PRESENTATION OF BRIDE
WELCOME
We are gathered here to worship God and to witness the marriage vows of and (GRACE ALEXIS BURNS and SIDNEY PAUL NOLAN).
Marriage is an honorable estate whose bond and covenant was instituted by God in creation.
Our Lord Jesus Christ adorned and beautified this holy estate by his presence and first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee.
It signifies to us the mystery of the union between Christ and his church.
And the Holy Scripture commends it to be honored among all people.
Therefore, no one should enter this state of life unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God; duly considering the causes for which matrimony was ordained.
IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO OBJECTS TO THIS MARRIAGE, LET THEM SPEAK NOT OR FOREVER HOLD THEIR PEACE
WHO, BESIDES ME, GIVES THIS WOMAN TO BE MARRIED TO THIS MAN?
CONGREGATION SEATED
DECLARATION OF INTENT
SIDNEY -“Will you take GRACE to be your wife, and will you be faithful to her, love her, honor her, live with her, and cherish her, according to the commandments of God in holy marriage?”
GRACE “, will you SIDNEY take to be your husband, and will you be faithful to him, love him, honor him, live with him , and cherish him, according to the commandments of God in holy marriage?”
PRAYER
GRACIOUS FATHER, AS WE MOVE NOW TO THESE SACRED MOMENTS OF COVENANT FIDELITY BETWEEN GRACE AND SIDNEY, BOTH STATING THEIR INTENT TO THIS UNION, GUARD AND GUIDE THAT IN THESE MOMENTS AND YEARS TO COME WHAT IS INTENDED MAY BE UNBREAKABLE.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD, AMEN.
SCRIPTURE
MESSAGE
LOVE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY REALITY.
BUT AS EXTRAORDINARY AS IT IS, IT IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD.
LOVE IS A DIVINE REALITY BEFORE IT IS A HUMAN RESPONSE
LOVE IS FOUNDED ON AND DEMONSTRATED BY THE LORD’S LOVE FOR HIS BRIDE - THE CHURCH; THIS BEING REVELED IN THE DEATH OF CHRIST FOR THOSE WHOM THE FATHER LOVES.
THEN IT IS EXPRESSED IN THE MUTUAL LOVE OF A MAN TO A WOMAN IN MARRIAGE.
LOVE IN MARRIAGE MUST BE UNDERSTOOD AS AFFECTION THAT IS DEMONSTRATED IN ACTION.
THE POSTLE PAUL DESCRIBES THE LOVE OF GOD FOR HIS BRIDE IN THESE WORDS IN ROMANS 5:8-
THE LOVE OF GOD IS DEMONSTRATED.
THEREFORE, GENUINE AND TRUE LOVE EXISTS WHEN TWO PEOPLE DEMONSTRATE IT IN TIMES OF JOY AND CHALLENGE.
I SAY THIS BECAUSE, IN REALITY, MARRIAGE IS DIFFICULT; AND YOUR MARRIAGE WILL NOT BE DIFFERENT.
THEREFORE I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME BRIEF THOUGHTS ON HOW TO UNDERSTAND THIS KIND OF LOVE:
1. LOVE IS HUMILITY
CHRIST’A EXAMPLE
2. LOVE IS SACRIFICE
DEATH: RELATIONAL DEATH OR DEATH TO SELF
3. LOVE IS RESILIENCE
RESILIENCE DOES NOT MEAN THE ABSENCE OF DIFFICULTY, BUT IT IS THE RESPONSE TO IT
DEFINITION: RESILIENCE the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; OR BEING TOUGH
RESILIENCE ALWAYS HAS AN AIM; A GOAL; IT IS THE GOAL THAT MAKES PEOPLE GET UP AND KEEP TRYING OR IN THIS CASE, BE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR ONE ANOTHER OR THE OTHER
4. LOVE IS PROTECTIVE
ADAM: DID NOT GUARD THE GARDEN.
WHAT WAS TWO BECAME THREE WITH THE ENEMY SLIPPING IN
MY ENCOURAGEMENT TO YOU IS TO NOT LET PEOPLE INTO YOUR MARRIAGE
WHEN YOU HAVE TO OR MUST, BE SURE THAT BOTH OF YOU AGREE WBOUT WHO WILL BE INVOLVED.
EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM I AM ASSUMING WILL HAVE VERY GOOD INTENTIONS BUT WHAT I WANT YOU BOTH TO KNOW THIS REALITY:
“GOOD INTENTIONS CAN HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACT AND SOME WILL ONLY SEE THEIR INTENTIONS AND NOT GIVE THOUGHT TO THE IMPACT OF THEIR INTENTIONS TO YOUR MARRIAGE
EXCHANGING OF THE VOWS
I WANT YOU TO NOW TURN AND FACE ONE ANOTHER:
SIDNEY: I SIDNEY, TAKE YOU, GRACE TO be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until parted by death.
I promise to be yours exclusively, a loyal and faithful husband, forsaking all others
GRACE: I GRACE, TAKE YOU, SIDNEY 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, cherish and obey, until parted by death.
I promise to be yours exclusively, a loyal and faithful wife, forsaking all others.
RINGS
SIDNEY: TAKE THE RING AND PLACE IT ON GRACE’S RING FINGER AND REPEAT AFTER ME: WITH THIS RING I THEE WED; IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
GRACE: TAKE THE RING AND PLACE IT ON GRACE’S RING FINGER AND REPEAT AFTER ME: WITH THIS RING I THEE WED; IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
BLESS, O LORD THESE RINGS THAT THEY WHO WEAR THEM, MAY, TOGETHER, ABIDE IN YOUR PEACE AND CONTINUE IN YOUR FACOR UNTIL THE END OF THEIR LIVES; THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, AMEN
PRAYER OF AFFIRMATION AND ONENESS
O God, eternal God, Creator and Preserver of all Mankind, Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of Everlasting life: You who have so consecrated the State of matrimony that in it is represented the spiritual marriage and unity between Christ and his Church: send Thy blessing upon these Thy servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in Thy name;
that they, living faithfully together, may Surely perform and keep the vow and covenant Between them now made in the presence of these Witnesses and signified by these rings given and Received is a token and pledge of their covenant Love.
Look mercifully upon these Thy servants, thaT They may love, honor, and cherish each other, and Live together in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, that their home may be a haveN of blessing and of peace; through our Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord, who lives and reigns with Thee AND The Holy Spirit forever, one God, world without END.
AMEN
DECLARATION OF MARRIAGE
Inasmuch as GRACE and SIDNEY have consented together in holy wedlock before God and this assembly, and have given and pledged their love, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring one to another..., we move now, to the most sacred moment:
AS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST REMOVED THE VEILS FROM OUR FACES AND CHRIST LOVED US AS HIS BRIDE, SIDNEY, AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF CHRIST IN THIS UNION, YOU MAY NOW REMOVE THE VEIL FROM GRACE’S FACE:
By the Authority of God as a Minister of His gospel in the Church, I do now, with exceeding joy AND IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, pronounce that THESE TWO ARE NOW husband and wife-YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE
