Ceremony Samples
A. & J. In Estes Park
......To all their guests, they are happy to share this moment with you. You are the most important people to them. You watched them grow up, you went to school with them, played sports with them, mentored them, and worked with them. Because you are the ones who have supported them and known them so well, it is only fitting that you, the people who mean the most to them, are the ones to share their once-in-a-lifetime moment.
A wedding day is often a day when couples miss family members no longer with them. For A. and J., there are friends and family members whose memories they hold dear. A. has his Grandmother R. , and for J. it is M. and C.
~Memory Candle~
To honor those who are no longer with us, A., J., gentlemen if you would please step forward and light your memory candle, and the flame will warm our hands and hearts with the memory of those who are no longer with us. At this time, please let’s have a moment of silence for those who are remembered in the flames of these candles.
And now, let us bow our heads in prayer. Lord, we thank you again, for gathering everyone here today. We know what it took for many to be here with us today. We ask that you help A. and J. to remember the strong love that they share. To work that love into practical things so that nothing can divide them. May their love always inspire them to be kind in their words, considerate of the other’s feelings, and concerned for the other’s needs and wishes. Increase their faith and trust in You. Bless this marriage with peace and happiness and make their Love fruitful for Your glory and their joy, both here and in eternity.
Amen.
