Wedding Ceremony Sharing a Drink

For a marriage ceremony to be legal, there are few simple requirements.  After that, a couple may create a wedding ceremony that is both personal and unique.

One of the ways partners personalise their wedding ceremony is by sharing a drink of wine immediately after the ceremony to mark their union as a husband and wife. The words accompanying the action can be delivered by the celebrant, one of the parents, or a very close friend of the couple.

Here is a sample taken out of my Wedding Ceremony Resource Book. 

Celebrant:
The years of life are as a cup of wine poured out for you to drink. The cup of wine contains within it the sweet wine of happiness, joy, hope and delight. The same cup, at times, holds the bitter wine of disappointment, sorrow, grief, and despair. Those who drink deeply of life, invite the full range of experiences into their being. 

This cup is symbolic of the pledges you have made to one another to share together the fullness of life. As you drink from this cup, you acknowledge to one another that your lives, until this moment separate, have become one vessel, into which all your sorrows and joys, all your hopes and fears, all your dreams and dreads, will be poured, and from which you will find mutual sustenance. Many days you will sit at the same table and eat and drink together. 

Drink now, and may the cup of your lives be sweet and full to overflowing.
