these circles of
eternity, a reminder

hopes and dreams
of their partner
which they hold
in their hand.
We talked about
new levels of

these lives

bring the
marriage a force
that is
unwavering.
Throughout the
coming years,
__________and

enter into a
greater age and
wisdom, to allow

Religious Ceremony
One
We
have been invited by
_____________and_______________to
celebrate with them,
the joining in
Christian love of
their lives and
hearts. This is
possible because of
the love God has
created in them,
through Jesus
Christ. Jesus said,
“ I am come that
they might have life
and that they might
have it more
abundantly.” This
abundant life comes
from god who proved
His love for us by
giving His Son that
we might partake of
this life.
Another way that God
provides for this
‘full” life is
creating those who
will love us. This
couple has found
each other. It is
not the ceremony
that will join this
couple but God’s
love and grace.
As
God has shown his
love, they also with
demonstrate this
love by giving
themselves, one to
the other.
They have not come
to this place alone
for it was their
parents who gave
them life. Their
love has brought
forth fruit in
_____________(groom)
and
______________(bride).
Love and respect for
these will continue
as their own love
grows, made possible
by the love of their
parents.
Officiate- Who
shares in the giving
of these two people
in marriage today?
Family- “We do” or
Father- “I do” or
“her mother and I
do.”
Officiate to the
groom- Will you have
this woman to be
your wedded wife, to
live together in the
holy estate of
matrimony. Will you
love her, comfort
and honor her, and
keep her in sickness
and in health; and
forsaking all others
keep thee only unto
her so long as you
both shall live?
Groom- I will
Officiate to the
bride- Will you have
this man to be your
wedded husband, to
live together in the
holy estate of
matrimony. Will you
love him, comfort
and honor him, and
keep him in sickness
and in health; and
forsaking all others
keep thee only unto
him so long as you
both shall live?
Bride- I will
Who
holds the rings?
Officiate- A ring is
not just a symbol of
your union but also
a seal of the vows
you have made to one
another. The circle
of the ring is a
perfect circle
without beginning or
end. So God too have
perfect love for you
and wants you to
love one another in
His grave, which is
never ending.
Officiate to the
groom- Repeat after
me.
With this ring I
thee wed and say to
the world, “This is
my wife, whom I
cherish above all
others. In the name
of the Father, the
Son and the Holy
Spirit Amen.
Officiate to the
bride- Repeat after
me.
With this ring I
thee wed and say to
the world, “This is
my husband, whom I
cherish above all
others. In the name
of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy
Spirit Amen.
By
the authority vested
in my by my church
and the state of
Arizona, I now

husband and wife.

may kiss your bride.

Religious Wedding
Ceremony
Two
Dearly Beloved, we
gather today before
God to witness and
to celebrate the
marriage of
_______and
__________in Holy
Matrimony.
This is a defining
moment in the growth
of their life and
love together.
Through this love,
they have enriched
their life and have
made each stronger
in their faith.
Having found each
other and
establishing this
loving relationship,
they have come here
today to sanctify it
and give it special
meaning. This is not
a magic service or a
tool to build a
relationship, but
rather reinforce the
relationship they
have already.
It is a time to tie
a knot in the rope
of days they have
spent together and
say “we will not
slip backward from
here, but will
move forward from
this day forward,
together. It
is the time for vows
and intentions.
This is their day to
declare the promise
that they will face
uncertainty
together, the love
for one another, and
their desire to be
together all the
days of their lives.
The
Apostle Paul wrote’
If I speak with the
tongues of humans
and angels, but have
not love, I am but a
sounding gong or a
tinkling cymbal.
Love is patient and
is kind. It
does not envy. It is
not proud.
Love is not rude, it
is not self-seeking,
it is not easily
angered. Love
keeps no record of
wrongs. It
does not rejoice in
evil, but delights
in the truth. Love
always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes, and
always preserves.
Love never fails.
Now abide faith,
hope, and love; but
the greatest of
these is love.
___________and
__________, you have
heard the Bible’s
definition of love.
It is a high and
lofty one, but the
only one worthy of
efforts. I invite
you now to state
publicly your
promises to live
together with this
kind of pure love
for one another.
Groom-I,
_____, take you
______, to be my
wedded wife. To have
and to hold, for
better, for worse,
for richer, for
poorer, in sickness
or in health, to
love and to cherish
from this day
forward till death
do us part. And
hereto I pledge you
my faithfulness.
Bride- I, _____,
take you ______, to
be my wedded
husband. To have and
to hold, for better,
for worse, for
richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in
health, to love and
to cherish,
from this day
forward, till death
do us part. And
hereto I pledge you
my faithfulness.
And so come _________________and _________________to the presentation of rings by which you symbolize and bind your love.
Bride- Place the
ring on your groom's
finger and repeat
after me.
Our love is even
more precious than
this ring and more
enduring than this
band of precious
metal. I place this
bank on your finger
as a symbol of my
love for you and for
the vows we have
spoken here today.
Groom-Place the ring
on your bride's
finger and repeat
after me.
Our love is even
more precious than
this ring and more

metal. I place this

as a symbol of my
love for you and for

In the presence of
God, your family and
friends today, you
have spoken the
words and performed
the rites which
unite your lives. It
is my legal right as
minister and my
greatest joy and
privilege to declare
you husband and
wife. You may now
kiss your bride.
And now, ladies and
gentlemen, it is my
pleasure to present
to you for the first
time. Mr. and Mrs.
______________
Religious Wedding
Ceremony
Three
We
learn from the
inspired word that
the Lord Jesus
honored the marriage
ceremony with His
presence working
there the beginning
of His miracles.
These miracles
indicate that Jesus
Christ is the
eternal Son of God,
the Sovereign and
the Creator of the
universe and the
wedding ceremony was
the first used to
demonstrate this
glorious fact. The
Bible which is the
Word of God declares
marriage to be
honorable. It was
ordained of God
during the time of
man’s innocence
before he sinned
against the Lord.
Since marriage is a
divine institution,
it is to be entered
into soberly and
discreetly, as in
His sight.
God
Himself united the
first members of the
human family, which
fact along abolishes
all frivolous views
of marriage.
The bridegroom and
bride are to be
partners in life,
each forsaking
mother and father to
cleave unto the
other. They
share a common name,
a united household,
a common experience,
and a love which
blesses and
transcends all cares
and trials of life.
These vows are to be
broken only by
death.
Officiate to the
groom- Do you
______________take_____________to
be your lawful and
wedded wife?
Groom- I do
Officiate to groom-
Do you promise to
love, to cherish, to
honor, to protect,
forsaking all
others, in sickness
as well as in
health, in adversity
as well as in
prosperity, for
better or for worse,
and to cleave only
to her so long as
you both shall live?
Groom- I do
Officiate to the
bride- Do you
______________take_____________to
be your lawful and
wedded husband?
Bride- I do
Officiate to bride-
Do you promise to
love, to cherish, to
honor, forsaking all
others, in sickness
as well as in
health, in adversity
as well as in
prosperity, for
better or for worse,
and to cleave only
to him so long as
you both shall live?
Bride- I do
Officiate- Who
gives ______to be
married to
_____________?
Bride’s Father- Her
mother and I do
Officiate to groom-
What token do you
give to show that
you will faithfully
perform these vows?
Groom A ring
Officiate- The
circle which forms
this ring is the
emblem of eternity
and the beautiful
metal out of which
it is made is the
type that will least
tarnish and be the
most enduring.
It is to show how
lasting and
imperishable, the
faith now mutually
pledged is to be.
Officiate to the
groom- Place the
ring on your bride's
finger and repeat
after me.
With this ring, I
pledge myself to
thee with all the
affections of my
heart, so long as we
both shall live.
Officiate to bride-
What token do you
give to show that
you will faithfully
perform these vows?
Bride-A ring
Officiate to the
bride- Place the
ring on your groom's
finger and repeat
after me.
With this ring, I
pledge myself to
thee with all the
affections of my
heart, so long as we
both shall live.
Let us unite in
prayer. We thank
thee, Heavenly
Father, for this
home that is now
called into
existence and ask
Thy blessings upon
this couple _all the
days of their lives.
We ask that as they
unite into one
family, they will
glorify Thee.
We ask that they
will serve Thee and
that their lives
together might
present the glorious
truth of God’s Word,
the union of Christ,
and the Church.
Bless them to this
end, for we ask it
in the name of the
Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
The scripture
declares love is
forbearing and kind;
love knows no
jealously, love does
not brag, is not
conceited.
Love is not
unmannerly, nor
selfish, nor
irritable, nor
mindful of wrongs.
Love does not
rejoice in
injustice, but
joyfully sides with
the truth.
Love can overlook
faults and is full
of trust, hope, and
endurance. Lover
never fails.
Having heard the
pledges of your
affection, and the
vows of your
fidelity, I do
therefore by virtue
of the authority
invested in me by
the laws of the
state of Arizona.
Before God, whose
grace to you is
unmeasured, and
before these
witnesses, I
pronounce you
husband and wife,
and what God has
joined together, let
no man put asunder.
You may kiss your
bride.
Ladies and
Gentlemen, May I
present to you Mr.
and Mrs.

Wedding Four
Zion
Minister- Dearly
beloved, We are
gathered here,
in the presence
of God and of
this company,
that (bride) ___
and (groom) ___
may be united in
holy matrimony.
We are here to
celebrate and
share in the
glorious act
that God is
about to
perform, the act
by which He
converts their
love for one
another into the
holy and sacred
estate of
marriage.
This relationship is
an honorable and
sacred one,
established by our
Creator for the
welfare and
happiness of mankind
and approved by the
Apostle Paul as
honorable among all
men. Designed to
unite two sympathies
and hopes into one,
it rests upon the
mutual confidence
and devotion of
husband and wife.
May
it be in extreme
thoughtfulness and
reverence and in
dependence upon
divine guidance that
you enter now into
this holy
relationship?
Giving of the bride
Minister - Being
assured that your
love and your choice
of each other as
lifelong companions
are in God’s will
and that you have
your families’
blessings, I now
ask, “Who gives this
woman to be married
to this man?”
Bride’s Family-We do
Minister - The
apostle, Paul
compared the
relationship between
husband and wife to
that between Christ
and the church.
Marriage is a
decision of two
individuals to share
the same type of
Christian love
described by Paul.
1 Cor. 13, 4-8
Love is patient,
love is kind. It
does not envy, it
does not boast, it
is not proud. It is
not rude, it is not
seeking. Love is not
easily angered and
keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does
not delight in evil
but rejoices with
the truth. It always
perseveres. Love
never fails.
This kind of love
enriches each part
of life and marriage
enriches love. Two
lives, shared with
this kind of love,
can hold more
fulfillment and
happiness than
either life.

We ask that You, God

generosity, when
mistrust is a
temptation, give
moral strength, when
there is
misunderstanding,
give patience and
gentleness, if
suffering becomes a
part of their lives,
give them a strong
faith and an abiding
love. Amen
Minister- It is a
Christian custom to
exchange rings as a
symbol of love.
As the rings have no
end so your love
should have no end.
As the rings are
made of gold
symbolizing of
purity, so should
your marriage have
purity. Each time
you see these ring,
you will remember
this moment and the
promise of unending
love you made to
each other.

Five
Queridos amados, nos
hemos reunido hoy
aqui ante los ojos
de Dios y en
precencia de esta
compania, para
precenciar y
celebrar la union de
___________(Cebadero
) y _________(Braid)
en Santo Matrimonio.
Este es un momento
definitivo en el
crecimiento de sus
vidas y su amor
juntos. Mediante
este amor han
enriquecido sus
vidas y hecho de su
fe aun mas fuerte.
Al encontrarse el
uno al otro y
establecido esta
relacion amorosa,
han venido hoy aqui
a santificar su
relacion y darle un
significado
especial. Este no es
un servicio magico o
una herramienta para
estrocturar una
relacion, si no para
reinforsar la
relacion que ya
conservan. Es tiempo
ahora para enlasar
el lazo de los dias
juntos y decir, " No
nos retractaremos de
aqui, si no
caminaremos hacia un
futuro juntos de hoy
en adelante. Es
tiempo para las
metas y juramientos.
Este sl el dia para
declarar la promesa
de enfrentar juntos
la jornada de los
dias de
incertidumbre, el
amor mutuo, y el
deseo de estar
juntos el resto de
sus vidas.
El lazo es puesto en
el novio y la novia.
El lazo es un ritual de
la boda en el cual
___________(Cebadero ) y
_________(Braid) son
unidos por medio de un
lazo ceremonial. Cada
uno ha concentido al
enlasarse symbolicamente
afirmando que son
casados por voluntad
propia.
El apostol Pablo
escribio "Si yo
hablara con lengua
de humanos y angeles,
pero no tengo amor,
solo soy mas que una
campana o un simbalo
tinteante. El amor
es paciente y
bondadoso. No siente
envidia. No es
orgulloso. No es
grocero. No es
interesado, y no es
facilmente provocado
al enojo. No
mantiene cuenta de
los errores. Y no se
regocija en el mal,
si no se deleita en
la verdad. El amor
siempre protege,
siempre confia,
siempre mantiene la
esperanza, y siempre
persevera. El amor
nunca falla. Ahora
apeguese a la fe,
esperanza, y amor;
Sin embargo, el mas
grande entre estos
es el amor. Cebadero
__________ y
Braid ___________,
Han escuchado la
definicion del amor
en la biblia, es una
definicion alta e
inponente, pero la
unica meresedora de
esfurezo. Los invito
ahora a declarar sus
promesas de vivir
juntos con este
mutuo amor puro y
noble publicamente.
Repitan despues de
mi.
Braɪd- Yo,
_______, te recibo a
ti __________, como
mi esposo y prometo
guardarte fidelidad,
en la prosperidad, y
en la adversidad, en
la salud, y en la
enfermedad, para
amarte y respetarte
todos los dias de mi
vida hasta que la
muerte nos separe. Y
de aqui en adelante
te prometo lealtad.
Cebadero-Repite
despues de mi.
Te doy este anillo
como simbolo de mi
amor.
Braɪd
-_______________,

sostiene a su
corazon al conteo de
tres latidos de su
corazon y se las da
a la novia que
tambien las sostiene
a su corazon al
conteo de tres
latidos de su
corazon.
Por autoridad que me
hes dada por la
iglesia y el estado

and rejoice with you
in health as long as
we both shall live
to love. I promise
to be your support
and help you
accomplish all your
dreams, from this
day forward.
Minister- Will you
now give and receive
a ring as a symbol
of this union?
Couple- We will
Goom and bride are
handed the rings
Minister- The circle
of metal which you
are exchanging as
symbols of your
commitent to each
other, were regarded
by the ancients as
the circle of
eternity, having no
beginning and no
end. It is most
fitting that the
exchange of these
circles of eternity,
be a daily reminder
of the vows you have
pledged today
Groom- I ask that
you wear this ring
today and forever as
a symbol of my love
and devotion to you.
Bride-I ask that you
also wear this ring
today and forever as
a symbol of my love
and devotion to you.
Minister- We speak
to this couple of
the love and trust
that has been given
to them by their
partner. We speak to
them of the
generosity and
kindness which they
will give to each
other. We speak to
them of the hopes
and dreams of their
mate which they hold
in their hands. We
speak to them of new
levels of
understanding and
patience that will
make their lives
together rich and
bring to their union
a strength that will
not be broken.
Throughout the
coming years, this
couple will enter
into a greater age
and wisdom that will
keep their love
young. To allow them
to recover from
those moments of
trouble and to forge
a bond, stronger
than the metals that
circle their
fingers. May they
become all that they
can become, keeping
these vows, made
this day, in
freedom, teaching
each other and
knowing the fullness
of their being. That
they become more
than each other and
enjoy the fruits of
all life has to
offer.
Minister - What
therefore God hath
joined together, let
no man put asunder.
Forasmuch as (groom)
_______ and (bride)
_________ have
consented together
in holy matrimony,
and have witnessed
the same before God

Christ.

Non-Religious
Ceremony One
Dearly beloved, we gathered here in
the presence this company to join _____________and______________________in
the hold bonds of matrimony. One of the most beautiful writings
about this affair called marriage comes from “The Prophet,”
written by Kahil Gabran. He writes;
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love
Let it be as a moving sea between the
shores of your souls
Fill each other’s cup but drink not
from one cup
Give one another of your bread, but
not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone
Even as the strings of the lute are
alone, though they quiver with the same music.
Give your heart, but not unto each
other’s keeping for only the bonds of life can contain your
hearts
And stand together, yet not too near,
for as the pillars of the temple stand apart and the oak tree
and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow
Remember that love gives nothing but
from itself
Love possesses not, nor would it be
possessed for love is sufficient unto love and think not that
you can direct the course of love.
For love, if it finds you worthy, will
direct your course
Today you will exchange your vows of
marriage that will unite you as husband and wife.
Who give this bride in marriage?
Officiate to the groom- Repeat after
me.
_____________(Bride’s name), you are
my greatest love and my last love. Until I met you, I didn’t
give true love much thought, but since you came into my life, I
struggle desperately to find the words to tell you how much I
love you and how I adore you.
It is difficult for me to verbalize my
feelings for you because mere words can’t begin to express my
deep love. I thank God for you and pledge myself to you now, to
be your ever-faithful husband. I give you my mind, my body, and
my heart, and I promise to love you and cherish you for as long
as we both shall live.
Officiate to the bride- Repeat after
me.
As you have been by my side though my
darkest hours, so I will be a light in your life. I will listen
to your concerns and not judge. I will lift you up and support
you through laughter and through tears. As you have cared for me
in times of infirmity, so I will keep you sheltered when storms
arise. I will be the rock that you lean on and the wings that
allow you to fly. As you have inspired me to follow my dreams so
I will strive to help you achieve your goals. I will encourage
you in your endeavors. Nourish your spirit as we walk through
this life. As you have loved me, so I will love you. I will be
by your side, a part of one soul but above all else; I will
allow you to be you.
Officiate to the groom- Repeat after
me.
I give you this ring as a seal upon
the marriage vows I have spoken and as you wear it not only on
this precious day, but every single days of your life.
Officiate to the bride- Repeat after
me
I give you this ring as a seal upon

the rest of my life with. We have a bond that I believe could

hardest times in my life and what that means to me, you will

but good memories and me showing you exactly how much you mean
to me. You are the love of my life and that will never change. I
love you with all of my heart. I will be the best man I can be
and take care of you until the end of time. I love you, forever
and ever.
Officiate to the bride- Repeat after
me. I knew from the first time I saw you that I wanted you in my
life. The first night we were together, I knew you were the only
man for me. We have already been though some very hard times but
we cam out stronger. We have so many wonderful memories, I know
neither one of us could ever forget them. My love for you has
always remained strong and I couldn’t wish for anyone better to
be my husband and the wonder father I know you will be. I
promise to be the best wife and mother that I can be, to always
be by your side, and my love will remain only stronger for the
rest of our lives together.

In the years, which shall bring
__________and____________ into greater age and wisdom, we hope
that their love shall be ever young; that they will be able to
always recover from those moments of despair. In this hope, may
they keep the vows made on this day, in freedom, teaching each
other who they are, what they yet shall be, enabling them to
know that in the fullness of being, they are more than
themselves, more than each other, that they are all of us and
that together we share joyously, the fruits of life on this
earth, our home. Inasmuch as _________and____________have
declared their love to each other before family and friends, I
now pronounce them husband and wife.

Wedding Ceremony
Seven
We gathered here today to join
__________and___________________in marriage.
This celebration is but an outward
sign of an inward union of heart, mind, and spirit. This is a
time of celebration for the marriage these two souls who are
already one in spirit. When such love already exists between
souls, it is fitting that they profess their love for one
another. We gather here today to be witnesses to this marriage
of these two beloved friends who are already one in spirit.
Who gives the bride to be married?
Family answers- We do, I do, Her
mother and I do, Her family does.
Groom- Repeat after me: I choose you
__________to be my wife and my partner. I promise to honor and
respect you and to make our home a haven for you. I promise

sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, in good time and
in bad. I promise to love you, to comfort you in tiles of
stress, to laugh with you and cry with you. I will cherish you
for the rest of my life
A ring, like a circle, is a symbol of
the sun, the earth, and the universe. It represents wholeness
and perfection, peace and love. We wear it on the third finger
because ancient Greeks believed that a vein from that finger
goes directly to the heart. It symbolizes your journey together
and your love for one another.
Who holds the ring?
Groom- Repeat after me. - I give you
this ring as a symbol of our love. With it I make you my wife,
and give you my body, my heart, and my soul.

Eight
To the family and friends of_________
and _________, we welcome you here today to share with them, the
vows that will unite them as husband and wife. Let us join our
love and our support of this couple as they begin their lives
together.
Marriage is one of the most important
obligations that any two people commit to during their lifetime.
Marriage offers the greatest challenges to overcome, but in
return marriage also offers the greatest love, strength, and
support from one another. It is the couple that perseveres and
demonstrates unrelenting patience and faith that obtains the
highest form of happiness within their marriage.
A good marriage is dependent on
respect and friendship for one another. Your love for each other
and the willingness to accept each other’s strong and weak
points with understanding is the foundation for a strong
marriage.
The vows that you exchange, serve as a
pledge to each other. We know that it is not the words that bind
you together as one, but it is the inner sense of love and
commitment that each of you feel within your being, for the
other.

Religious Wedding Ceremony
Three
Dearly beloved, we gather together
today, here in the presence of God and this company to join
__________and ____________in the holy bonds of matrimony.
Marriage is an institution ordained by God who created man and
placed him in the midst of a beautiful garden, rich in the
earth’s choicest fruits. He gave him blessed employment, free
from anxiety and toil, in caring for the garden. At first man
was alone, having no human associate and helper. Birds and bees
and all of the living creatures on earth could not bring him
satisfaction. God s noted man’s incompleteness and lack of
perfect happiness apart from woman. Now follows the beautiful
story of the forming of woman from the side of man.
Let us not forget the great lessons
God would teach us by this story. Let us look at the proper
relations between a husband and a wife. “ that she was not made
out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be
trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected and near his heart to be loved.
When god made woman, he made her to be man’s helper and
companion. “I will make for him a helper, as his counterpart,”
said God. What nobler mission could woman desire than this? This
is no tie on earth so binding and so sacred as that, which binds
men and women in the holy bonds of matrimony. One must not enter
such a relationship thoughtlessly, insincerely, or indiscreetly,
but entered advisedly, thoughtfully, and in the love of God.
Who gives this bride?
Officiate to the bride- Repeat after
me- I take you to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from
this day forward, for better or worse, richer or poorer, in
sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us
part and therein I pledge you my faith and my love.
Officiate to the bride- Repeat after
me. Since we have been together, you have provided me with
strength, security, confidence, honesty, love, and plenty of
much needed guidance. Where there was cold, you have brought
warmth and where my life was dark, you brought me light. In my
darkest trouble, in my coldest silence, I looked for you and you
were there. You are truly my knight in shining armor. You may
not realize it, but you have helped me and saved me in so many
ways and I love you for that. You honor me by having me as your
wife and you make me proud to have you as my husband. I believe
God meant us to be together and I will always love you with all

Dearly beloved, we are gathered her in
the sight of God and before His Church to witness the union of
this man and this woman in holy matrimony. God instituted and
blessed this honorable estate that ___________(groom) and
_______________(bride) wish to enter.
Right now ___________(groom) and
____________(bride)
are fulfilled by an appreciation of
each other, without pretence or disguise. But from this, you
will create commitments of honesty and a unity of purpose. These
commitments, expressed in your promise to love, honor and
cherish are of a solemn nature and we cannot take them lightly.
We would do well to remember daily, the words found in your
wedding vows.
Love is far more than a physical or
emotional thing. Love describes a very special relationship
between a man and a woman, one built on shared experiences
within the marriage contract.
Honor speaks to the high esteem in
which you hold each other and the respect that you have for one
another. Honor speaks to the way that you respond to each other
in bad times as well as the good times.
And finally, cherish is indicated by
the value that you place on one another and your marital
relationship and that you hold each other as the dearest one in
your life. It means that you will build each other up and in all
things, encourage each other without demanding.
So now I ask ______________, (groom)
do you take?
________________(bride) to be your
lawful wedded wife; to love, honor, and cherish her in sickness
and in health and to forsake all others, keeping yourself only
for her?
So now I ask ______________, (bride)
do you take

me and place the ring on the ring finger. ______________(bride),

remembrance of our vows.
Officiate to the bride- Repeat after
me and place the ring on the ring finger. ______________(groom),
I give you this symbol of my pledge for a faithful love and

Officiate- Will you please hold hands?
With the joining of your hands you are
taking upon yourselves the relationship of husband and wife. You
have promised to love, honor, and cherish each other as such.
You have come here as two individuals
and you will leave her as one, united by marriage. May nothing
in life come in-between you to sever this bond. May all of your
loved ones, here and away, always enjoy the warmth of your love.
And now, in accordance with the laws
of the state of __________ and with the authority vested in me,
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
The almighty and gracious God
abundantly grant you His favor and sanctify and bless you with
the blessings given to Adam and Eve in paradise, that you may
please Him in both body and soul and live together in holy love
until your live’s end.
You may seal the promises you have now
made with a kiss.

Dearly beloved, we are assembled here
in the presence of God, to join
__________(groom)_and__________(bride) in holy marriage, which

sanctified marriage for the welfare and happiness of mankind.
Our Savior has declared that a man shall leave his father and
his mother and cleave unto his wife.
By his apostles, He has instructed
those who enter into this relationship to cherish a mutual
esteem and love; to bear with each other’s infirmities and
weaknesses; and to comfort each other in sickness, trouble, and
sorrow; in honesty and industry to provide for each other, and
for their household, in temporal things; to pray for and
encourage each other in things which pertain to God and to live
together as the heirs of the grace of life.
Officiate- Ho gives this bride to be
married this day?

Divine Love.

I give you this ring as a pledge of the sincerity of my vows
(Bride places ring on groom’s ring finger.)
Officiate- The soul of marriage can be
a trusting place where two people can come together, safe from
the struggles of the world, accepted and loved. Or it can be a
battleground where two ego lock in a lifelong struggle for
supremacy, a battle which is for the most part invisible to the
rest of the world. If you are to have the trusting place in your
marriage, you must toward it by cultivating your mutual
interests and aspirations.
I further charge you as a Christian
man and woman, to invite Jesus Christ to take His rightful place
as lord of your lives, individually and together. You are not to
live selfishly as single persons do, protecting their own right,
making your own plans, but rather as the apostle tells us. “ Be
subject to one another out of reverence for Christ, and truly,
the more each of you loves Jesus Christ, the richer will be your
love for one another. He says
Love is patient and kind, love is not
jealous or boastful, and it is not arrogant or rude. Love does
not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it
does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in right. Love bears all
things, believes all things, hopes in all things, and endures in
all things. Love never fails.
For as much as ____________(groom) and
_______________(bride) have consented together in holy wedlock

God hath joined together, let no man put asunder, The Lord bless
you and keep you. The Lord makes His face shine upon you; and be
gracious unto you; the Lord lifts up His countenance upon you,
and give you peace, both now and everlasting. Amen.
You may kiss your bride
It is my happy privilege to
congratulate and introduce you as Mr. and Mrs. _____________.

Arizona, it is my honor and my joy to pronounce you husband and
wife.
Officiate to the groom- You may now kiss your
bride.
May I be the first to present you to your
family and guests as Mr. And Mrs.__________________________.
We have been invited by
_____________and_______________to celebrate with them, the
joining in Christian love of their lives and hearts. This is
possible because of the love God has created in them, through
Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “ I am come that they might have life
and that they might have it more abundantly.” This abundant life
comes from god who proved His love for us by giving His Son that
we might partake of this life.
Another way that God provides for this
‘full” life is creating those who will love us. This couple has
found each other. It is not the ceremony that will join this
couple but God’s love and grace.

with demonstrate this love by giving themselves, one to the

Dearly Beloved, we gather today before
God to witness and to celebrate the marriage of _______and
__________in Holy Matrimony. This is a defining moment in the
growth of their life and love together. Through this love, they
have enriched their life and have made each stronger in their
faith. Having found each other and establishing this loving
relationship, they have come here today to sanctify it and give
it special meaning. This is not a magic service or a tool to
build a relationship, but rather reinforce the relationship they
have already. It is a time to tie a knot in the rope of days
they have spent together and say “we will not slip backward from
here, but will move forward from this day forward, together.
It is the time for vows and intentions. This is their day to
declare the promise that they will face uncertainty together,
the love for one another, and their desire to be together all
the days of their lives.
The Apostle Paul wrote’ If I speak
with the tongues of humans and angels, but have not love, I am
but a sounding gong or a tinkling cymbal. Love is patient and
is kind. It does not envy. It is not proud. Love is not rude,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. Love keeps no
record of wrongs. It does not rejoice in evil, but delights in
the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
and always preserves. Love never fails. Now abide faith, hope,
and love; but the greatest of these is love. ___________and
__________, you have heard the Bible’s definition of love. It is
a high and lofty one, but the only one worthy of efforts. I
invite you now to state publicly your promises to live together
with this kind of pure love for one another.
Groom-I, _____, take you ______, to be my wedded wife. To have
and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in
sickness or in health, to love and to cherish from this day
forward till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my
faithfulness.
Bride- I, _____, take you ______, to be my wedded husband. To
have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this

faithfulness.
Officiate to the groom- Repeat after me.
I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.

We learn from the inspired word that
the Lord Jesus honored the marriage ceremony with His presence
working there the beginning of His miracles. These miracles
indicate that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, the
Sovereign and the Creator of the universe and the wedding
ceremony was the first used to demonstrate this glorious fact.
The Bible which is the Word of God declares marriage to be
honorable. It was ordained of God during the time of man’s
innocence before he sinned against the Lord. Since marriage is a
divine institution, it is to be entered into soberly and
discreetly, as in His sight.
God Himself united the first members
of the human family, which fact along abolishes all frivolous
views of marriage. The bridegroom and bride are to be partnera
in life, each forsaking mother and father to cleave unto the
other. They share a common name, a united household, a common
experience, and a love which blesses and transcends all cares
and trials of life. These vows are to be broken only by death.
Officiate to the groom- Do you
______________take_____________to be your lawful and wedded
wife?
Groom- I do
Officiate to groom- Do you promise to
love, to cherish, to honor, to protect, forsaking all others, in
sickness as well as in health, in adversity as well as in
prosperity, for better or for worse, and to cleave only to her
so long as you both shall live?
Groom- I do
Officiate to the bride- Do you
______________take_____________to be your lawful and wedded
husband?
Bride- I do
Officiate to bride- Do you promise to
love, to cherish, to honor, forsaking all others, in sickness as
well as in health, in adversity as well as in prosperity, for
better or for worse, and to cleave only to him so long as you
both shall live?
Bride- I do
Officiate- Who giveth ______to be
married to _____________?
Bride’s Father- Her mother and I do
Officiate to groom- What token do you
give to show that you will faithfully perform these vows?
Groom A ring
Officiate- The circle which forms this
ring is the emblem of eternity and the beautiful metal out of
which it is made is the type that will least tarnish and be the
most enduring. It is to show how lasting and imperishable, the
faith now mutually pledged is to be.
Officiate to the groom- Place the ring
on _________’s finger and repeat after me.
With this ring, I pledge myself to
thee with all the affections of my heart, so long as we both
shall live.
Officiate to bride- What token do you
give to show that you will faithfully perform these vows?
Bride-A ring
Officiate to the bride- Place the ring
on _________’s finger and repeat after me.
With this ring, I pledge myself to
thee with all the affections of my heart, so long as we both
shall live.
Let us unite in prayer. We thank thee,
Heavenly Father, for this home that is now called into existence
and ask Thy blessings upon _________________and ____________all
the days of their lives. We ask that as they unite into one
family, they will glorify Thee. We ask that they will serve
Thee and that their lives together might present the glorious
truth of God’s Word, the union of Christ, and the Church. Bless
them to this end, for we ask it in the name of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The scripture declares love is
forbearing and kind; love knows no jealously, love does not
brag, is not conceited. Love is not unmannerly, nor selfish,
nor irritable, nor mindful of wrongs. Love does not rejoice in
injustice, but joyfully sides with the truth. Love can overlook
faults and is full of trust, hope, and endurance. Lover never
fails.
Having heard the pledges of your
affection, and the vows of your fidelity, I do therefore by
virtue of the authority invested in me by the laws of the state
of ______________, before God, whose grave to you is unmeasured,
and before these witnesses, I pronounce you husband and wife,
and what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.
You may kiss your bride.
Ladies and Gentlemen, May I present to
you Mr. and Mrs. _________________

Renewal Vows Ceremony
Marriage Vow Renewal
Entrance Processional- Husband
escorts his wife down the aisle and faces the minister. The minister opens the service
with this prayer.
Dear Lord in the New Testament you
say that wherever two or more of us are joined in your Name
that You will be there also. We humbly pray that You would
join us now as
________________and______________stand before You today to
renew and reaffirm their vows of love and marriage. Please
be with them, and let this union continue to endure and
progress in the love they have for each other. Amen.
Minister- Dearly beloved, we are
gathered here today to reaffirm the vows of love and
marriage that exists between ____________and
_______________. Marriage is a most honorable estate
created by our Lord signifying unto us the mystical union
between a man and a woman; this union also exists between
Christ and His Church. So to may this marriage be adorned
also by a true and everlasting love that we pray shall
continue though eternity.
When Christ performed His miracle
at the wedding of Cana in Galilee by turning water into
wine, He showed the world His respect for this Holy
Sacrament. The Bible commends marriage for all people to
honor.
Bible reading from Corinthians:
Love endures and is kind
Love is not envious or jealous
Love wants not for itself
Love is not puffed up, nor does it
behave wrongly
Love seeks not for its own
Love is not easily provoked
Love is not rude
Love thins no evil
Love does not rejoice in wrong,
but dwells in the truth
Love bears all things, believes
all things, endures all things
And love never fails
The union of husband and wife is
one of the heart, mind, and body. The Lord intended this
union for their mutual joy, for the help and comfort give to
one another in times of prosperity and adversity. The union
grows as the couple becomes one in more and more ways on a
growing basis as their love for one another expands.
God gives us life as individuals.
We must learn how to live with one another. As a married
couple, we must learn is how to live together. Our family
and friends give love to us and we learn to love by
receiving this love. Learning to love and leaning to live
together are two of life’s greatest challenges. This is the
goal of a married life.
But the husband and wife should
not confuse the love of worldly measures, for even if they
find worldly success, only love can hold a marriage
together. Mankind did not create love; God created love and
teaches it to us. The measure of a true love is one that one
gives freely and freely accepted, just as God’s gives his
love to us, freely and unconditionally. Today is a glorious
day that God has made as you reaffirm your love and vows for
each other. Both of you are blessed with god’s greatest gift
of all, an abiding and true love of each other, and the
reward of a life long companionship that entered your life
through the love in your lives. As you travel through this
life together, remember it was love that got you here. It is
love that will continue in your lives and it is love that
cause this union to endure. I ask that you guard your heart
and your love for one another, and hold it tight in your
souls.

"The significance of
the flower communion is that as no two flowers are alike, so
no two people are alike, yet each has a contribution to
make. Together the different flowers form a beautiful
bouquet.
The Rose Ceremony
During the
rose ceremony, the bride and groom exchange roses after
the officiate speaks
about the rose being a symbol of love. He reminds the couple
to always remember the significance of the red rose.
"The significance of
the flower communion is that as no two flowers are alike, so
no two people are alike, yet each has a contribution to
make.
Make in
your home, a special place for red roses and that on each
wedding anniversary, you celebrate it, by each bringing a
red rose to this special place. Red roses can also be used
during difficult times of a marriage to remind each partner
of the vows they speak today. This service can be inserted
into any wedding ceremony following the pronouncement as man
and wife.
Officiate-
You have already given the gift of your wedding rings which
is an outward sign of your love and commitment to one
another and taken on the title of husband and wife. As your
first gift as husband and wife, you will now present to your
partner, a single red rose. The red rose is a symbol of love
and a single rose means, “I love you.”
You may now exchange a kiss.
The bride and groom may give these roses their new mother in
law on the way out following the wedding.
ROSE FOR THE MOTHERS CEREMONY
Giving a rose
to the mothers and/or grandmothers is usually done at the
beginning of the wedding ceremony. The bride presents the
rose to the mother of the groom and the groom presents the
flower to the mother of the bride. This part of the service
can be presented by the wedding officiate who says, “
"We
come here today, not only to join these two beloved souls in
marriage, but also as a celebration of the joining of two
unique families. Today we unite these families by the
marriage of ___________and_____________ who would like to
honor the joining of their families, with the giving of a
rose to their mothers. They would also like to aknowledge
the love and sacrifices that each mother has made to make
her children who they are today, a man and woman who are
ready to be in a committed, loving marriage of their own."
(Bride and Groom, together, present a rose to each mother)
SAND BLENDING
CEREMONY
The "Blending of the Sands"
ceremony is a beautiful alternative to the " unity ceremony.
Unlike the Unity Candle which is always a question with
outdoor ceremonies, the sand blending is always safe and
secure and not disturbed by a windy day. This is a perfect
ceremony for both a couple and also a couple with children.
Each member of the newly formed family pours into a common
container a different colored sand symbolizing the joining
of each person into a new family group.
This ceremony requires small
vials of colored sand for the bride and groom and every
child if children are involved. The colored sands represent
the lives of each one participating in the sand blending
ceremony. The blended sand can be used later to display or
as a base of fresh flowers after the wedding.
The sand can be purchased at
most arts and craft stores. Sand can also be poured from
small seashells into a beautiful container. Finding the
containers is an opportunity for the bride-to-be to use her
creativity. Have your names and your wedding date etched in
the glass bottle prior to the ceremony. The combined sand is
a perfect wedding keepsake for the bride and groom to
remember their vows made on their wedding day.
THE LOVING CUP CEREMONY
The use of the wine cup or
Loving Cup at a wedding is an ancient tradition. In the 15th
century Celtic people toasted each other with a ceremonial
Loving Cup. Scots called this cup a quaich, from the Celtic
word cuach, meaning cup. The Loving Cup ceremony is also
found in Irish and Jewish cultures. Loving Cups come in many
designs, shapes, sizes and colors with two handles setting
it apart from all others. Some couples choose use a glass
cup and etch their names and the date of their wedding. The
purpose of the Loving Cup ceremony is for the bride and
groom to share their first drink together as wife and
husband and to show the joining together of two families.
This cup brings happiness and good luck as it is passed down
from generation to generation. This is a special moment for
the couple to toast their love, devotion, and friendship.
This dialogue can be inserted
into any wedding ceremony following the pronouncement of
husband and wife.
Officiate- The wine represents
the years of life you have lived. It is sweet and symbolizes
the happiness, joy, and love you have shared. The wine
also has some bitterness and symbolizes life’s trials and
tribulations. Together, they symbolize "Life’s Journey" and
all of the experiences you have shared separately. Now, you
will share the wine from this Loving Cup telling the world
that you will share all things, good and bad from this day
forward with love and understanding.
Officiate pours wine into the
Loving Cup and holds it up.
Officiate-This cup of
wine is symbolic of the cup of life. As you all share the
wine from the Loving Cup, you undertake to share all that
the future may bring. It represents the blessing given and
passed on to each participant in this ceremony. Things that
are sweet will be magnified for the two of you will share
them. Things that are bitter will be less for the two of you
will share them.
Drink now, and may the cup of your lives be sweet and
running over with blessings.
The bride and groom sip wine from the wedding cup and
hand it back to the officiate.
Officiate- Sip to the love that you have shared in the
past.
Couple sips.
Officiate- Sip to the moment that two shall become one.
Couple sips.
Officiate- Sip to your future
and the love that will grow with each passing day.
Couple sips.
Officiate- Just as you have
shared this wine from the Loving Cup, so you will share your
lives, exploring the mysteries of love and seeing the
reflection of the love contained in each of your souls for
as it is said, “ From love all things come and unto love
must they return. May you find joy in your lives and have
many days together in your lives journey.
The Loving Cup ceremony can end
here or the Anam Cara can be added on.
Anam Cara
The
Anam Cara is the Celtic version of a soul mate. The words
translate from the Gaelic as “soul friend.” Anam cara is
translated from the Gaelic as "soul friend." When one
joins with their anam cara, they are part of an ancient rite
and joined forever with their soul mate. The bride and
groom holding the loving cup repeat this promise to each
other together.
Anam Cara
Today I recognize you, my anam cara
And ask that you become a part of me, in sacred kinship.
With you, I have lost all fear and have found the greatest
courage.
I have learned to love and let myself be loved.
With you, I have found a rhythm of grace and gracefulness.
Love has reawakened in my life; a rebirth; a new beginning.
With you my anam cara,
I am understood, I am home.

THE LASSO CEREMONY
This tradition is usually
associated with Hispanic and Filipino families. The Lasso
comes down through Hispanic and Filipino families, sometimes
called a “lazzo.” This beaded rope is placed around the
bride and groom's shoulders after their vows to symbolize
their everlasting union. Lasso (sometimes called, "lazo") or
rope is placed around the bride and groom's shoulders
(groom's shoulder's first) in the form of an "8" (the
infinity symbol) after they have exchanged their vows - to
symbolize their everlasting union. If the new family
includes children they should be included inside the lasso.
Either the officiate or the families put the lasso around
the couple which they wear for the entire ceremony. The
lasso is then taken off and given to the bride as her
reminder of her marriage. Lassos are made from beads,
ribbons, flowers, or any other forms of decoration.
Officiate- The Lasso is a
wedding ritual in which _________and________ are bound
together with a ceremonial rope. Each have consented to the
Lassoing symbolically stating that they are marrying of
their own free will. It is symbolic also of the two
separate lives that have now become one. Marriage is an
eternal and sacred bond to which you are entering today.
You are not only making your vows before each other but you
are also making those vows before God.
Hold hands and looking into the eyes of your partner,
answer together these questions.
Bride and groom- We will

or family member place the lasso in the form of a
lemniscate, the horizontal eight, and
the symbol of infinity around the couple.
Officiate-You are bound together now and forever.
The Officiate blesses the couple and removes the lasso
and gives it to the couple.
THIRTEEN COIN CEREMONY
This custom began in Spain and
carried on usually in Hispanic weddings. It is a symbolic
ceremony where the groom signifies he will support her
and turns over his possessions to his
bride for safekeeping and showing his trust in her and his
willingness to support his new family. Acceptance by the
bride shows that she accepts his trust and promises to
handle his estate with honesty and thriftiness. They are
carried in a ornate box or tray, or sometimes carried in a
special heirloom bag and are presented to the bride and
passed down generation to generation.
According to oral tradition, the
number 13 represents Christ and his 12 apostles. Some
believe that the thirteen coins represent the 12 lunar
cycles of a year, and the thirteenth coin symbolizes the
couple's honeymoon.
Smashing of the
Glass Ceremony
The smashing of the glass at the
end of a wedding comes from the Jewish tradition and said to
recall the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. Over time
the meaning has broadened and today the officiate also
relates the following: The glass symbolizes the marriage and
like the glass, a marriage can never return to its pristine
condition once the vows the couple makes are broken. One
moment of indiscretion, deceit, or dishonesty between the
couple shatter the marriage like the glass is shattered,
with pieces that can never be put back together.
On a
lighter note, some say that smashing the glass will be the
last time the groom will every put his foot down. Following
the “You may now kiss your bride”, the best man sets the
glass wrapped in a towel on the ground before the groom who
then smashes it with his foot which brings laughter and
clapping from the guests and the yelling of "Mazel
Tov."
JUMPING THE BROOM AND OR THE SWORD
This tradition of jumping the broom is traced back to
the African American culture. According to this tradition
the jumping symbolic of the jumping into a new life and a
new family with the broom symbolic of sweeping away their
past.
A very similar tradition comes
from the Celtic ceremony of jumping the sword. Some Celtic
hand fasting ceremonies use both the sword and the broom
which are carried to the altar
by the bride and the groom. The bride carries the
broom and the sword is carried to the altar by
the groom. They lay them first, the broom and then the
groom cross the broom with his sword, showing his protection
of her. Following the wedding service, the couple jump over
the sword/and or broom as they leave the altar. In this
tradition, the act is a symbol of the first work that the
bride and groom perform as a couple in the life they have
agreed to share.
planting a tree?
Most Jewish weddings conclude with the groom stamping on
a glass wrapped in a cloth. This unusual ritual has its
roots deep in Jewish history and identity. The
glass-smashing ceremony often concludes the wedding service,
and the successful smashing is heralded by shouts of “Mazel
tov!” and general rejoicing
Several different meanings have been devised for the
ceremony. One interpretation is that the fragility of the
glass symbolizes the fragility of trust, commitment and love
that make up a marriage; the implication being that couples
must be careful not to 'smash' those qualities. Another view
is that the breaking of the glass is a break with the past:
the marriage is to last as long as the glass remains broken,
ie. forever. Breaking the glass may also be a reminder to
the wedding guests not to get drunk and forget themselves at
the wedding reception. Jewish men may also joke at the
wedding that this is the last time the groom gets to 'put
his foot down'!
THE CIRCLING CEREMONY
Called Hakafot, the custom is
taken from the Jewish tradition. The bride and groom are
married under the huppah, a canopy over the place where
couple stands. The father of the bride escorts his daughter
to the altar where the groom waits. She leaves her father
and circles the groom seven times symbolizing that the groom
is the center of her world. The number seven corresponds to
the seven marriage blessings bestowed on the bride and the
groom.
BUTTERFLY RELEASE
CEREMONY
According to
Chinese tradition, the release of two butterflies that fly
away together are the symbol of love and correlate to the
Chinese story called Butterfly Lovers. The
butterfly has long been the symbol of rebirth and new life.
Releasing the butterfly are done following the ceremony and
often just after the couple is introduced as husband and
wife.
Just a few
safeguards for the safety of the butterflies need to be
adhered too. Release the butterflies only during daylight
hours and never on a rainy day. Be sure the temperate is
above 65 to 70 degrees and not later than two hours before
sunset allowing them time to eat and find a place to hide
for the night. Protect them from a strong wind.
WHITE DOVE RELEASE
Called white doves, the
universal symbol of peace and love, the birds that are used
for a wedding release is the white homing pigeon The bird
was chosen as the symbol of love because the white dove
chooses its mate for life. They are released at the end of
the wedding and add a romantic and touching tone to the
ceremony. The birds can be ordered through most pet
stores.
THE HAND BLESSING
CEREMONY ONE
The bridal couple hold hands for this ceremony and speak to each
other.
Groom-These are the hands that will protect you and keep you from harm. These are the hands that will provide for you and care
for you as their most treasured friend. These are the hands that will wipe away your tears, tears
of sorrow and tears of joy and will be there to help you up
when you fall. These are the hands that will hold you like
no other. These hands I give to you
Bride- These are the hands that will hold you and shower you with love. These are the hands that will partner with you
to raise our family These are the hands that will support
you Through the good times and the bad and touch with a
tenderness as no other.
These hands I give to you.
Officiate- May the feeling you
feel at this moment be relived every day of your lives and
bring with them the blessings of health, wealth, and
happiness.
HAND CEREMONY TWO
These are the hands
of his best friend,
young and strong and
full of love for
you. You hold these
hands on their
wedding day as you
promise to love each
other today,
tomorrow and
forever. These are
the hands that will
collaborate with it,
as together
constructing its
future. These are
the hands that
passionately love

comfort you like no
other. And when
these hands are old
and wrinkled, still
reach for yours. Our
prayer for you today
is that you two use
these hands to build
a life where all the
dreams come true.
UNITY CANDLE
This ceremony can be
added to any
service.
The Unity Candle
Ceremony can be done
in several ways and
should be adapted to
suit the
circumstances of the
bridal couple.
Sometimes the
mothers of the bride
and groom are asked
to light the single
candles which
according to the
wind., if the
ceremony is held
outside, will happen
before the service
begins or if
necessary due to the
wind conditions be
lit just before the
Unity Candle
Ceremony.
If you are
creating a new
family you may want
to include the
children in the
lighting of the
Unity Candle. Often
this is done by
having the bride and
groom light the
candle for the
children and then
everyone lighting
the center candle
together. This is an
excellent way to
involve children
from a previous
marriage
The bridal couple
can invite
grandparents or
other special people
in their life to
join them in this
symbolic gesture.
The
Unity Candle
ceremony requires
two tapered candles
and one large center
candle. Due to wind
concerns it it is an
outdoor wedding, a
glass container
should be
considered. The
candles can be any
color, but are
usually white. The
ceremony has no
religious leanings.
UNITY CANDLE
READING ONE
Officiate Reads- The
two outside candles
on the table are lit
to represent your
lives up to this
moment. They are two
distinct lights,
which are capable of
going their separate
ways. To bring
the happiness our
Creator designed for
your home, there
must be a merging of
these two lights
into one light.
From now on, your
thoughts shall be
for each other,
rather than for your
individual selves.
Your plans shall be
mutual, your joys
and sorrows shall be
shared. As you each
take a candle and
together light the
center one, and
extinguish your own
candles, you will be
allowing the center
candle to represent
the union of your
lives into one
flesh. As this one
light cannot be
divided, neither
shall your lives be
divided. May
the radiance of this
one light be a
testimony of your
love and your unity
within your
marriage.
UNITY CANDLE
READING TWO
The two outer
candles represent
your individual
lives before today.
They represent all
that you are from
your vast
experiences, and
they represent your
individual families.
As you each take a
single candle and
light the center
candle. From now on
their thoughts shall
be for each other
rather than for
yourself. Joys and
sadness will darken
your life together,
but you will not
face this alone. You
will share the joy
and help life the
burden of sorrow.
As the light cannot
be separated,
neither shall your
lives be divided and
you will bask in the
light of the Lord.
The couple hold
hand after lighting
the candle and walk
around the table and
back to the wedding
officiate. This is
symbolic of their
first life's journey
together.
THE WEDDING WISH BALLOON CEREMONY
Following the wedding, a balloon can be
released by the bridal couple. Sometimes each guest is
given a balloon to which is attached a card with the name and
address of the bridal couple with a note asking that the card be
returned along with where the card was found. Also on the card
is written by each guest, their wish for the newly married
couple. The bridal couple releases their balloons first and as
the helium filled balloon soar to the heights, the guests all
release their balloons. This is a sight that will not soon be
forgotten.
UNITY WATER CEREMONY
Traditionally
couples perform this Unity Water Ritual at the end of their
wedding ceremony signifying they are joined in marriage.
The water
ceremony is a take off from the sand blending ceremony when
water is substituted for the colored sand. The bride and groom
pour a colored water from separate vessels into one container that
symbolizes their unbreakable union. Food coloring,
powdered tempera Acrylic, latex paints, RIT®,
Tintex, and coloring matter which will mix with water are also
suitable. Do not use oil-base products since oil and water do
not mix. If children are
involved in the new family, they can also be brought up to be a
part of the ceremony. The water is a purifier that washes
away the past and makes everything new and fresh for the future.
Groom-______________holds the container of yellow water. Yellow
is the color of sunshine. The color yellow represents joy and
happiness. It also stands for wisdom.
Bride -______________holds the container of blue water.
Blue represents confidence, trust. and faithfulness.
Officiate- As we look at the empty vessel before you, we are
reminded about the life you are about to begin. This is the
moment of a new beginning for each of you. From this
moment you will create a new relationship that of husband and
wife.
Groom____ ____ as you pour your yellow water into the container
you bring sunshine and wisdom to your marriage. And (bride)________as
you pour your blue water into the marriage vessel, you bring
confidence, trust and loyalty to your marriage.
The blending of the yellow and blue water creates green
representing the blending of your lives together as one. The
color green represents stability, endurance, growth and harmony.
May your marriage always reflect these qualities. May your
energies in this marriage blend just as equally as your give
freely of yourself while honoring the greatness of each other.
MEMORIAL CANDLE
Memorial candles can also be lit prior to the beginning of the
service by either the bridal couple or a family member.
Provide a second table at the altar or near the front of the
church. On it, place a
Memorial Candle in tribute to your loved ones.
Any color candle can be used. A picture of the person you want
to honor can be glued on the candle and your officiate can
mention their name as the bridle couple lights them. A
while or pink taper candle can also be set up with a picture of
our loved one.
Renewal Vows
Wedded couples might see t reaffirm their
commitment to once another with a renewal of vows ceremony,
celebrating their romance with loved ones, family and friends.
Wedding vows are a personal and profound part of any marriage ceremony,
so renewing vows is a special way to commemorate an
anniversary, celebrate with loved ones, and mark special
times in a husband and wife's life together. Couples may
choose to renew their wedding vows for many reasons and in
many different ways.
Reasons to Renew Wedding Vows
Every couple has a different reason for reaffirming their
marriage in this special way. Some of the most popular
include:
-
Celebrating a special anniversary
-
As an excuse to throw a party for family and friends
who may not have been able to attend the original
wedding (e.g. if the wedding was in a foreign country or
was a small, private ceremony)
-
To have a religious marriage if the original wedding
was a civil ceremony, or vice versa
-
Couples who were married while attending university,
or just out of high school, may want to celebrate in
style now that their budget and lifestyle allow it
-
Couples who have been through challenging times
together and want to renew their commitment to one
another
Whatever the reason, renewing wedding vows can be a
romantic and profound symbol of an enduring
Spanish
Ceremonies
Typically, ceremonies
that have Spanish speaking guests are done
in both Spanish and English. The officiant
conducts the ceremony in English - one
paragraph at a time - and the couple select
someone to read the same paragraph in
Spanish… In this way everyone understands
the ceremony and the overall effect is quite
nice.
