• "If u love something set if free, If he comes back then he was ment to be! Love u Will This is a day steeped in tradition, a time when we are surrounded by symbols: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Today, Denise and William begin a new tradition, a custom which now becomes uniquely their own. William, please repeat after me: Denise, I give you this rose. Because it grew from a tiny seed, becoming stronger and larger until it burst into flower, it symbolizes the way my love for you has grown. (Groom gives Bride the rose.) Each year on our wedding anniversary, I will give you another rose. In so doing, I'll remember this day and renew the vows we've made. Denise, please repeat after me: William, I give to you this vase of water. (Groom takes and holds it.) Because water is the one element without which we would perish, it symbolizes the importance of your love in my life. Each year on our anniversary, I will refill this vase, offering it to you as a symbol of my ever renewing love. (Bride puts the rose in the vase and they hold the vase together.) William, please repeat after me: Without water, the rose would die. My gift is enhanced by yours, just as my life is enhanced by ours. Denise, please repeat after me: Without the rose, the vase of water would not be beautiful. My gift is lovely because of yours, just as my life is better because of you. (Bride and Groom then hand the rose and vase to the Minister, Maid of Honor, best man or family member.) Denise and William, on each anniversary, as you give and receive the rose and the water, remember with joy this day when you pledged your love and your lives to each other. May this be only the first of many cherished traditions in a home filled with happiness. (Denise & William) have brought rings to present to one another as a symbol of their marriage vows today. An ancient and widely accepted explanation as to the origin of the wedding ring refers to the early Egyptian’s belief that a circle was the symbol of eternity--a sign that life, happiness, and love have no beginning and no end. A wedding ring, or circle, was placed on the third finger of the left hand, the ring finger, because it was traditionally believed that the vena amoris, that is, the vein of love, runs directly from the “ring finger” to the heart. -- the perfect spot to place a symbol, representing eternal love and commitment. Now I ask that God bless these rings that (William & Denise) will exchange as a symbol of their love and fidelity. (Denise), repeat after me, “with this ring I thee wed. Take it and wear it as a pledge of my love and as a symbol of all we shall share.” (William), repeat after me, “with this ring I thee wed. Take it and wear it as a pledge of my love and as a symbol of all we shall share.”"
