Rose Ceremony

Groom: (as he hands his bride a long-stemmed white rose): "Bride:, take this rose as a symbol of my love. It began as a tiny bud and blossomed, just as my love has grown and blossomed for you"

Bride: (as she places the rose into a bud vase filled with water): "I take this rose, as a symbol of your love, and I place it into water, a symbol of life. For, just as this rose cannot survive without water, I cannot survive without you."

Groom: "In remembrance of this day, I will give you a white rose each year on our anniversary, as a reaffirmation of my love and the vows spoken here today"

Bride: "And I will refill this vase with water each year, ready to receive your gift, in reaffirmation of the new life you have given me and the vows spoken here today."

Groom: (as he and his bride join hands around the rose-filled vase): "And so, this rose will be a symbolic memory of my commitment to you this hour; I vow to be faithful to you, to comfort you, honor you, and respect you and cherish you all the days of my life."

Bride: (as they continue to hold the vase together): "And I commit myself to you, to be faithful to you, to comfort you, honor you, respect you, and cherish you all the days of my life."
