Wedding Ceremony Welcome: (you may be seated) Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, in the presence of God, to witness the joining together of Jesus and Paula in the holy covenant of marriage.
Jesus and Paula recognize that marriage is an important part of God’s plan for mankind. Marriage is not just a social occasion with a religious touch thrown in.
It is a service of worship from beginning to end, in which vows are made, prayers are offered, and blessings are given.
Who gives this woman to be joined in marriage with this man?
George says “her mother and I do” (Bride and Groom move to stage) Intent to Marry Jesus,
if it is your intent to marry Paula , please respond with “I do”
Jesus l, do.
Do you take Paula to be your wedded wife, to live together in holy matrimony and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, for as long as you both shall live?
"I do."
Paula, if it is you intent to marry please respond with “I do”
Paula, do you take Jesus to be your wedded husband, to live together in holy matrimony, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, for as long as you both shall live?
I do
Prayer: Let us invite the Father, the author of love, to join us in this most joyous occasion.
Let’s pray- Heavenly father, we thank you that you have brought us together to Share in this happy occasion for both Jesus and Paula. We invite you to come and be a part of all that we do this afternoon for we recognize that You are the source of love, joy and all good things. In Jesus’ name- Amen
