[ Minester=M]
M: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the presence of family and friends to join together this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony, which is commended of St. Paul to be an honorable estate, instituted of God and therefore is not to be entered into unadvisedly or carelessly, but reverently, joyfully and in the love of God. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. now let us pray
we bow our head and close our eyes
M: O' Almighty God you have created us all in the image of Love, the image of Yourself. Bless now these two who stand before you. Guide them in your wisdom, shine your light upon them, that as they journey through this life together they will walk as bearers of your Truth. Amen.
we all say in Sync 'Amen' and begin to lift our head along with opening our eyes
M: Please join hands.
him and i join hand as we slightly lay palm in palm about to commit our love as i take his last name
M: I ask you each now, to repeat the marriage vows.
He takes a sharp breath starting to begin and make our love commitment
[David= D Liza=L]
D: I, David Dobrik take you, Elizabeth Koshy for my wedded wife, To love and cherish, For better or worse, for richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. From this day forward.
i hint a few breaths and wipe away a tear before it drops
L: I, Elizabeth Koshy take you, David Dobrik for my wedded husband, To love and cherish, For better or worse, for richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. From this day forward.
M: perfect. now may i have the rings, please?
he turns to where the rings have been set, placing them in his hands for Blessing
M: Bless, O Lord The Giving of these rings that they who wear them, may live in your peace and your favor all the days of their life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
we all repeat in Sync once again repeating the word 'Amen'
M: May the Lord Bless these rings which you give to each other as your sign of Love, Devotion and ever lasting peace. Amen.
we repeat 'Amen' in Sync once again
M: As you place this ring on your partner's finger I ask that you repeat these words.
D&L: This ring is my sacred gift to you, A symbol of my Love, A sign that from this day forward and always, My Love will surround you, With this ring I thee wed.
we slip the rings onto eachothers fingers and the minister begins our closing prayer
M: "Oh, eternal God Creator and preserver, Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of everlasting life; Send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in thy Name; that they, living faithfully together, may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant between them as symbolized by these rings as a token and pledge, and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together and live according to thy laws." Amen.
