In the manner of Friends, or Quakers, we will have a simple ceremony in a called meeting for worship in which we marry each other without a third party pronouncing us husband and wife.

After a welcome and explanation of the format, the meeting will begin with a time of shared worship, intentionally centering ourselves together in silence in the presence of the Divine. We will then stand, exchange vows and rings, and sign the marriage certificate, which will then be read aloud.

We will then move back into silence, and during this time, anyone who is moved to speak may offer words of blessing and/or share insights and memories. Although the silence may feel uncomfortable at times, it is a time for quiet contemplation and the joy of being together on this occasion. The meeting will end with the shaking of hands.

At the end of the ceremony, everyone present will be asked to sign the marriage certificate as witnesses to our union.
