Frequently Asked Questions

Writing vows for a same-sex wedding can be both exciting and challenging.

To fight for us in the face of the storm, to be your joy and to dry your tears. Is it support, laughter, or adventure?

Try this: “Together, we are unstoppable” can be powerful. Now imagine finding a person who gives you all those feelings and more.

This vow compares love to music. Best friends can even be intimate, but not want to spend the rest of their lives together.

As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure, even past death. I think we’d all say our best friend, with benefits?? (Will you now please turn and face each other and hold hands, looking at each other.)

Ken, please repeat after me:

In the presence of our family and friends,
I Ken choose you Joe,
to be my husband,
to have and to hold from this day forward,
for better for worse,
for richer for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
in joy and in sorrow,
to love and to cherish,
and to be faithful to you alone.
This is my solemn vow.

Now Joe, please repeat after me:

What do officiants typically say during a same-sex wedding ceremony?

Officiants often speak about love, commitment, and the couple’s journey. It’s introducing them to your colleagues at a work event and basking in pride as they make people laugh and make you look lovable just by dint of being loved by them.

It’s laughing until you wheeze.

It’s waking up in a country neither of you have been in before.

It’s skinny-dipping at dawn.

I will support, honor, and cherish you through all the circumstances we may face, and I will never stop celebrating our love. When things get tough, you can use this vow to find your way back to what’s important.

It’s okay to mess up sometimes. Their strength? Welcome and introduction Welcome, family, friends and loved ones.

I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. The basic wedding template includes a welcome, reading, and the exchange of vows and rings. I won’t sing it, but here are some of the words that I think are just absolutely appropriate to Ken and Joe:

Darling you might think it’s too soon
But I can’t get you out of my head now
Picturing myself in your room
And I wanna be with you ‘til I’m dead now
I want your friends to be my friends
I’ll make you breakfast in your bed
I want it all with you
And if I’m coming on too strong
It’s ‘cause I’ve waited far too long
For someone just like you
I want a key to your house
I wanna pick up your clothes
I wanna clean up your mess
I wanna know where you hide things
Wanna be in your photos
Wanna share your address
I know, I know it feels like love
So lets shack up
I wanna share your address
I wanna be your emergency contact
You can put me down
‘Cause you know I know you best
It doesn’t matter where I go
Without you, I’ll never be home

THINGS IN COMMON

And so what do Ken and Joe have in common?

Think about special moments you’ve shared.

I promise to stand with you and hold your hands, even when we are old and grey. Keep your heart open and be ready to embrace it.

Love comes in many forms, so it’s important to recognize its power when it enters your life.
