Welcome! As the family and friends of Nora Eileen Smith-Hilton and Neil Robert Mills, let us come together to witness their vows of marriage and share in the joy of this joining.
Nora and Neil, I ask that you both light your individual candles. The two lighted candles symbolize your separate lives, your separate families and your separate sets of friends.
I ask that you each take one candle and that together you light the center candle. The individual candles represent your individual lives before today. Lighting the center candle represents that your two lives are now joined to one light, and represents the joining together of your two families and sets of friends to one. Love one another, but make not a bond of that Love.
Let it rather be like a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
And stand together, and yet not too near together.
For even the pillars of the temple must stand apart; and the oak tree and the cypress will not grow in each other's shadow.
Remember that love gives nothing but from itself.
Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
And think not that you can direct the course of love.
For love, if it finds you worthy, will direct your course.![]()
As an expression of your mutual desires and purpose of being joined in marriage, you will please join hands. Neil Robert Mills, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love, honor and cherish her, and in all respects to be a faithful husband, so long as you both shall live? Nora Eileen Smith-Hilton, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love, honor and cherish him, and in all respects to be a faithful wife, so long as you both shall live?
The tradition of exchanging wedding rings is an ancient custom. The Romans believed that a vein ran from the third finger of the left hand directly to the Heart. It was believed that by placing a ring on this finger, the couple created a link directly between the hearts of the two individuals. In keeping with this tradition, I now ask that Nora and Neil exchange rings as symbols and tokens of their love. Since you have entered into this honorable estate of matrimony by mutual promises, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the State of Maine, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may now seal your vows with a kiss.
..
And now, with great Honor and Joy, Please let me be the first to present Mr. and Ms. Neil and Nora Mills ![]()
