西方传统婚礼上牧师的证言(3)
(Minister: then to the bride who repeats the marriage vows):I (Bride’s Name) take thee (Groom’s Name) to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish,’til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth.
(The Minister then gets the brides ring from the best man)
Minister: (praying over brides ring): Lord, bless this ring that he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in your peace, and continue in your favor until life’s end, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
(Groom: placing ring on bride’s finger):
With this ring I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.

Minister: Let us pray
Father, we pray for all married persons, that they may continue to give, be able to forgive, and experience more and more of the joy of the Lord with each passing day. And especially for (Groom’s Name) and (Bride’s Name), now beginning their married life together, that they may have divine assistance, the constant support of friends, and a long life with good health. May your fullest blessing come upon (Bride’s Name) and her husband (Groom’s Name), from this day forward, for ever and ever, Amen. **** 作者被禁止或删除 内容自动屏蔽 ****
