as you are today.

 

 

Theme – Love is living together in harmony

Hello everyone.
I came up here to give a speech, but seeing the bride and groom so close to me, I can’t help but exclaim in amazement.
I would like to say one thing to the bride and groom here today. I want to ask them to love each other and live in harmony.
That’s a good point, but it’s something every student knows: If you study hard, you’ll become an honor student, or if you work hard, you’ll become rich.
Instead of telling them to love, I should teach them how to love.
The way I’m going to teach the bride and groom to love today is not the way I know or the way on my smart phone.
There is a saying that love is about living together.
Indeed, life is difficult and you may encounter times when you are angry and desperate.
I would like to say that the way to overcome this is patience.
The bride and groom face each other and call each other “darling. It may sound embarrassing now, but do you know the deep meaning behind it?
It means to think of your wife as a treasure and to follow your wishes, because of course I am your body.
If you agree with what I have said, I would like to ask you to give the bride and groom another round of applause with a prayer that they will live together peacefully and happily from today on.
The greatest advantage of the bride that we have seen so far is her smile and sweetness, which are similar to her mother’s.
The bride’s smile and gentleness will melt the groom’s heart and become the greatest strength for him to be loved.
Women are always told to treat the groom gently, softly, and kindly.
The groom must also be considerate. On cold winter days, it is natural to warm the inside of the blanket with a hair dryer. I’m sure you do this well now, but as you get older and enter menopause, your body will burn even in the dead of winter. If your wife is having a hard time, you should be able to go outside naked in the winter and freeze your body to the bone so that you can hug your wife and make her feel better. This kind of selfless thoughtfulness is what I’m talking about.
Only with this kind of thoughtfulness can you care for your neighbor and live a life as an exemplary Christian and a good husband and father who obeys God while being filial to your parents and in-laws.
I would like to ask the guests who are with us to once again shake their bodies and give a big round of applause for the bride and groom, in the sense that they also gave the same speech as I did.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Theme – Love is not selfish passion, but consideration for others

On this beautiful and sunny day in June, I would like to congratulate the groom ○○○ and the bride ○○○ who have come together through a precious relationship and are starting a new family, and I would also like to congratulate their parents who have raised them so well. And I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who took time out of your busy schedules to congratulate us on our wedding today.
In fact, I didn’t have much life experience, so I often wondered if it was right for me to be here, but the bride and groom were preparing for a new beginning, and they asked me to officiate so that they could take the first step toward living happily as a married couple, which gave me the courage to do so. I hope that all of you will always watch over the couple with encouraging words and loving eyes that can be a source of strength for them as they go through life.
I would also like to make three sincere requests for the happiness of your marriage.
The first request is Above all, be considerate of each other. It is easy to fall into the passion of each other’s charms with the expectation that the other person will make you happy. In other words, it is a selfish desire to benefit from the other person. But remember that love is not a selfish passion, but a consideration for the other person.
This is my second request. Live happily in this moment. Our mind is always running towards the past or the future in search of happiness. That is why we consider ourselves unhappy in the present. But true happiness is not in goals to be achieved in the distant future, but in the present moment. We should not make the mistake of chasing the lucky four-leaf clover and trampling on the everyday three-leaf clover. Learn to love each other as we are and enjoy the present.
This is my last request. Don’t forget that a married couple is not one mind, it’s two minds. The couple are different people. This is because we can only become one when we recognize that we are different from others, so we should recognize and respect the differences between ourselves and others.
There is an old saying, “Two fools living together are happy. The reason is that they say “I was not good enough” and “I’m sorry, please forgive me” in everything. In marriage, don’t be a smart person who tries to win over each other, but be a fool who lets the only person in this world win.
I would like to thank you for listening to my opinion, which is based on my lack of life experience, and I sincerely wish you both the best of luck in the future. Please remain as soul mates who support each other forever, even if this world makes you tired. Once again, I sincerely congratulate you both on your marriage.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Topic: To keep love for a long time, you need to respect each other

Hello everyone. I would like to share some of my life experiences with the bride and groom who are starting a new family with their in-laws. Today’s marriage is not a marriage between two families, but a marriage between two people who are getting married. Marriage is a life event that creates another new family. We should break away from the traditional family-centered concept of my daughter-in-law and my son-in-law and recognize them as new human relationships. In the case of the groom, he is not the son-in-law of the daughter’s parents, but her husband.
The most important thing is to respect each other’s existence. More specifically, the couple should share the housework. In general, women are instinctively delicate and men are rough, so women are forced to do the detailed housework and men are forced to do the housework. Women are bound to be good at cooking. The groom should think of finding and sharing the rough and hard housework on his own. If the wife has cooked, made side dishes, and set the table, it is natural for the husband to be in charge of washing the dishes, tidying up the room, and doing the laundry.
In previous generations, women took care of the housework as if it were a given. But now that women are also working in society, they should share the housework together. But when the housework is divided and the responsibilities are shared, it becomes too formal and obligatory, and the joy and happiness of marriage disappears. Housework should be shared. If the wife has prepared a meal, the husband should do the dishes afterward, and if there is a pile of laundry and the house is messy, the first person to see it can do it. Housework is not the responsibility of one person in particular. It is the joint work of the couple. Do not share housework out of obligation, but out of love.
Marriage begins with love, but with time we come to live with a love that is more beautiful than love itself. As this love grows stronger, love also sprouts like a bud. The two people who are getting married today should know that love is never eternal.
They love each other to the point of madness, but love has a magic that cannot be kept forever. To keep love for a long time, you have to build up affection. If you don’t feel affection, your love will cool down. The way to build affection is to share the burden of housework and have faith in each other. Love is shallow and short, while affection is deep and long. When affection deepens, love arises naturally. When you have deep affection for someone, you can understand his hatred. You will never be able to separate from them.
The bride and groom, who are now starting a new family, may they live healthy and happy lives. I sincerely congratulate you on your love marriage. I hope that this will be the first step for the benefit of my family and the society to which we belong. I wish all of you who have come as guests to celebrate this occasion health and happiness in your families. Thank you very much.

 

 

Theme – Love is endurance and mutual respect

At the beginning of the New Year 2025, we sincerely congratulate the bridegroom ○○○ and the bride ○○○ on their new beginning.
And on behalf of the families, we would like to thank all the guests who attended, despite their busy schedules.
When people talk about marriage, they always talk about love. Where did they meet and fall in love, how much do they love each other, and so on. Therefore, love is a natural prerequisite for marriage. Therefore, marriage is said to be a process of practicing love. However, in the true sense, practicing love is not so easy.
The Bible mentions eight other things besides “Love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, love does not behave unseemly, does not seek its own, is not easily provoked, does not reckon evil”. Even if they are true Christians, not many couples practice such love.
So what is the practice of true love?
Sometimes there are problems in a couple’s relationship. The same is true for true love. The reason is that we love ourselves. Everyone has probably had the experience of looking out the window of a train when they were young. You may remember seeing trees and scenery rushing by on the tracks. When you are focused on yourself, everything looks the opposite and you misunderstand things. A relationship between a couple practicing true love should naturally be selfless and centered on the other person.
It is said that love is a verb. Love is not an emotion, it is a concrete action. And this act creates change. The bride and groom who are getting married because they love each other must change and put away their old selves. They must change as son-in-law and daughter-in-law and as mother and father of a baby to be born in the future. Your lifestyle, attitude and habits must change. But I hope that only their love will remain the same forever.
A couple is infinitely near and far. Marriage is a promise between two loving men and women, and it is also the union of two families. For a marriage to work, there must be a strong fence between the two families. Therefore, the bride and groom must be interested in the major and minor events of the other family and be filial to the parents of both families.
Once again, I wish the new family that is starting today to grow like a luxuriant tree, and I will end my speech with a simple but heartfelt blessing.
Thank you very much.
