Each one of your friends and family here today have been given a small
polished stone that represents their unique individuality and their
presence at your wedding today. You also each have a stone of
your own that symbolizes your previous separate lives,
separate sets of friends, separate families and the
different life’s journeys you once traveled.
I will now ask that everyone please take out the stone you have been
given and pause to make a wish or blessing for happiness and
good will for the couple for the future of their marriage.
Everyone pauses to make their wish.
Now, we will collect the stones and the couple will then
add their individual stones to the container as well.
The couple adds their stones to the container.
With the combining of these stones, you have now symbolically joined your once
separate lives. As the stones have been combined with love into one container,
so now are your friends and family joined, through you, into one. And your
once solitary life's paths are also now one. All that was once separate
is now shared, and in this sharing you both will find new strength
and joy as together you forge a new life's path and destination.
I love this...I just saved it to come back to it later. Thanks!
