Full text of our wedding ceremony:
To all:
We are gathered together to witness and celebrate the marriage of [Stutefish] and [Himself].
This is the easy part.
At the end of this ceremony [Stutefish] and [Himself] will be legally married, but on each day that follows, they still must decide to renew the commitment they make today. That is the hard part.
Thankfully, they will have the help and love of their family and friends to support them and their commitment to one another.
I’m going to ask all of you now to make that promise, and I want you to answer, “We will.”
To guests:
Will you, their community, support and encourage [Stutefish] and [Himself] in keeping their commitments, promises and vows?
(Guests: We will)
Thank you.
To [Stutefish] :
Do you, [Stutefish] , choose [Himself], to be your partner, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; until death do you part?
([Stutefish] : I do)
Will you make whatever adjustments are necessary in order to fully share your lives? Will you parent his children in a spirit of compromise and love? Will you take his family as your family and welcome his friends as your own?
([Stutefish] : I will)
[Stutefish] : This ring is a symbol of my promises to you.

To couple:
[Stutefish] and [Himself], we have heard you promise to share your lives in marriage. We recognize and respect the commitment you have made.
It is not a judge standing before you that makes your marriage real, but the honesty and sincerity of what you have said and done here today.
Pronouncement of marriage: By the authority vested in me by the State of Illinois, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may now kiss one another.
