1. Since ancient times, the circle has been a symbol of completeness, a perfect form, with no beginning and no end. This unbroken circle symbolizes a commitment of unending love. Whenever you see these rings on your fingers, remember the commitment to love each other without end, and the vows which you have made today.
(Traditionally the bride receives her ring from the groom first)
2. Will you (Bride) take this ring from (Groom), as a symbol of his love for you and will you wear it as an expression of your love for him?
I will. Repeat for Bride.
3. What symbols do you offer that you will fulfill your wedding vows?
(Bride & Groom): These rings.
4. These wedding rings are and outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace, signifying to all the uniting of this man and this woman in marriage.
5. The wedding rings you give and receive this day are the visible symbols to everyone that you have joined as husband and wife, in marriage. Like the circle, love has no beginning and no end, no giver and no receiver. You are each the beginning and the ending, each the giver and receiver.
6. Groom, then Bride: I give this ring in remembrance of our wedding vows, a symbol of love that is complete, beautiful and endless.
7. The circle is the symbol of the sun and the earth and the universe. It is a symbol of wholeness, perfection and peace. This wedding ring is a symbol of unity and oneness in which your two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle.
8. (Groom) As I give you my solemn vows, I give this wedding ring to wear upon your hand as a symbol of our everlasting love and union in marriage.
Repeat.
10. For your wedding day, you have chosen these rings as a symbol of your marriage commitment. They are made of gold, a metal that does not tarnish and is most enduring. These rings represent the ties that bind you together as husband and wife. As circles they represent your unending marriage union, which you commit to for life.
11. (Groom) In token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love, with this ring I marry you.
Repeat.
12. (Groom) With all of the love in my heart, with this ring, I thee wed.
Repeat this wedding ring vow for Bride.
And they lived happily ever after! |
