SINGLE LIFE. THE DRINKING OF THE COMBINED WINE SIGNIFIES THE
COMMITMENT YOU NOW MAKE TO LIVE YOUR LIVES AS ONE FAMILY.
MAY YOU REMEMBER THIS DAY OF COMMITMENT YOU HAVE SEALED
WITH DRINKING OF THE NEW WINE JOINING YOUR LIVES AS ONE.

*PRAYER
IT IS SAID THAT A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE INVOLVES THREE HEARTS
BECOMING ONE. THE HEARTS OF THE HUSBAND, THE WIFE, AND GOD AT

POSSIBLE, THE AUTHOR OF LIFE, LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS. OUR ONE
TRUE GOD. TO LEAD US INTO PRAYER, AND ALSO TO SAY GRACE BEFORE
