                 "My friends, she proclaimed on that cloudless day"

Here, the Sibyl Celebrant will question the couples again.

Sibyl Celebrant: "While true feeling is something that cannot be replaced,"
                 "In what manner will you express your truest love's embrace?"

Groom shall apply:

"With this ring I pledge my love."

Sibyl Celebrant: "While true feeling is something that cannot be replaced,"
                 "In what manner will you express your truest love's embrace?"

Bride shall answer:

"With this ring I pledge my love."

Sibyl Celebrant: "These rings represent the circling of the stars"
                 "Set in stone and never changing."
                 "Now you are destined to circle each other."

The Sibyl Celebrant will then ask.

Sibyl Celebrant:"Are you certain in this undertaking?"

Both groom and bride shall answer:

"Yes, we are."

Sibyl Celebrant: "This pair of rings has been blessed by the Star Sibyl's grace,"
                 "So take good care; like love itself, they cannot be replaced."

Both groom and bride equip the rings on their left hand.

The Sibyl Celebrant will speak out:

Sibyl Celebrant: "Now face each other; bask in the glory of this new start."
                 "There is no need to utter words that are conveyed by the heart."

Afterwards,the couple turn their backs against each other, walk a few steps andturn back, walk toward each other and hold for a short period. (Thisindicates the kiss scene.)

There, the Sibyl Celebrant will bless the couple.

Sibyl Celebrant: "By the Star Sibyl's power vested in me,"
                  Husband and wife you are declared to be!"

                 "May their bond grow as deep as the wide blue sea"
                 "And their love soar as high as the Great Star Tree."

The attendees may clap their hands and cheer for the couple.

Once the cheering settles down, the Sibyl Celebrant will give a signal to the couple to exit the hall.

Sibyl Celebrant: "Now step forth onto the long road which extends."
                 "And receive all the blessings of your loyal friends."

Groom and bride shall leave the hall slowly.
