NYC City Hall Style Wedding Ceremony
This is the text of the brief civil ceremony typically performed at the marriage bureaus in New York City. You are allowed to exchange rings, but not vows.
We are gathered here to celebrate the marriage of X and X.
If there is any one here who knows of any reason this couple can’t be legally married, speak now.
(insert custom reading and or/vows if you like)
X do you solemnly promise to love, honor and respect X for as long as you both shall live?
X do you solemnly promise to love, honor and respect X for as long as you both shall live?
As a symbol of your promise, please place your a ring on X’s finger
As a symbol of your promise, please place your a ring on X’s finger
In as much as you both have consented, by the power vested in me by the State of NY, I now pronounce you married! You may kiss!
As a registered NYC officiant, I can perform this simple ceremony for you AND photograph your small wedding.
