INTRODUCTION
I call upon everyone here to witness with me the marriage between Dale and Cecilia. We are here, not only to witness their commitment to each other, but also to wish them every happiness in their lives together.
Dale and Cecilia believe marriage is founded upon sincerity and understanding which lead to tolerance, confidence and trust. They feel it involves respect for each other's individuality, and that most difficult of tasks: the acceptance of each other's weaknesses and faults.
They know that a happy marriage will enable them to establish a home filled with love and stability. In this home, you--their family and friends--will find welcome, peace and support.
MONITUM FROM MARRIAGE ACT
Dale and Cecilia, I am authorised to perform marriages according to the laws of Australia.
Before you are joined in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these witnesses, I am to remind you of the solemn and binding nature of the relationship into which you are now about to enter.
Marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.

Ms.
Hiroko Kitamura provided a delicious traditional Japanese meal for the
guests.
Samir Buric read a passage from Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet"
Dale and Cecilia, this reading is from the works of Kahlil Gibran:
You were brought
together, and together you shall be for evermore.
But let there
be spaces in your togetherness
And let the
winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another,
but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather
be a moving sea between the shores of your lives.
Fill each
other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one
another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance
together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the
strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your
hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only
the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand
together yet not too near together:
For the pillars
of the temple stand apart,
And the oak
tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
We wish Dale and Cecilia joy and prosperity in their new life together.
