The Rose Ceremony is simple yet profoundly moving. The bride and
groom exchange two red roses, symbolizing the giving and receiving of
their love for each other throughout their entire married life. The Rose
Ceremony also conveys how to use the rose and its symbolism in difficult
times in order to forgive each other.
Officiant: "Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your
wedding rings - which shall always be an outward demonstration of your
vows of love and respect; and a public showing of your commitment to each
other. The rose is considered a symbol of love and a single rose always
means only one thing - it means the words "I love you." So it is appropriate
that for your first gift - as husband and wife - the gift is a single rose.
Please exchange your first gift as husband and wife.
I request that you both pick one very special location in your home for roses;
so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion you both may
take a rose to that spot both as a re commitment to your marriage - and a re
commitment that THIS will be a marriage based upon love.
In every marriage there are times where it is difficult to find the right words. It
might be difficult at times to say "I am sorry" or "I forgive you"; "I need you" or
"I am hurting". If this should happen, if you simply can not find these words,
leave a rose at that spot which both of you have selected - for that rose than
says what matters most of all and should overpower all other things and all
other words.
That rose says the words: "I continue to love you and I’m here for you." The
other should accept this rose for the words which cannot be found, and
remember the love and hope that you both share today.
