The contents of western-style church weddings are rich and colorful. Here are some brief introductions for everyone: (1) The entrance of the priest, the entrance of the groom, the bridesmaid and the best man; (2) The entrance of the bride and father; 1.

I exhort you both to remember that love and loyalty are the cornerstones of building a happy and eternal home. If you always keep your solemn vows; If you unswervingly seek and follow the will of your holy father; Your life will always be harmonious and happy; The family you build will bear any changes. Of course, you should also remember that you are not alone in the journey of life. Don't be afraid to ask others for help when you are in trouble. Helping hands come from friends, relatives and the church. Accepting assistance from others is not a shame, but a sincere act. Around us, the Lord has extended a helping hand to us. The hand of Jesus Christ is everywhere. The most important thing is: we witnessed the combination of the new couple. Amen.

Are you willing to share happiness with (her/him) on an equal footing, regardless of pain, victory or confusion? (7) Exchange vows XX, choose you XXX, and become my (husband/wife). From today on, I will hold on to you, love and cherish you for good or bad, rich or poor, sick or not, until death does us part. According to God's will, I promise my love for you and my loyalty to you. (8), exchange rings and "lighting concentric candles" 1. Exchange rings Pastor: "The wedding ring symbolizes eternity; It symbolizes the eternal combination of two hearts and spirits with endless love. Now give her your love and your ardent desire to combine your heart and spirit forever as gifts. You can put this wedding ring on your bride. Groom: "XXX, this ring I gave you symbolizes my love and loyalty to you." Priest: "also give him your love and your earnest desire to combine your heart and spirit forever." You can put this wedding ring on your groom. Bride: "XXX, this ring I gave you symbolizes my love and loyalty to you." 2. The plot of "lighting concentric candles" describes that lighting the outermost two candles represents two people with different life trajectories. When they get married, it symbolizes that two candles blend into one candle. This is the will of the Lord. The Lord said, "Because a man will leave his parents and live with his wife. The two will start a new life. " From now on, you should think of each other, not just individuals. You have the same ideal, and you share joy and sorrow. When you light the candle in the middle with a candle in your hand, you should put out the candle that represents you. This is because lighting the candle in the middle represents the beginning of your new life. In the Christian family, this candle can't be cut, and it is a witness that the two will live together forever and become an inseparable whole. May the light of this candle prove your union and rely on the Lord Jesus Christ. (9) The priest announced that since Brother XXX and Sister XXX had sworn twice before God and the congregation, they joined hands with each other.

Bless you and protect you. The Lord will support you below you; Will guide you before you; Will protect you in your rear; The Lord is by your side, deep in your heart. Almighty God can give you what you can't. Joy and harmony are the praise of the Lord's loyalty to you, which this world can't give and can't take away. It all depends on Jesus Christ. We will praise our Lord forever. 3. May God bless the couple. Immortal Father and Savior Jesus Christ, now we are converted to you. Take the first step of their new life journey for this new couple, and we are willing to ask the Lord to protect their home. Ask the Lord to teach them forever; Stabilize their marriage; Supply feeds them and guides their lives. May they praise the Lord when they make a choice and do anything.
