Officiant: Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your wedding rings – which shall always show your commitment to each other. You now have the most honorable title which may exist between a man and a woman – the title of “husband” and “wife.” For your first gift as husband and wife, that gift will be a single rose. The rose is considered a symbol of love and a single rose always meant only one thing – “I love you.”

Officiant: Please exchange your first gift as husband and wife. (bride & groom exchange roses) You both have given and received one of the most valuable and precious gifts of life – one I hope you always remember – the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage.

Officiant: ______ & _____ if there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure.
