Love Knot Ceremony

Sometimes called The Fisherman's Knot or Lovers Knot
Picture

Love Knot: Usually done after the ring exchange

Officiant:
 
_____ and ___ you  have just sealed your relationship with the giving and receiving of rings. Now we shall celebrate your new union as it is symbolized by the tying of a fisherman’s knot; a true lovers knot, for it is the strongest there is; its bond will not break, becoming ever stronger under pressure.

(Officiant or groomsman/designated person will hand the couple each a piece or cord, they should be 2 different colors)
 
These two cords represent your individual selves and the unique and special gifts you bring to your marriage.

Will you please tie this knot.(The couple takes the end of each other’s cord and ties them together with a fisherman’s knot)
As you fasten your pieces together, this  represent the joining  of your two lives into one common purpose. The completed knot represents your future, secure in the knowledge your relationship will continue to be strong despite the inevitable changes life brings. Although the fisherman's knot is one of the simplest to tie, it is also one of the sturdiest. As stress is applied, the knot becomes ever stronger.

It is the goal of marriage to achieve a blending of hearts and lives, but like the spaces between these cords formed by the knot, let there also be spaces in your new life together, so each may encourage and nurture the individual growth of the other.

I ask that you now pull on this rope to see it strengthen under pressure while still allowing us to see the individual cords - just as your support of one another as beautiful and blessed individuals strengthens your union. (Pull on the rope together)
 
As you hold one another in mutual concern and shared respect, may you continue holding each other tightly in your hearts and form a strong bond, now and forever. May this love knot be a reminder of the strength of your love and the binding together of your two hearts.
