Re: i now pronounce you....
Our pronouncement was:
"We ask that their days be long, and be seasoned with love, understanding, and respect. And may all of us be blessed by love as it shines through them all of their lives. It is now with great pleasure that I pronounce you spouses for life.
You may kiss. Will the guests please rise and welcome the new couple."
Neither of us are changing our names (for now at least) so we had to go with something vague for the end, "new couple", you don't have the problem. I liked "spouses for life".
Then we discussed "wife and wife", but we both thought that just sounded weird. Maybe it worked for some, but it just wasn't us.
We finally opted for "married" since that is what we were and had waited 15 years to do!
Now that you Allison, and you, Beth, have promised to give yourselves to one another and to love each other through your sacred vows and through the giving and receiving of these rings, In the eyes of God, and all those present I now pronounce you wives.
After 9 years of being "partners," I definitely wanted to hear that we were now really married!
