The Ceremony >> Service outline: > Initial remarks, and Josh's marriage talk. And so it begins: > The Opening Question: Me: If either of you know any reason why you may not be united in marriage, I require and charge you both to confess it to each other. Hearing no reason, you may now exchange vows. > Vows: > Introductory haiku: Vows of truth be told Promises held in the heart Words of love, divine. > Cindy's vow > Mark's vow > The ring exchange: Do you have the rings? Me: These rings are circles, symbols of your love and a reminder of the vows that you have spoken to each other this day. > Ring vow: Mark to Cindy (give 'er the ring!): I give you this ring to wear as a sign of my promise to love and grow with you. Cindy to Mark (give 'em the ring!): I give you this ring to wear as a sign of my promise to love and grow with you. Me: Now that Cindy Hahn and Mark Smith have exchanged vows and rings, I pronounce that they are husband and wife. Those whom love has joined, let no one put asunder. You may kiss the bride.
