In this blog post, we will introduce various examples of officiants’ speeches that deepen the meaning of the wedding and share the power of sincere words.
Wedding officiant’s speech Message
First of all, I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the groom, ○○○, and the bride, ○○○, on their marriage. I would also like to congratulate both families for their efforts to bring the two together as a family. I would also like to thank all the guests who have come to congratulate the couple on behalf of the bride and groom.
Now, the bride and groom have solemnly sworn to live as a married couple for the rest of their lives, understanding each other with sincerity and with your blessings. On this joyous occasion, I would like to reflect on two old Korean folktales.
There is a fish that lives in the water. It is a fish with only one eye. This fish cannot swim freely until it meets another fish with only one eye. Today, the bride and groom have found the other eye that they have been living with only one eye. That is why life begins in a new paradise where the two of them live together, not as the person who has been living alone.
I won’t talk about many things today, but I will recommend a few things to the bride and groom. I know that the groom has already played many difficult roles under his wonderful parents at home. Even though the family is small, you will now realize how difficult it is to run a business in a sense. The family is the only unit that governs the family, achieves harmony, and gathers various practical benefits.
You will now come to realize that this family is more difficult than any other group, and that it is larger and more precious than any other group. The same is true for brides. Marriage is now not one, but two. No, it is a process of two becoming one. So the stage of a family with a husband is no longer something that can be achieved with one’s own talents alone. I truly hope that you will endure and persevere and play the true life of a family. Now, the bride and groom will be plunged into harsh reality as soon as today’s grand and glamorous wedding is over.
Marriage is like sweeping the dust with a broom. The dust will keep coming back no matter how much we try to brush it away. No matter how hard we try to sweep it away, the dust will always pile up. Now, after these glamorous weddings, the struggle with dust begins. Dust called boredom, or inertia, and the dust of repeated daily routines called habits that occur in our lives may threaten this clear, clean, and brilliant place today.
As the officiant, I would like to ask you all to remember the beauty and blessings of today and live in a new and fresh way forever.
I would like to ask you all again to show affection and interest in the couple so that they can live a life that is an example to others and be the envy of others. Thank you.
Sample of a wedding officiant’s speech message
Hello, everyone. I’m here to give a speech, and seeing this beautiful and wonderful bride and groom up close, I can’t help but exclaim in amazement. If I’m not mistaken, I would like to ask you to give a big round of applause as a sign of your blessing for this art-like bride and groom.
I thought I would never get to be in this position because I’m not very good at speaking and my pronunciation isn’t great. But one day, these two good-looking people who grew up being scolded by me as a notorious troublemaker came to me and asked me to be the officiant. I strongly declined, saying that there are many better people than me, but they insisted that they wouldn’t get married unless I officiated, so I had no choice but to accept this honorary position. “You have stood.
“This is a request for the bride and groom to love each other and live together. ”That’s right, but this is something that even elementary school students know, like if you study hard, you’ll be an honor student, or if you work hard, you’ll be rich.
I should teach them how to love, rather than just tell them to love. Of course, there are dozens of ways to love, which can be found by searching on the groom’s smartphone. Do what they want to eat, buy what they want, praise them, hold them, hold their hands, etc. The way I love the bride and groom today is not the way I know or the way on the smartphone.
Indeed, life is difficult and we can encounter times when we are angry and distressed. As a senior in life and faith, I would like to say that the way to overcome this is the way of patience that God has taught us, which is the best way.
Even if you have a disagreement late at night, you should be patient with each other and live happily ever after. The bride and groom should look at each other and call each other “honey” and “darling.” When you say “honey” and “darling,” it may sound a little creepy now, but you know what it means, right? What does “honey” mean when the groom calls the bride? It means to think of your wife like a treasure. What does your wife call her husband? It hides the deep meaning of following your will.
If you agree with what I said, I ask you to give the bride and groom a big round of applause again with a prayer that they live together peacefully and harmoniously, putting up with each other.
I ask you to give the bride and groom a big round of applause with a prayer of blessing once again.
Thank you.
Wedding Gift Presenter Example Message
Spring has already arrived amidst the fluttering wings and chirping of all kinds of birds.
The magnolia tree is also taking its last stretch to bloom. On this fine spring afternoon, I would like to thank all of you who have come to bless and witness the marriage of these two people, putting aside all your other good events and appointments.
Please continue to help the two of them have a happy marriage, and worry with them when they are having a hard time and enjoy with them when they are having a good time.
A while ago, an international research institute surveyed people to find out at what age they are happiest. Surprisingly, people were found to be happiest in their early 70s. Isn’t that really surprising?
Of course, Korea is not yet ready for this because of the social and institutional conditions, so it may be an exception. However, most developed countries have come up with unexpected research results that say, “People are happiest in their early 70s.” When I heard this news, I thought, “Oh, I have plenty of time to be happy.”
Take advantage of this ample time we have and enjoy happiness without giving it up to others. That is the way to be of help to your friends. Only when I am happy and spread the “happiness virus” will the happiness levels of my neighbors and friends naturally increase.
I’ve been married for 30 years. I met with the bride and groom and my wife a few days ago. As you may have heard, in a few days it will be my 30th wedding anniversary. In the meantime, I’ve been living an ordinary married life, not particularly different from others.
Like everyone else, I had my own set of difficult circumstances and my personality had many flaws, but I did a few things well and I think I managed to lead a relatively smooth married life for the past 30 years, so I would like to give this advice with caution.
Starting today, please change the way you address each other to “honey, you.” It is the basis of life to call things by their proper names. And it is the famous Confucius’ “Zhen Ming Lun.” And as a couple, please observe the rules of courtesy and use honorifics when addressing each other.
You will soon find out how difficult a relationship between a couple is. Do not take it too easy. Please keep the promises you make to each other. Finally, there is one most important thing.
Share the housework fairly. Find what each of you is good at and divide it up in an appropriate way. No matter how busy one person is, no matter how much they work outside or how much money they make, do not do no housework at all. Do not think that it is too harsh to discuss this between couples, but do divide it up in a reasonable way.
Once again, I congratulate the two of you on your marriage and wish you both the best of luck in your future. I would also like to thank everyone who has joined us here today. I would also like to congratulate and thank the parents of the bride and groom for raising the two of them so well. Thank you.
Wedding officiant Sample wedding officiant’s speech
First of all, I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to the groom, ○○○, and the bride, ○○○, on their marriage.
Now, the two of you have become a married couple in front of many people.
I’m sure there were many difficult things that happened before you came to this place, with the blessings of your parents and the many guests here.
There must have been many disagreements, and you may have been disappointed in each other and sometimes even regretted it.
What I want to say to the bride and groom today is about
“wise mindset” to deal with these conflicts.
Many people prioritize “speaking” over “listening” and
want others to follow them rather than follow them.
This naturally leads to misunderstandings.
So, how can we understand each other better?
If you know how to listen to others rather than talking, and if you follow others rather than following me, you will naturally be able to understand each other. It will not be as easy as it sounds. Sometimes you may feel like you are losing. But what a couple needs is to lose rather than win. It is to lose instead of gain. If you make concessions to each other like this,
The bride will follow the groom with respect, and the groom will listen to the bride with love.
In the end, the two will lose to each other,
but it is not a loss, but a way for both to sincerely follow each other
and live happily according to their own will.
For the bride and groom, who have always lived to win,
it may be harder to lose.
However, I believe that the two of them will be able to overcome this difficult task and build a happy family.
I believe that the two of them will be able to trust each other and love each other to the end, and that they will overcome any difficulties with hope and become a beautiful couple that will serve as an example to others.
I wish the bride and groom a happy family, and I will conclude my speech with these words.
Wedding ceremony officiant Season’s greetings
Hello, everyone.
I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who have gathered here today to celebrate the new life of the bride and groom, despite the cold weather.
The bride and groom are truly blessed to be able to light the wedding candles with the blessings of so many people.
The bride and groom should be grateful to the guests who have come despite their busy schedules today and show them how they will live happily together.
“Marriage is a long conversation.”
This is a quote from Nietzsche, a pioneer of 21st century philosophy.
Nowadays, conversations between couples, lovers, friends, and colleagues are considered important.
In 1992, the book “The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right” was published in the United States and became a global bestseller.
The book is still selling even now, more than a decade later.
This is a testament to how much attention men and women pay to each other’s communication styles, and at the same time, it shows how much men and women have been having misguided and distorted conversations with each other.
Professor John Gottman, a psychologist at the University of Washington, says that he can tell whether a couple will divorce or not 15 years later just by observing them for an hour.
He boasts an accuracy rate of 95%, which in some ways is more accurate than a fortune teller.
So how on earth can he uncover the truth about marriage in just an hour?
The answer lies in the couple’s conversation.
According to Professor John Gottman, the conversations of divorcing couples contain four elements that put their marriage at risk. These are blame, insult, self-defense, and escape, which have a negative impact on the marriage as a whole.
He argues that while wives tend to use a lot of blame and insulting words, it is common for husbands to self-defend or escape in order to avoid conflict.
On the other hand, happy couples, that is, couples who are less likely to divorce, tried to recover during conversations, unlike couples who are getting divorced.
It is not difficult to try to recover. During a heated conversation or a fight, when the four elements are about to pop out unconsciously, all you have to do is take a short break.
This short break gives you the time to look at the situation objectively and think about the other person’s perspective.
There are many things to fight about in life. It seems that the biggest fights between couples are over small things.
At times like this, I hope you will take a moment to reflect. If you take a moment to think about it, you may find yourself laughing at yourself for getting angry over something so trivial.
Today, the two of you are entering into a lifelong marriage.
I sincerely hope that you will have a happy family through loving and understanding each other through proper communication. I will conclude my officiating.
Eun-geum-yeol Ceremony Officiant’s Speech
Hello.
I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the beautiful couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary today, as well as to all the guests who have come here today, including your family members.
Standing here, the couple looks as beautiful as a bride and groom who are getting married for the first time.
Above all, I think we should applaud this couple for maintaining a harmonious family for a long time.
What is more important than getting married is building a good family after marriage.
However, looking at the faces of this beautiful couple, they still seem to be full of faith and love for each other.
The faces of their children, who were also present at the event, also look happy, suggesting that they have been working hard to build a harmonious family, trusting and caring for each other.
When people first get married and start living together, they are full of love for each other, but as time goes by, they argue and have differences of opinion.
Only by overcoming such difficulties and adversities can a couple have a proper marriage. I think that this couple has overcome several such adversities, and as time goes by, they have come to have a deeper understanding and trust for each other.
It has been said that a family must be peaceful in order to have a stable life outside.
A stable family is the result of the efforts of the husband, who is the head of the household, and the efforts of the wife, who always provides a comfortable shelter for her husband and takes care of it.
Therefore, how can this couple, who have endured endless efforts to protect their family and are celebrating their silver wedding anniversary after 25 years with unchanging affection for each other, not be beautiful?
I hope that you will continue to nurture your unchanging love for each other for the next 25 years. I also think that I will be able to see your beautiful appearance again, as you have protected your family so far.
I wish the couple and their children a future full of happiness, and I will conclude my speech.
Thank you.
Speech by the officiator at the silver wedding ceremony
Good afternoon, distinguished guests.
Today is a special day, more so than any other wedding. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big round of applause to the two people standing in front of you.
The two of you, who have overcome the many obstacles of life, stand side by side as a couple more beautiful and affectionate than any other young couple.
After sharing everything from your youth to middle age to old age,
You may often feel empty.
You may feel self-pity and depression, and you may feel like everything you have lost in life is your spouse’s fault. You may even turn your back on your spouse, thinking that you were enemies in a previous life.
For times like these, I would like to share a little story with you today.
Once upon a time, there lived a greedy and capricious king.
One day, the king had a serious fight with his queen and kicked her out.
As a last act of mercy, he allowed her to take one thing with her.
The next morning, the king found himself sleeping in a field and asked his queen what had happened. The wise and lovely queen says that the most precious thing to her was the king. Only then does the king realize the queen’s love and repent of his mistakes.
30 years is indeed a long time.
It is enough time for the winds and waves of time to pass and come again.
Both of you have gained and lost a lot in your lives.
Please take a moment to look at the face next to you.
In the past, we fought a lot, shed tears, and were disappointed, but in the end, we are the closest people to each other.
Please look at the faces of your family, lover, and friends.
The most precious thing in life is not wealth or fame, but the presence of each other.
The person who shared my despair and joy closest to me.
On this happy day, I see the love that flickers in the eyes of the two of you.
I see the trust that is strong and sufficient to carry you through the life that lies ahead.
I hope that you will hold on to each other’s hands until the end of your lives.
That’s all I have to say.
Everyone, let us now wish the two of you a more beautiful and loving life with a round of applause.
Wedding Ceremony Officiant’s Address
We are going to hold a sacred marriage ceremony with the groom, bride, and the elders and guests of both families.
In the old days, the elders said that marriage is a great event in human life.
So, I don’t know how grateful each and every one of you who have come here to celebrate is to these two people.
Today, on this auspicious and meaningful day, I would like to offer a blessing to these two people who are about to start a new life as a married couple under the title “Starting a Journey to Happiness.”
Why do people get married? People usually say they get married because they love each other.
No, they don’t get married because they love each other, they get married to love.
They get married to love each other more and live with the person they love by their side.
Why do people get married?
Two people get married to create happiness together and share that happiness.
So, what should a happy family be filled with?
A happy family is a family full of love and gratitude, not money, pride, or greed. Happiness is not something that is over there, beyond the mountains, hills, rivers, or oceans, like a bluebird. Happiness is not something that can be found elsewhere, but it is within oneself.
Until now, we only saw each other’s strengths, only saw the good things, and that’s why we got married.
However, as we live together after getting married, we start to see all the shortcomings and things we didn’t like that we couldn’t see before.
So, the first thing you need to do when you get married is to have an understanding heart and an attitude of trying to understand.
It is to embrace each other even when flaws are visible, to protect each other when we are vulnerable, to care for each other even when it is small, to share with each other when something good happens, and to give in to each other when something good is in the offing.
It is to respect each other’s character and to trust each other without doubt.
Love is faith, and faith is happiness.
I sincerely hope that the bride and groom will love and cherish each other without any doubts in their lives together.
I will conclude the ceremony.
