inviting family & friends to join a ceremony

Inviting family and friends to join in with the ceremony is a great way to enliven the energy amongst the guests.

People love to be involved especially when it is uplifting and filled with joy. One of the best ways to make this work is to verbally invite the guests to join in loudly and joyously in the refrain. For example:

Celebrant: They ask you, their closest friends and family, to support them in this commitment to their marriage. To help them work together, to laugh together, to raise a family and create a healthy life together.

They ask you to remember this day and if, in the years to come, this fades from their memories, they ask you to be their reminder.

To tell them that there is love here and that what they have is worth upholding.

Are you willing as their closest family and friends to support and uphold them not only today but in the many years to come? If so, would you please respond with a hearty 'we will'!

Guests: We will!

what celebrants say

"I have had the pleasure of stumbling across your site and was compelled to send you a message simply to say how truly inspiring you are Wendy. I am eagerly awaiting my AG accreditation which is due in the next couple of weeks. However, in all my researching and planning for my CMC role thus far, I've not come across any material or media that has met and further inspired my passion for embracing this new path until discovering wendyhaynes.com. It seems to me you arrange your words not unlike the most poetic and soulful musician might compose their innermost heartfelt piece of music. What a gift!" - Rebecca
