May they always have a special sense of their purpose together and may they never tire of the endless possibilities of exploring their shared existence. This light is a symbol of the light that you have together as you join hearts and minds toward one life together. Now we will hear readings by Wanda Mills and Barbara Gessner. Today you both begin a lifelong relationship always in the making. Marriage is a gift from God inviting you to overcome separateness, and to create a new sense of mutual trust, respect, participation, and support.
Marriage is a blessed privilege and a spiritual responsibility.
You both are adding to your life not only the affection and the response that your hearts desire, not only the happy companionship of hours together, but a deep trust as well. You are agreeing not only to live out your own spirituality, but help one another as well. You are finding in each other that which complements your life. You are agreeing to be a tower of strength to each other. Your marriage is entered under the guidance of infinite wisdom and divine love.
