Wedding Ceremony Exchanging Roses 

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 modern symbolic rituals is the exchanging of roses by the bride and groom at the end of the ceremony. This is to symbolise their first gift to each other as husband and wife.

The red rose always symbolises the gift of love. However, other flowers, standing for other meanings, can also be used.

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

Exchanging Roses
Celebrant:
It is now a special privilege for (parents/best man/maid of honour) to present you with your first gift as husband and wife. (One rose for each)

In the language of flowers, the red rose is the symbol of love, and their gift to you is the gift of love. Will you please exchange your red roses?

In this exchange you have given each other your first gift as husband and wife - the gift of love. In every marriage it is sometimes difficult to find words to resolve certain issues which may arise. If and when such issues come to your marriage, if either of you will remember to bring into your home a red rose, the other will see it and understand it as a statement of love and accept it, because loves makes everything all right.

It would be our prayer, that wherever you make your home, there is a special place for red roses. And on each succeeding anniversary of this occasion, you celebrate it, at least in part, by exchanging a red rose, as a memento of your love and recommitment to the promises you have made this day before your relatives and friends.
