The Rose Gift Ceremony

Meaning – This Ceremony Enhancement allows the couple to give each other a simple gift that can be used as a reminder in the future of the love that they felt for each other as they renewed their vows.

Time – About 1 to 2 minutes

Supplies – 2 roses

Placement: The Rose Gift Ceremony can be included after the vows or after rings have been exchanged.

Example of the wording for this Enhancement:

Officiant: After the exchanging of rings (or saying your vows), your first gift to each other, is a single rose.  The rose is a symbol of love, so it is appropriate that it is your first gift to one another as you start this new chapter in your life together.

_____ please give your rose to _____ and repeat after me:

_____, I give you this rose as a symbol of my love.  It began as a tiny, tightly closed bud and blossomed into this perfect rose that opened with the warmth of the sun,  just as my love for you has grown and blossomed over the years.

_____ please give your rose to _____and repeat after me:

In the best of marriages, there are difficult times as you have learned.  There are times of hurtful words, times of neglect, times when we must wait patiently to be together again.  Those may be times when the words you really need to speak fail you.  I ask that you remember this moment today when words fail you, and once again give your spouse the gift of a single rose as a way to say, “I remember our vows,” and “I love you.”  Let this exchanging of roses today be the start of a tradition of unspoken love that will carry you through the years.
