Rose Ceremony To Honor Mothers
Rose Ceremony To Honor Mothers
Officiant:
We gather here today, in the presence of God and friends to join Groom and Bride in matrimony. We celebrate the coming together in love of this woman and this man. We remember that marriage is a time when growing love is made public, when two people share mutual promises before God and before us. We join in our support of them as they offer themselves to each other. We celebrate their joy, their love and their expectations.
Groom and Bride would like to thank each one of you for sharing this happiest of days with them. They would also like to acknowledge those who are here in spirit today, especially _____and ____, whose love and support will be felt by Groom and Bride always.
Invocation (this is the beginning prayer to “invoke” or ask god to be present and bless this service)
Officiant:
Let us pray
God, for the joy of this occasion we thank you. For the meaning of this wedding day we thank you. For this important moment in an ever growing relationship we thank you. For your presence here and now and for your presence at all times, we thank you.
Groom and Bride, today you stand before us ready to share the rest of your lives together as a married couple.
But long before today your parents provided you with a foundation of love and caring which has brought you to this point.
At this time Groom and Bride would like to acknowledge the love and sacrifice that each mother has made to make their children who they are today….a man and a woman who are ready to be committed, in a loving marriage of their own… They honor their mothers with the symbolic gift of beauty, the giving of a rose.
(Bride and groom each present a rose to their mother-then return in front of officiant)
