Josh and Tiff, May 19th, 2007, Whitesboro, NY
Processional
Rev. Welcome everyone, we are here today to celebrate the joining in marriage of Joshua and Tiffany. They have chosen to mark their commitment to each other with an exchange of vows and we ask that all those here present support them in their marriage and in their efforts to uphold those vows for each other, their friends, their family, and their community.
Who gives this woman to this man?
Grandfather - 'I do'
Rev - with your blessing we shall proceed.
Please face each other...
Joshua and tiffany have chosen as a symbol of their love, a gift of a single red rose, in the hop that they always remember the joy of true and abiding love within their marriage.
In every marriage there are difficult times when you just can't find the right words. It's not always easy to say 'I'm sorry' or 'I forgive you'. If this should happen, the gift of a rose shall speak for you, and this will remind you of the love that brought you here today.
Joshua to Tiffany - 'I give you this rose as a symbol of my love. When I don't have the words to remind you how much I love you, I will present you with a rose just like this one, that you may know my love for you is strong.'
Tiffany to Joshua - 'I too give you a rose as a symbol of my love. When I don't have the words to remind you how much I love you, I will present you with a rose just like this one, that you may know my love for you is strong.'
Exchange roses.
Rev. - rings are a symbol of eternal love, they have no beginning and no end, in this way Joshua and tiffany choose to mark their union as husband and wife, May I have the rings......
