Preacher: "There is a Scottish tradition
called the Penny Wedding. When a couple would declare their intention to
get married, and ask the community to join together and surround them and
assist them and be part of their getting married together. And at that
point, it was traditional that each person coming to be part of the wedding
would bring a Scottish Penny to give to the bride and groom. And at this
point we ask you to give not a penny, but to give your blessing to the
bride and groom. And anyone who would like to speak now to give their blessing
to Jeff and Samantha, please do."
Members of congregation take turns
speaking.
