What tokens of your love and devotion do you have to
offer one another?
{These Rings/This Ring}
May these rings be blessed as a symbol of this affectionate unity.
Your two lives are being joined today in one unbroken circle. Wherever
you go, may you always return to one another in your togetherness. May
you find in one another the love for which all men and women yearn.
May you grow in understanding and compassion. May the home which you
establish together be such a place of sanctuary that all who are here
today and others through the years will find there true friends. May
these rings, soon to be on your fingers, symbolize the touch of the
spirit of love that is in both your hearts. _______________, in placing
the ring on ___________________'s left hand, please repeat after me:
____________________, I give you this ring as a pledge of my love, and
as a symbol of our unity.
(Optional: There are alternative vows and
rings sections. After the vows and ring exchanges is an appropriate
place to add another prayer such as the Unity Candle,
the Rose Ceremony or ``To
the Children'' sections.'')
