Adapt your text to the type of ceremony you are hosting
You will also need to adapt your tone to the type of ceremony you have chosen to have. Are you going for a Civil partnership, a wedding at the town hall, or a religious wedding? The announcement will not be the same depending on the situation. If you are religious and your family is too, you can add psalms or verses to your announcement. If you're atheist and you've decided on a non-religious wedding, you may not want to add any religious quote, but might prefer a quote on weddings, or on love!
In any case, here are examples for your announcements, depending on the type of ceremony you will have.
