GREETINGS
(front row seat)
Good afternoon, everyone! Thank you all for being here today to celebrate Chris and Meg’s big day. It’s not every day you get to witness two people so in love—and trust me, I’ve had front-row seats to this love story for a while now.
Selfies
Before we dive in, Chris and Meg have a small request. They’d love for you to take a quick selfie, send it to them, and then kindly put your phones away because they’ve hired a photographer to make sure we get plenty of pictures—good ones. So go ahead, snap those selfies!”
Thanks
(privilege, C meeting M)
“Alright, now that that’s out of the way, let me just say what a privilege it is to be standing here today. I’ve known Chris for a long time, and to be honest, I didn’t think I’d ever see the day where he would meet someone as incredible as Meg.
meg is TBTH, hand holding
For years, I’ve been telling him that Meg is the best thing to ever happen to him—and I’m pretty sure everyone here agrees. But I knew for sure it was special the first time I caught Chris holding Meg’s hand. I was so shocked to see him being that sweet, I had to take a picture for evidence! I mean, who knew Chris had it in him to be that romantic?”
all jokes aside
(Look,Laugh,Support)
Now, all jokes aside, Chris and Meg are one of those couples that just make sense. The way they look at each other, the way they laugh together, and most importantly, the way they support each other through the little things and the big things—it’s the kind of love we’re all lucky to witness
calm in his storm
Meg, your undying support for Chris is something truly remarkable. No matter what he’s going through, you’re always right there beside him, cheering him on, lifting him up, and making sure he knows he’s never alone. It’s clear that you are the calm in his storm and the partner he needs to keep pushing forward.
strength he leans on
You’ve shown him what true partnership means—being there not just in the easy moments, but in the challenging ones too. You have the strength that Chris leans on, and it’s beautiful to see how much love and care you pour into your relationship every day.
Chris’s work ethic
And Chris—what can I say? Your work ethic, especially when it comes to making Meg happy, is absolutely inspiring. I’ve seen you go above and beyond, time and time again, to ensure that she’s smiling, whether it’s through the big gestures or the small, thoughtful things you do every day.
Chris’s work ethic
ou are the kind of person who never stops striving to be better, and that shines through in the way you love Meg. You’re constantly putting in the effort to show her how much she means to you, and anyone who knows you can see how dedicated you are to making sure she feels supported, appreciated, and deeply loved. Your commitment to her happiness is something we can all admire.
together/ enough friends
(meg Support,Chirs Dedication)
Together, you both show us what it means to truly be there for someone—whether it’s Meg’s unwavering support or Chris’s tireless dedication to making her happy. You complement each other in the most perfect way, and to see that kind of love is a rare and special thing. And to see them surrounded by so many people who care about them—it’s no surprise really, but I have to say, I wasn’t sure Chris and Meg had enough friends to fill these seats! But look at this crowd—you all really came through!”
exchange of Vows
Alright, let’s get to the good part—the vows. Chris and Meg, the words you’re about to speak to each other are a promise of love, loyalty, and probably a lot of patience. But these promises also reflect the deep connection you’ve built together. So, Chris, please repeat after me:
Chris:
“I, Chris, take you, Meg, to be my wife.
I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health.
I will love you and stand by you all the days of my life.”
Meg, it’s your turn. Please repeat after me
Meg:
“I, Meg, take you, Chris, to be my husband.
I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health.
I will love you and stand by you all the days of my life.”
Exchange of Rings
Now, we come to the exchange of rings. These rings are a symbol of the love you’ve promised to each other—a circle with no end, just like your commitment to one another. Chris, as you place this ring on Meg’s finger, please repeat after me:”
Chris:
“Meg, with this ring, I give you my heart and my love, always.”
Then you’ll invite Meg to place the ring on Chris’ finger.
“Meg, as you place this ring on Chris’ finger, please repeat after me:”
