(The one Performing the wedding Speaks) Marriage is a most honorable estate, signifying unto us the mystical union, so too may this marriage be adorned by true and abiding love Just as two threads woven in opposite directions will form a most beautiful tapestry, so too can your two lives be merged together to make a beautiful marriage. To make your relationship work it will take love. This is the core of your marriage and why you are here today. It will take trust, to know in your hearts that you truly want the best for eachother. It will take dedication, to stay open to one another, and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward without knowing exactly what the future brings. It will take commitment, to hold true to the journey you both pledge today to share together. (The One performing the wedding looks to all gathered and speaks) Is there any one here who has just cause why this couple should not be united in marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace.

(If Unity Candle Ceremony or the Rose Ceremony wish to be used this is the point where it should be administered) (One performing the ceremony speaks) In so much as the two of you have agreed to live together in matrimony, have promised your love for eachother by these vows, the joining of your hands and the giving of these rings, I now declare you to be husband and wife.

(The newlyweds will then walk back up the aisle and all will head to Ballroom for reception) Unity Candle Ceremony (One performing the wedding speaks) The two seperate candles symbolize your seperate lives, seperate families and seperate sets of friends. I ask that you both take one of the lit candles and light the candle in the center together. (Wait a few moments till the candle is lit and the smaller candles are back in their holders on the either side of the middle candle) (One performing the wedding speaks) The individual candles represent your lives before today, lighting the center candle represents that your to lights are now joine to one light, and represents the joining together of your two families and sets of friends to one. The Rose Ceremony Words of the Rose Ceremony: Your gift to eachother for your wedding today has been your wedding rings, which shall always be an outward demonstration of your vows of love and respect, and a public showing of your commitment to eachother. You now have what remains a most honorable title which may exist between a man and a woman, "The Title of Husband and Wife.". For your first gift as husband and wife, that gift will be a single rose. Please exchange your first gift as Husband and wife. (pause while the exchange is taking place) In some ways it seems as though you have not done nothing at all. Just a moment ago you were holding one small rose, and now you are holding one small rose. In some ways, a marriage ceremony is like this. In some ways, tomorrow is gonna seem no different then yesterday, but in fact today, just now, you both have given and received one of the most valuable and precious gifts of life, one I hope you will always remember, the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage. I would ask that wherever you shall leave, that you both choose a special place in which to plant these roses. So that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion that you both take a rose to that spot as a recommitment to your marriage and your love for one another. In every marriage there are times when it is difficult to find the right words It is easiest to hurt who we most love It might be difficult sometimes to find the words to say " I am sorry" or "I forgive you" or " I am hurting" or "I need you". If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words, leave a rose at that spot which you both have selected, for that rose then says what matters most of all. That rose says the words " I still love you" The other should accept this rose for the words for which can not be found and remember the love and hope that you both share this day. If there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure. |
