Wedding Unity Ritual: Rose Presentation.

Presenting roses to each other as a gift, and symbol of love.

Groom and bride, today you will receive the most honorable titles that exist between a man and a woman— the titles of husband and wife.  You have chosen to give each other a rose as your first gift.  In the language of flowers, the rose is considered a symbol of love, and a single rose means one thing— I love you.  So it is appropriate that your first gift to each other as husband and wife will be a single rose.

Couple exchanges roses

… In every marriage, there are times when it is difficult to verbalize certain feelings.  Sometimes we hurt those whom we love the most, than find it difficult to say, “I am sorry”, or “please forgive me”, or “I need you”.  When you simply can not find these words, leave a rose at your specially chosen place, and let the rose say what matters most— “I still love you.”.  The other should accept this rose for the words that can not be found, and remember that the unspoken love is the hope you share and the faith you have in your future together as husband and wife.

Needed:  Two roses— traditionally red, but other colors may be used.  One table to hold roses, One vase— optional.
