Family Vows
THE VOWS
(Brian's vows to me & the kids)
Laurie, I take you now, in the presence of God and these
witnesses, to be my wife. I promise to love you, to hold
you and to honour you, in good times and in bad, to enjoy
you, console you, to delight you and astound you when I
can. I will give thanks for you always, and cherish you
with all my heart until the end of our days.
Laurie, not only do I promise to be a good and faithful
husband to you, but also to be a patient, loving father to
(children's names), caring for them and providing for them as
my own. I promise to be their strength and their emotional
support, loving them with all my heart until the end of
their days.
FAMILY CANDLE CEREMONY
This marriage is not just the joining of Laurie and Brian,
it is also the joining of (children's names), of their
families and their friends to build a strong community.
This community, if in a different way, is also strengthened
by those who are present today only in our memories. Their
roles in your lives are no less diminished as we celebrate
today's joyous moments. We ask you to join with Laurie and
Brian in fond memory of all these people and in particular;
(names of loved ones).
In the quiet of this special moment we give thanks for all
the rich experiences that have brought Laurie and Brian to
this marriage. We are grateful for the values taught to
them by those who have loved them and nurtured them
throughout their lives. We are grateful that within Laurie
and Brian there is a great love for God and for each other.
We are grateful too for the resources to use this love to
create a home for each other and for (children's names).
This candle before us symbolizes the joining of Laurie's and
Brian's past and of the new family they have formed here
today. It should also serve as a reminder to them of their
faith in God who enriches their marriage in every way.
The flames that light this candle will burn brighter when
joined together. Extinguish the two and be forever united
in God's love.
