“Dearly Beloved, We are
gathered here today in the sight of God, to celebrate
one of life's greatest moments."
“Who is it that brings this woman to this man.” "Her
Mother and I.”
"Marriage is an honorable estate, created by God, and
signifying unto us the mystical union between a man and
a woman, which also exists between Christ and the
Church.”
“Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name, only love will maintain
a marriage. Mankind did not create love, love is created
by God."
"Love is freely given and freely accepted, just as God's
love of us is unconditional and free.”
“As you travel through life together, I caution you to
remember that the true measure of success, the true
avenue to joy and peace, is to be found within the love
you hold in your hearts. I would ask that you hold the
key to your heart very tightly.”

CORINTHIANS 13
“A marriage ceremony represents one of life's greatest
commitments, but also is a declaration of love. I wish
to read to you what Paul wrote of love in a letter to
the Corinthians.”
“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 self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never
fails”
EXCHANGE OF RINGS
“Wedding rings are an outward and visible sign of an
inward spiritual grace, signifying to all the uniting of
this man and this woman in marriage.”
"Groom’s Name place the ring on Bride’s Name, and repeat
after me."
"With this ring, I thee wed. In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
"Bride’s Name place the ring on Groom’s Name, and repeat
after me."
"With this ring, I thee wed. In the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
EPHESIANS
"Bride’s Name, show reverence for your own husband, as
unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the church.”
“Groom’s Name, love your wife, even as Christ also loved
the church, and gave Himself for it.“
“ For this cause shall man leave his father and mother,
and shall be joined unto his wife, and the two shall
become one flesh."

into this marriage uniting as husband and wife, and as
you this day affirm your faith and love for one another,
I would ask that you always remember to cherish each
other as special and unique individuals, that you
respect the thoughts, ideas and suggestions of one
another.”

happiness on Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name, wedding day,
as they come before You pledging their hearts and lives
to one another. Bless this union we pray, and walk
beside Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name, throughout all
their lives together. AMEN"
UNITY CANDLES
"Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name the two lighted candles
symbolize your separate lives, your separate families
and your separate sets of friends. I ask that you each
take one candle and that together you light the center
candle.”
“The individual candles represent your individual lives
before today. Lighting the center candle represents the
joining of your lives together as one , the joining
together of your families and of friends to one.”
PRONOUNCEMENT AS HUSBAND AND WIFE
“Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name in so much as the two of
you have agreed to live together in matrimony, and
promised your love for each other by these vows, the
giving of these rings and joining of your hands, I now
declare you husband and wife."
“May the Lord bless you and keep you, giving you peace,
joy and happiness throughout your lives.”

you Mr. and Mrs.______."
