OFFICIANT TO GUESTS
Welcome friends and family! We are gathered here today to join (Partner A) and (Partner B) in marriage. These two are an incredible team, capable of pretty much anything when they tackle it together. Today, they’ve chosen to embark on a lifelong adventure of love.
As most of you know, (Partner A) and (Partner B) are big fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and its extraordinary examples of strength, protection, heroism, and love. It’s become a shared passion, something that they enjoy exploring together, whether it’s full cosplay at a convention or a fun night at home on the couch.
Marvel’s heroes are, for the most part, nothing like us ordinary people. And yet they’re deeply relatable, because we see ourselves in their stories of love, triumph, and adventure. (Partner A) and (Partner B) have stayed the course of love no matter the odds, supporting each other on days when it felt like every possible world was ending, and triumphing over life’s hurdles every day on the way to their happily ever after.
They stand here today not to save the world, but to make it a little better by choosing love and one another.
Like their heroes, Tony and Pepper, Wanda and Vision, Steve and Peggy, (Partner A) and (Partner B) have learned over the past (Number of Years) years that a relationship takes more than just love to last – one must also have choice. Our choices define us, and the choice to stay and fight for love always has to come first.
Like Ophelia said to Leopold – “At last, I get to make my own choices. And the first thing I choose… is you.”
OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE
(Partner A) and (Partner B), every day in marriage you must wake up and choose the other person. Love is beautiful, heart stopping, heart-wrenching – it makes us feel as though the world is spinning out of control in the best way. But it’s also hard work. Like every single romance in the Marvel Universe, there will always be obstacles in your way, and battles to fight, but your amazing bond is worth protecting, fighting for, choosing again and again.
(Partner A) and (Partner B), are you ready to choose each other in marriage, today and every day after?
COUPLE TO THE OFFICIANT: We are!
OFFICIANT TO THE COUPLE: Wonderful! Please turn to face each other and join hands.
OFFICIANT TO PARTNER A
(Partner A), please repeat after me:
I, (Partner A),
take you, (Partner B),
to be my (husband / wife / spouse),
to love and protect,
to fight beside,
on any planet and in any timeline,
in sickness and in health,
for the rest of my life…
or until the Blip.
I love you in every universe.
- PARTNER A REPEATS EACH LINE IN TURN, AFTER IT IS SPOKEN BY THE OFFICIANT.
OFFICIANT TO PARTNER B
Partner B, please repeat after me:
I, (Partner A),
take you, (Partner B),
to be my (husband / wife / spouse),
to love and protect,
to fight beside,
on any planet and in any timeline,
in sickness and in health,
for the rest of my life…
or until the Blip.
I love you in every universe.
