My name is [Celebrant's full name] and I am duly authorised by law to solemnise marriages according to law and to officiate at your marriage today. I take this opportunity to wish you both much happiness in your future lives together.

An officiant or celebrant is someone who officiates (i.e. leads) at a religious or secular service or ceremony, such as marriage (marriage officiant), burial, namegiving or baptism.

A celebrant is a person who performs ceremonies marking some of life's biggest milestones. As well as officiating weddings, celebrants often perform vow renewals, baby naming ceremonies and funerals. For weddings, a celebrant will create a bespoke, meaningful ceremony that isn't religious.
