Darren and Jaime

I have wedding music, which I play gently in the background......you walk to me with your children....or to Darren with the children already there.....


Marriage is a promise, made in the hearts of two people who love each other, which takes a lifetime to fulfill. Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life's most important relationships. A wife and a husband are each other's lover, teacher, listener, critic, and best friend.

It is into this state that Jaime and Darren wish to enter, and create together a new family that includes their love of A, B,  and C....To celebrate this special bond I would like to invite the new family to perform a Sand Ceremony to signify that once joined, each of them remains as individual as a grain of sand, and yet once blended are inseparable for all time.

I place a layer of white sand to signify that Love has blessed this union and that Love is a basis upon which we build. Jaime and Darren, I ask you to add sand to signify yourselves and the bond of love that shall not be undone and which is the strength and foundation of this new family, Children, I ask you to add your sand to complete the family that once joined shall never be separated. I add the final layer to seal the bond that this new family has created. With love this bond is made.From this day forward they shall be a family whose strength is founded upon love, friendship, honor and trust.

Rings are a symbol of eternal love, they have no beginning and no end, and so  with the exchange of rings Jaime and Darren symbolise their eternal love.

with this ring..and before the gaze of our children...

I Darren take you Jaime to be my lawfully wedded
wife

 I vow to love you and care for
You, as long as we both shall live.

I take you, with all your faults and your strengths,
as I offer myself to you with my faults and my
strengths.

I will help you when you need help,
and I will turn to you when I need help.

I choose you as the person with whom I will spend my
life, completing our family with love and honour.
