Bless, O God these rings, that he and she who give them, and he and she who wear them, may ever abide in thy peace. Living together in unity, love, and happiness with good purpose to do your will. The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love. This ring by its shape, is a symbol of the undying love that exists between you. The substance of which it is composed is a symbol of purity, which shall ever characterize your mind and hearts in all your relationships together.
Groom goes first.
The estate of wedlock is a holy one under the guidance of infinite wisdom and divine love. It is therefore fitting that we pause at this time and realize the presence of God. We thank you Lord you have brought them safely thus far on their journey. We pray that as you joined their hand and hearts together to become husband and wife that you will bless them. Pray that you will give them strength and courage as they face all the tasks and decisions that lie before them.
