1.The Marriage Ceremony:证婚仪式

Introduction: “Please be seated”简短介绍：“请嘉宾入坐”。

新人入场：

Dearly beloved: we are met together in the sight of God and in the presence of these witnesses to join together

亲爱的：我们在上帝的眼前相遇，并且在这些见证人面前走到一起来。

(groom) （新郎）XX（先生） And 和

(bride) （新娘）XX（女士）

In the bonds of holy matrimony according to the ordinance of God, and the custom of the Christian Church.

按照上帝所设立的神圣婚姻，和基督教会的礼俗，一同来到这里。

Let’s start with a word of prayer: (service and friends)

让我们做个祷告：（服侍人员及来宾们）

Marriage is an honorable and holy estate instituted by God in the Graden of Eden, sanctioned and honored by Christ’s presence at the marriage in Cana of Galilee, and likened by St. Paul to the mystical union which exists between Christ and His Church. It was ordained of God as the foundation and bond of family life, for the mutual help and comfort of the husband and wife. It is a covenant, not a contract.

婚姻是上帝在伊甸园中设立的一个有尊荣和圣洁的命令；在加利利海的迦南婚宴上，耶稣基督亲历确认和荣耀婚姻；圣徒保罗将其比作基督耶稣与他教会之间的隐秘关系。上帝命定婚姻是家庭生活延续的根基和纽带，丈夫和妻子之间要彼此安慰和相互劝勉。这是一个圣洁盟约，并非是一份互利的合同。
