The Bride processes in, escorted by her father and attended by her bridesmaids.

Priest:
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.Dear Children of God,You are come today to seal your love for each other before God and in the presence of these witnesses. The Church shares the joy you feel and, like a wisemother, wishes you to understand well the action you are about to perform, sothat you may worthily receive this sacrament of which you are yourselves theministers.Marriage is a sacred institution: God Himself it was who established it when He placed our First Parents in Paradise. It became more sacred still when our LordJesus Christ made the marriage of Christians a sacrament, symbolising theunion between Him and his Bride, the Church. By this sacrament, as theChurch teaches, “natural married love is perfected, the unbreakable unity of marriage is secured and the married partners are sanctified.” Now these great blessings of the married state bring with them seriousobligations for the husband and wife, towards each other and towards their children.Children are the gift of God, a consolation to their parents but also a graveresponsibility. If it should be the will of God to bestow so great a treasure onyou, it will be your duty and privilege to bring them up as good citizens of thisworld and worthy members of the Mystical Body of Christ, so that they mayone day inherit his kingdom in heaven.The mutual fidelity of husband and wife is the glory of Christian marriage. Bykeeping faithfully the vows you pledge today you will bear witness to Christ,the source of your strength, so that men “may see your good works and glorifyyour Father who is in heaven”.
