Part 1 A
The wedding ring is the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two loyal hearts in endless love.
It is a seal of the vows you have made to one another.
By the exchange of these tokens of your love, so are your lives
interlaced. What one experiences, so shall the other;
as love builds, so will your bond strengthen and grow.
Look at your rings often,
AND………..as you do, remember the promises that you make today.
BECAUSE…..from today on, the two of you shall be one
 
Part 1 B
In a moment we witness the giving of rings…..as a symbol of the promises made today.
These rings represent a holy agreement and should…Serve as a reminder to you both

Are not temporary, Not conditional, But everlasting.

Look at your rings often,
AND………..as you do, remember the promises that you make today.
