Thus may your marriage be filled eternally with both love and mutual respect. So Mote It Be. So Mote It Be. And now, by the powers invested in me by this church, the community, and this loving couple, and by the laws of this state, which are secular and therefore transitory and thus only worth mentioning for legal purposes, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Marriage is about family, and family about fellowship.
Long has it been the tradition that when family gathers together, they break bread together. Share bread with us, and share in the prosperity of our life, and our love. Here we bring bread, grown on the back of Mother Earth, and warmed by the light of the Sun. May it satisfy the hunger of the body, as well as that of the soul. Here we bring wine, the mingled juices of many grapes.
