A wedding is in reality a pact or contract where two parties being of sound mind and legal age agree to form a partnership or union, each contributing something of equal value to the communal benefit. By their natures, marriages are meant to be lifetime relationships, so both parties should consider well their intent an purpose before entering into such a profound and far reaching agreement.
Such long term agreements were well and good a century or more ago when the average human life span was thirty or forty years if they were lucky, but now that people are living to seventy to eighty years or more, such long term agreements should be considered doubly well. Consider that if you are twenty or so years old, you may have to endure one another for the next half century or more.
Moreover, keep in mind that the divorce rate or negation of contract is currently running in excess of sixty percent. If there were ever a time to use good sense, the consideration of a marriage pact would be a fine time to use it. Remember the most tenacious case of lust will wain in less than six weeks, so you had best have something much more enduring between yourselves or you will surely fail.
There is an old time alternative ceremony known as "Handfasting" where everyone gets drunk and the bride and groom simply holds hands and jumps over a stick or broom. Everyone then considers the couple married. Of course, the nice thing about Handfasting is that should you get tired of one another, you can simply jump over the stick or broom backwards which undoes the deed. That always did make more sense.
However, if you are bound and determined and won't listen to reason, and you firmly wish to subject yourselves to such an anomaly as matrimony, then so be it. You do, after all, have free will, but take your action seriously, gravely seriously. So, before the ceremony, the Bride and Groom should place a copy of their wedding pacts in each other's black books. They will sign them later during their wedding ceremony if they don't previously come to their senses.
Wedding Ritual Supplies:
Altar and altar cloth.
One bell
Six black candles and suitable holders.
One taper candle to light other candles.

Two parchments of desire (lists of wedding wishes).
Two Black Books (one for bride and one for groom).
Note: Wedding clothes should not be of long flowing
lace or anything else that could catch fire.
One suitable fire extinguisher. Anytime you have
open fires, it is well to have a way to put them out.
Appoint someone to be in charge should a fire occur.
Think safety, and never commit the sin of stupidity.
The Wedding Ritual Preperation:
The Circle:
Cast a circle large enough to hold the wedding couple with room for the priest to move around freely. A circle larger than 9 feet would be a good idea in this case. Next, mark out the 5 quinary points of the inverted pentagram, beginning with the South and moving around counterclockwise or widdershins until complete- South, Southeast, Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest.
Then, place an altar in the center of the circle- a small table will do. Next, place a black candle at each quinary point around the circle and another on the altar along with the incense, the lighting taper, the Parchments of Desire and the black books. Any tokens such as rings or whatever should also be placed upon the alter where they can be consecrated and later, easily found.
Place the brazier in a safe place where it won't get kicked over and away from curtains or anything that could catch fire. It's a good idea to light the charcoal early so it will be ready when needed. Too it is possible to light the charcoal outside in a tin can on a bed of sand. A couple of glowing coals can then be added to the brazier anytime they are needed. After the wedding, you can roast marshmallows on them.
The officiator or priest should cleanse the circle by sprinkling sea salt, counterclockwise around the perimeter while commanding any descenting or unclean spirits to leave.
The Priest then Invites the Bride and Groom to enter the circle from the North and closes it behind them with a last cast of salt, saying, I now close this circle in the names of The Five Faces of Satan! The Bride and Groom should walk to and stand in the center of the circle in front of the altar, facing South.
The priest then picks up the bell and walks to the South, turns right and walks clockwise around the inside of the circle six times to show a positive desire, stopping at last, facing the South. The priest then rings the bell three times and calls Father Adonis, saying, "Hail Father Adonis, be welcome and come to our gathering!"
The priest then moves to the Southeast, rings the bell three times and calls Lord Satan, saying, "Hail Satan, be welcome and come to our gathering."
The priest then moves to the Northeast, rings the bell three times and calls Lord Lucifer, saying, "Hail Lucifer, be welcome and come to our gathering."
The priest then moves to the Northwest, rings the bell three times and calls Lord Belial, saying, "Hail Belial, be welcome and come to our gathering."
The priest then moves to the Southwest, rings the bell three times and calls Leviathan, saying, "Hail Leviathan, be welcome and come to our gathering."
The Priest then returns to the South side of the Altar, sets down the bell and picks up a match or lighter. The priest then consecrates the altar, saying, "I now consecrate this altar, the tokens and all within the circle to our Fathers who are all Aspects of our Lord Satan." The priest then lights the altar candle and the incense. The incense may be placed upon the brazier if desired. The priest then picks up a taper, lighting it in the flame of the burning altar candle, saying, "I will now welcome our Fathers and light their candles of welcome."
The Priest then faces South and walks to the candle in the South, and lighting it, says, "Greetings Father Adonis, thank you for coming. I light this candle in your honor, that you may shed your light of understanding and compassion upon all of us, and in particular, our wedding couple, [name and name]. Let their days together be fruitful and filled with joy. Hail Father Adonis!" The priest then, nods, pauses a moment, and then moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest faces the Southeast, and lighting the candle says, "Greetings Lord Satan, thank you for coming. I light this candle in your honor, that you may awaken conjugal desire in this couple, [name and name], and grant them lust for one another, forsaking all others as per their will." The priest then, nods, pauses a moment, and then moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest faces the Northeast, and lighting the candle says, "Greetings Lord Lucifer, thank you for coming. I light this candle in your honor, that you may grant wisdom and knowledge to this couple, [name and name], and bestow happiness upon them for all of their days together." The priest then, nods, pauses a moment, and then moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest faces the Northwest, and lighting the candle says, "Greetings Lord Belial, thank you for coming. I light this candle in your honor, that you may grant strength and steadfastness to this couple, [name and name], and bestow stability and a strong foundation that will uphold them for all of their days together." The priest then, nods, pauses a moment, and then moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest faces the Southwest, and lighting the candle says, "Greetings Lord Leviathan, thank you for coming. I light this candle in your honor, that you may grant sweet dreams to this couple, [name and name], and bestow a passion for fulfillment upon them for all of their days together." The priest then, nods, pauses a moment, and then moves to the altar, facing North and addresses the bridal couple.
The priest orates: "We are gathered here today in the divine focus of the Five Faces of Satan to receive their blessings and gifts for [name and name], and to celebrate their union as man and wife. I therefore announce the eminent wedding of [name and name]."
The priest then faces the wedding party and says, "Should there be any among you here today who know of any reason why these people, [name and name], should not be joined in the sight of Satan, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."
The priest waits for any response, and there being none, then says, "I hear no response or reason why this couple should not be joined in the Divine Fire of The Five Faces of Satan, so [name and name] shall now be joined in marriage as per their will."
The priest returns to his place at the South of the altar, facing the wedding couple and says, "The time for your union is at hand as per your spoken desire, so I request each of you to express your wedding vows to one another." The priest looks the Groom in the eyes and says, "You may face your betrothed and state your wedding pact to your satisfaction."
The priest waits as the Groom states his wedding pact to his betrothed. When the Groom completes his pack, the priest looks the Bride in the eyes and says, "You may now speak your wedding pact to your betrothed." The priest waits as the Bride states her wedding pact to her betrothed. When she is finished, the priests says, "You may now exchange tokens of your intent and will."
That done, the priest then requests that the wedding couple hold up their requests written upon their Parchments of Desire and then burn them in the brazier.
That done, and as the smoke rises, the priest says, "Hail Satan! Divine Fathers, you have heard the wedding couple express their intent and will to enter into fiery heart of matrimony with one another and seen them exchange tangible evidence of their pacts.
They have burned their Parchments of Desire in the holy flame, so we now ask your blessings and comforts upon them. Shower them with good luck, good health, the fulfillment of their desires and prosperity for all of their days together. Hail Father Adonis! Hail Satan! Hail Lucifer! Hail Belial! Hail Leviathan!
The priest then requests that the Bride and Groom sign each other's pacts in their respective black books so that they may remember when their years grow long.
The priest then looks the Groom in the eyes and asks, "[Name], do you take [name] for your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, forsaking all others and to love honor and cherish in sickness and in health for all of your days?
Should the Groom answer "I do," the priest then looks the Bride in her eyes and asks, "[Name], do you take [name] for your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, forsaking all others and to love honor and cherish in sickness and in health for all of your days? Should the Bride answer "I do," the priest then exclaims, "I now pronounce you man and wife!" The priest then looks the Groom in the eyes and says, "You may now kiss your Bride!"
The priest then picks up the libation bottle and pours a large libation into the chalice or glass and hands it to the Groom who makes a statement to his wife and takes a sip. The Groom then hands the goblet to his wife who makes her statement to him and takes a sip. She then hands the goblet to the priest who then turns, faces South, walks to the South and upholds the goblet to Father Adonis, saying, "Thank you Father for attending and bestowing your comforts and blessings upon our wedding couple! Hail Father Adonis!" The priest nods and moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest upholds the goblet unto Lord Satan and says, "Thank you Father for attending and bestowing your comforts and blessings upon our wedding couple! Hail Satan!" The priest nods and moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest upholds the goblet unto Lord Lucifer and says, "Thank you Father for attending and bestowing your comforts and blessings upon our wedding couple! Hail Lucifer!" The priest nods and moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest upholds the goblet unto Lord Belial and says, "Thank you Father for attending and bestowing your comforts and blessings upon our wedding couple! Hail Belial!" The priest nods and moves counterclockwise to the next station.
The priest upholds the goblet unto Leviathan and says, "Thank you Father for attending and bestowing your comforts and blessings upon our wedding couple! Hail Leviathan!" The priest nods and returns to the altar and congratulates the Bride and Groom.
The priest then faces the wedding party and states, "[name and name] are now joined in the sight of our Fathers, Satan and may none put asunder!" At this time, announcements may be made. That done, the priest says, "I will now close this circle and wedding ritual. Hail Satan!"
The priest then walks six times, counterclockwise around the circle, finally stopping in the South and extinguishes the candle saying, "Thank you Father for coming and be welcome next time we call a circle." The priest then proceeds counterclockwise around the circle extinguishing the candles in each quinary station and thanking each Aspect of Divinity for their presence and extending future welcome. When the last candle is extinguished, the priest returns to the South and announces, "This circle is closed. It is done!"
Helpers then clean up and remove all traces of the circle including all ritual equipment and supplies. The libation goblet is emptied upon the Earth, and the work is finished.
Traditionally, there is a celebration of cakes and libations where good will is shared by all. Gifts may be presented to the wedding couple before they depart upon their bonding excursion. Wedding suppers are optional.
