When directed, the couple removes the vows and reads them aloud, together. More information about our Message in a Bottle extra can be found on our Special Touches page.

As we build our life together.
May our lives be ever intertwined, our love keeping us together.

Full of respect and honor for others and each other,
May our home be forever filled with peace, happiness, and love.

 

 

 

Today as we stand by the ocean tide,
I am proud to pledge my commitment to you, my true best friend.
With great joy, I think about the new life ahead of us and all the love it will bring. I devote the rest of my life to you as a caring and faithful husband/wife.
