PLEASE DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE CAKE CUTTING TRADITION…

THE HUSBAND AND WIFE WILL PUT THEIR HANDS TOGETHER TO SLICE THE CAKE.
THE TWO HANDS MOVING AS ONE WITH ONE PURPOSE, SYMBOLIZES THAT THE TWO WILL WORK IN

THE SHARING OF THIS FOOD SYMBOLIZES THE COUPLE’S WILLINGNESS TO FULFILL EACH OTHER’S
NEEDS, CREATING A BOND SO SIMPLE AND YET SO STRONG…

WINE CEREMONY
TO SYMBOLIZE AND CELEBRATE THE BLENDING OF YOUR TWO LIVES INTO ONE, I INVITE YOU TO
PERFORM THE WINE CEREMONY.

THE ARMS OF THE COUPLE WILL INTERTWINE AS THEY DRINK WINE.

THIS CEREMONY REPRESENTS YOUR TWO INDIVIDUAL LIVES, NOW INTERTWINED; COMBINED LIKE THE
TWO GLASSES WINE INTO ONE SINGLE LIFE. THE DRINKING OF THE COMBINED WINE SIGNIFIES THE
COMMITMENT YOU NOW MAKE TO LIVE YOUR LIVES AS ONE FAMILY. MAY YOU REMEMBER THIS DAY OF
COMMITMENT YOU HAVE SEALED WITH DRINKING OF THE NEW WINE JOINING YOUR LIVES AS ONE.

(when finished)

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE GROOM AND BRIDE.

PRAYER
IT IS SAID THAT A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE INVOLVES THREE HEARTS BECOMING ONE. THE HEARTS OF
THE HUSBAND, THE WIFE, AND GOD AT THE CENTER. SO LET US GIVE THANKS TO THE ONE WHO MADE
THIS ALL POSSIBLE, THE AUTHOR OF LIFE, LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS. OUR ONE TRUE GOD. MAY I
REQUEST THAT WE ALL STAND TO LEAD US INTO PRAYER, AND ALSO TO SAY GRACE BEFORE MEALS,
LET US WELCOME MRS. NORIE
