Not requested very often, this ceremony is sure to make your ceremony unique and memorable:
Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your wedding rings, which shall always be a outward demonstration of your vows of love and respect, and a public showing of your commitment to each other. You now have what remains the most honorable title which may exist between a man and a woman, the title of husband and wife. For your first gift, as husband and wife, that gift will be a single rose. In the past, the rose was considered a symbol of love and a single rose always meant one thing, it meant the words I Love You. So it is appropriate that for your first gift as husband and wife, that gift would be a single rose (Please exchange your first gift as husband and wife.) In some ways it seems you have not done anything at all. Just a moment ago you were holding one small rose, and now you are holding one small rose. In some ways a marriage ceremony is like this. Tomorrow is going to seem no different than yesterday, but in fact today, just now, you both have given and received one of the most valuable and precious gifts of life, one I hope you always remember, the gift of true and abiding love within the devotion of marriage.
