(Processional music)
                              
Officiant:
     Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in this beautiful
     place to witness the joining of Dawn and David in
     marriage.
     
     They particularly wanted to invite you here because
     their sense of spirituality and the growth of their
     love is connected to this place.
     
     They've come here many afternoons like this one and
     walked quietly, enjoying the company of ducks, of each
     other, and of the variety of people who have come
     together to share this beauty.  It's given them a sense
     of joy and of peace, and a sense of connectedness to
     life.  And it is this that they wanted to share with
     you on the day of their wedding.
     
     A wedding ceremony is an outward form.  To be true, it
     must be a symbol of something inner and real: a sacred
     personal union which nature might mirror, a church
     solemnize, or a state declare legal, but which only
     love can create and mutual loyalty fulfill.
     
     To last, the marriage of these two must be a
     consecration of each to the other, and of both to the
     wider community of which they are a part.
     
     The first reading will be a poem by Juan Jiménez, read
     by Shirin Leclere.

                              (The rings are presented)
                              
Officiant:
     Rings are an ancient symbol, blessed and simple.  Round
     like the sun, like the eye, like arms that embrace.
     Circles, for love that is given comes back round again
     and again.  Therefore, may these symbols remind you
     that your love, like the sun, illumines; that your
     love, like the eye, must see clearly; and that your
     love, like arms that embrace, is a grace upon this
     world.
     
Groom:
     Dawn, with this ring I thee wed.
     
Bride:
     David, with this ring I thee wed.

     read by Mary McLean.

Officiant:
     David and Dawn have chosen each other from the many men
     and women of the earth, have declared their love and
     purpose before this gathering, and have made their
     pledge each to the other symbolized by the holding of
     hands and the giving and receiving of rings.
     Therefore, I declare that they are husband and wife.
     
     May they find here the good beginning of their married
     life and the fruitfulness of many years.

     I present Mr. and Mrs. Rose!
