Interfaith
Ceremony
|
“Dearly Beloved, We are
gathered here today in the sight of God, to celebrate
one of life's greatest moments."
"To give recognition to the worth and beauty of love,
and to add our blessings to the words which shall unite
Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name in holy matrimony”.
“Marriage is an honorable estate, created by God, and
signifying unto us the mystical union between a man and
a woman.”
“Who is it that brings this woman to this man.” "Her
Mother and I.” “You may be seated.”
“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.”
VOWS
“Would you please face each other and join hands.”
“Groom’s Name do you take Bride’s Name to be your wife?
Do you promise to love, honor, and protect her,
forsaking all others and holding only to her?” ("I do")
“Bride’s Name do you take Groom’s Name to be your
Husband?
Do you promise to love, honor, and protect him,
forsaking all others and holding only to him?” ("I do")
“I, Groom’s Name take you Bride’s Name to be my wife. To
have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer
or for poorer, and I promise my love to you forevermore.
“
“I, Bride’s Name take you Groom’s Name to be my Husband.
To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for
richer or for poorer, and I promise my love to you
forevermore.”
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., breaking glass
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 finger and
to repeat after me, I give you this ring, as a token and
pledge, of my constant faith and abiding love."
"Bride's name, Place the ring on Groom's name finger and
to repeat after me, "I give you this ring as a token and
pledge of my constant faith and abiding love."
"By virtue of the authority vested in me under the laws
of the State of Florida, I now pronounce you husband and
wife."
CHARGE THE COUPLE
“Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name, as the two of you come
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.”
UNITY CANDLES
"Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name the two lighted candies
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 candies 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."
WINE CEREMONY
"Now, Bride’s Name and Groom’s Name will share the wine
from this goblet. This wine is dedicated to their joy
and serenity and to all of those who have come to
celebrate with them."
( Bride’s Name and Groom’s Name take a sip of the wine.
)
"As you have now sipped from the goblet of wine, so may
you in your married life bring many occasions to
celebrate and take comfort and happiness from the cup of
life."
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, have
promised your love for each other by these vows, the
giving of these rings and the joining of your hands, I
now declare you to be husband and wife."
BREAKING THE GLASS
"There are several reasons why the groom breaks the wine
goblet at the end of the wedding ceremony. It is said
that it signifies that the marriage will last longer
than it would take to put the pieces back together. And
it ushers in the outbreak of merriment so, for this
reason, after Groom’s Name shatters this glass let's all
exclaim Mazel Tov, which means: good luck!"
( Groom’s shatters glass. Everyone exclaims Mazel Tov! )
“Congratulations, you may kiss your bride."
"I present to you Mr. and Mrs. ______"
