Welcome to Gaia! ::

We are here today to witness and to celebrate the marriage of Kaze & Candy Land. Kaze & Candy Land have invited me to lead their wedding ceremony, and for that, I thank them. The words and form of the ceremony were determined by Kaze & Candy Land, and express their understanding of marriage and what they wish to say to their families, to their friends and to each other. We are gathered here in celebration with Kaze & Candy Land and to share the moment when a man and a woman join together in the bonds of love, honor, respect and responsibility -- into the unity that is marriage. Kaze & Candy Land, this is your day, your time, your celebration. Today you declare the love and commitment you have expressed to each other many times before. Today, each of you declares for the whole world to see, that this other person has that special primary place in you life that can only be given to one other. You are not children. We are concerned here with something more beautiful than just romance. You two have decided to make the journey through life together and to help each other make as much of it as two unique individuals can. Your families, who have given you life and sustenance, are here with you. Your friends are here, standing with you. Through all these people, you have become the two you are. All of them support you as you join your lives together into one.

For you, the families of the bride & groom, this is a special day in your lives as well. You have gathered to celebrate this joyous occasion with your children, but those children are no longer children. Those who look to you for love have become sources of new love. Kaze & Candy Land are accepting the responsibility of this marriage for themselves, to build together a life and tradition; as you, their families have prepared them. Their marriage will bring together your two families, drawing together the wisdom of many lives to build their own life.

The rest of you are special friends of Kaze & Candy Land, and you have become even more special by being here to share in this celebration. You have been as family with whom they have shared the good times and the bad times. The qualities of your friendship have enriched the quality of their lives. Now you will witness and confirm the uniqueness of their friendship and love for each other.

All of us here wish to give Kaze & Candy Land the gift of happiness. However, we are limited in our ability to provide such a gift. Happiness is the fulfillment that comes form building their marriage together. Marriage is more than words or ceremony. It is a commitment to be reaffirmed each and every day. Happiness is the product of contentment that each has the strength to accept in their lives what cannot be changed, and the love to change what can not be accepted. You can make your marriage a living thing. It will be you who begin every day making choices -- to express caring or avoiding it; to reveal love or to be too busy; to acknowledge respect and to take joy from one another or build walls -- and through those daily choices, to renew the wedding vows you will make today. It will be you, also who shapes what is possible for each other, allowing each other the space and the privacy to be unique individuals. When you follow the leading of your own personalities and talents, then each of you will have strength upon which both can depend. So it is that you come together, ready to give of yourselves and to accept each other, valuing each other's special gifts, prepared to work and to trust.

So, having considered alone and together this marriage, I now ask you, are you ready for your vows?

Do you, Candy Land, take Kaze to be your husband, promising to provide him with sustenance, to console him in sorrow, to strengthen him in weakness, to share with him your happiness, and to speak the truth to him out of your love?

Do you, Kaze, take Candy Land to be your wife, promising to provide her with sustenance, to console her in sorrow, to strengthen her in weakness, to share with her your happiness, and to speak the truth to her out of your love?

You have a ring for Candy Land? Would you put it on his finger and repeat after me: I, Kaze take you Candy Land to be my wife, and with this ring, I marry you and join my life to yours.

May the love that you feel and share today continue to grow deeper and stronger all the days of your lives, having declared yourselves to each other among your families and friends, you are now husband and wife.

*thanks elven*
*kisses Candy*
oh i got somethin for you
*reaches into his pocket and pulls out a golden locket*

*trumpets sound*
