The priest now starts the Rite:

May the place of this rite
Be consecrated before God.
For we gather here in a ritual of love
With two who would be wedded.
Aviva and Dominic come forward
To stand here before us
And before God.

The two to be wedded come forward at this time, the man to the right of the woman, and stop before the Priest. The Priest will now invoke the spirits:

Be with us here, O Powers of the air!
With your clever fingers
Tie closely the bonds between these two!
Be with us here, O Powers of fire!
Give their love and passion
Your all-consuming ardor!
Be with us here, O Powers of the water!
Give them the deepest of love
And richness of body, of soul, and of spirit!
Be with us here, O Powers of earth!
Let your strength and constancy
Be theirs as long as they desire to remain together!
Mighty God,
Give to these before us, we do ask,
Your love and protection!
Blessed be!
