So we're having a friend as our officiant so I am putting together the script for him with FH. Here is what we have so far. I think we have all the important stuff (declarations, vows, ring exchange and pronouncement) but any opinions would be great or if there's anything I'm missing. I'm probably going to edit this down a little because we really want to keep the ceremony to about 10-15 minutes, DEFINITELY no more than 15! TIA 
Welcome, family, friends and loved ones. We are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of XXXX and XXXX.
XXXX and XXXX,
marriage is the promise between two people who love each other, who trust
that love, who honor one another as individuals in that togetherness, and who
wish to spend
the rest of their lives together. It enables the two separate souls to share
their desires,
longings, dreams, and memories, their joys and sorrows, and to help each other
through all
uncertainties of life. A strong marriage also nurtures each of you as separate
individuals and
allows you to maintain your unique identity and grow in your own way through
the years
ahead. It is a safe haven for each of you to become your best self while
together you become
better than ever could be alone.
You are adding to your
life not only the affection of each other, but also the companionship
and blessing of a deep trust. You are agreeing to share strength,
responsibilities and love. To
make this relationship work, therefore, takes more than love. It takes trust,
to know in your
hearts that you want only the best for each other. It takes dedication, to stay
open to one
another, to learn and grow, even when it is difficult to do so. And it takes
faith, to go forward
together without knowing what the future holds for you both.
Officiant: XXXX, please take XXXX’s hand and repeat after me.
XXXX I take you as you are/ loving who you are now and who you are yet to become/ I promise from this day forward/ To be grateful for our love and our life/ To be generous with my time, my energy and my affection/ To be patient with you and with myself/ To fill our life with adventure and our home with laughter/ To encourage you to grow as an individual, and inspire you to do so/ To love you completely/ These things I pledge before you, our friends and our family/
Officiant: XXXXX, please take XXXX’s hand and repeat after me.

Officiant: XXXX, do you take XXXX to be your wife? XXXX: I do.
Officiant: XXXX, do you take XXXX to be your husband? XXXX: I do.
Officiant: Please present the rings
XXXX, as you place this ring on XXXX‘s finger, repeat these words after me: This ring symbolizes my love for you/ and the commitments we made today
XXXX, as you place this ring on XXXX‘s finger, repeat these words after me: This ring symbolizes my love for you/ and the commitments we made today
XXXX and XXXX., take a moment to recall every magical moment in your life that led you to this point. All the smiles and tears endured, all the meticulous plans that went awry and the happy accidents that got you back on course. Everything that has ever happened has led you to this moment, right here. While the words you have spoken have sealed your union, it the smashing of the glass that truly seals your spiritual union. It is tradition that as the glass is smashed, the message of "Mazel Tov" is shouted.
The glass, once broken, may never be truly re-assembled. The change is permanent. Likewise, the bonds you have formed today are permanent. Having entered into the beautiful institution of marriage, your lives have been changed irrevocably for the better.
As the officiant speaks the words above, the best man should place the glass (typically wrapped in a white cloth) before the couple. The couple may then stomp the glass.
All: MAZELTOV
The by the power vested in me, and by the state of New Jersey, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.
