When two people in love decide to get married, it is a wonderful event for the entire community of friends and family. It is good to toast the happy couple and acknowledge this momentous occasion. Invite them over and anyone else who may want to share in this blessing.
Gather together
* yellow roses and yellow candles to symbolize joy
* champagne and sparkling cider and flutes for serving
* sweet cakes and cookies, round in shape to symbolize rings
Once everyone has arrived, light the candles and hand one rose to each of the betrothed. Speak this blessing:
Today we share our love with both of you
We share in your joy for the future.
You have given your hearts to each other
We give our hearts to you.
We celebrate this bright beginning
And all the happiness it will bring.
Blessed be, dear ___ and ___ [speak the names of the couple]
You will give and live in total joy.
Blessed be to thee. So mote it be!
Now pop the champagne and pass the bottle and the sweets around and share in this loving toast.
