JohnandRain&Eric
31 December 2000
[Pastor's comments and belssing on the medallion.]
Two merged circles are often used to symbolize love and marriage. This Family Medallion has three circles merged within a larger circle to symbolize the love and inseparability of John and 'Rain...and Eric. Often marriage is viewed as the union of two individuals. In reality, however, marriage is much broader.
As we give thanks to God for the love which brings John and Rain together, so, too, we recognize Eric and the significant role he plays in this marriage we celebrate tonight.
We give this medallion to you, Eric,
as a pledge to always include you
in the love that we have for each other.
Accept this medallion
as a symbol of our new family.
[Hugs all around.]
