Minister: We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name)in holy matrimony;which is an honorable estate, instituted of God, since the first man and the first woman walked on the earth.Therefore;it is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly.Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined.If any one can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.Who gives this woman to be married to this man?
Father: My wife and I do.(Then the bride is given away)
Minister: I require and charge you both that if either of you know any impediment why you may not be lawfully joined together in matrimony, you confess it now.Be assured that if any persons are joined together otherwise than as God’s word allows, their marriage is not lawful.(Minister: addressing the groom)
(Groom’s Name), do you take(Bride’s Name)for your lawful wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?
Groom: I do.(Minster: addressing the bride):
(Bride’s Name), do you take(Groom’s Name)for your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?
Bride: I do.(At this point the couple may improvise by playing a favorite song, reading a scripture, etc.suggested scriptures might be genesis 2:21-25, mark 10:6-8 and 1 cor 13:4-7)
Reader 1: A reading from the book of Genesis, chapter 2, versus 21 through 25:
So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep;and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.The man said, “this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;she shall be called ’woman, ’ for she was taken out of man.“ for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.Reader 2: A reading from the gospel of Mark, chapter 10, versus 6 through 8:
But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.So they are no longer two, but one.Reader 3: A reading from the Apostle Paul, the first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13, verses 4 through 7:
Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It alwaysprotects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Minister: Let us pray for this man and woman as they make their marriage vows.Father, as(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name)have chosen each other, help them and bless them that their love may be pure, and their vows may be true.Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.(Minister: addressing the groom who repeats the marriage vows):
I(Groom’s Name)take thee(Bride’s Name)to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, ’til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance;and thereto I plight thee my troth.(Minister: then to the bride who repeats the marriage vows):
I(Bride’s Name)take thee(Groom’s Name)to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish, ’til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance;and thereto I plight thee my troth.(The Minister then gets the brides ring from the best man)
Minister:(praying over brides ring): Lord, bless this ring that he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in your peace, and continue in your favor until life’s end, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.(Groom: placing ring on bride’s finger):
With this ring I thee wed.Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.Minister:(praying over groom’s ring): Lord, bless this ring that she who gives it and he who wears it may abide in your peace, and continue in your favor until life’s end, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.(Bride: placing ring on groom’s finger):
With this ring I thee wed.Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.(Music may be inserted here.)
(The wedding song)
Minister: Let us pray
Father, we pray for all married persons, that they may continue to give, be able to forgive, and experience more and more of the joy of the Lord with each passing day.And especially for(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name), now beginning their married life together, that they may have divine assistance, the constant support of friends, and a long life with good health.May your fullest blessing come upon(Bride’s Name)and her husband(Groom’s Name), from this day forward, for ever and ever, Amen.May Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, always be at the center of the new lives you are now starting to build together, that you may know the ways of true love and kindness.May the Lord bless you both all the days of your lives and fill you with his joy.Amen.(The minister now joins their right hands together and says):
Those, whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder.In so much as(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name)have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, having given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and having declared same by the giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife.Minister:(to the couple): Seal the promises you have made with each other with a kiss.(The couple kisses.)
Minister: Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr.and Mrs._________________.Now let us pray as Jesus has taught us:
Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come.Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.Amen.

第五篇:西方生日传统
西方生日传统
在多数英语国家,人们在生日聚会上唱祝你生日快乐歌,祝福过生日的人。一般是在生日Party上有人捧出点燃生日蜡烛的生日蛋糕时大家齐声歌唱(一般要关灯,保持房间黑暗)。生日蛋糕一般是一种装饰的非常漂亮的蛋糕,而且在端上来的时候上面要插上与寿星年龄一样多的蜡烛。寿星要默默的许个愿望,然后吹灭蜡烛。如果是一口气就吹灭了所有的蜡烛,那么愿望就可能实现。有种迷信说法认为如果把愿望说出来就不灵了。寿星一般要切蛋糕的第一刀,除非是太小父母才可以代劳。
如果生日聚会在一家餐馆举行,那么也会唱生日歌。餐厅的服务生可能还会领唱接着就会送上餐后甜点(可能是也可能不是蛋糕,可能免费也可能不免费)。这个餐后甜点可能用一些发光的东西代替蜡烛。餐厅的其他顾客一般会加入进来一起祝福,唱歌。在一些餐厅还会有特别的非传统生日歌去和舞蹈表演。
对于一些特别的生日或者因为蜡烛的数目会有引起火灾的风险,特殊的蜡烛可能会取代实际的多个小蜡烛。这些蜡烛做成数字的样子,例如5随生日可能在蛋糕上点一支象数字5的蜡烛,50岁生日点一支象数字50的蜡烛就行了。
生日对每个人来说都是很重特别的日子,所以一般过生日的人都会受到朋友和家人的特别待遇。所以小孩子都对自己的生日十分的期待,甚至希望早点来,但是成年人则比较反感,因为又有人来祝贺自己老了一岁。除了聚会之外,在生日这一点还会有礼物送给过生日的人,一般来说会得到一大堆朋友和家人送的礼物。
孩子们的生日聚会一般比较有趣,还有许多有意思的游戏例如老鹰抓小鸡Pin the Tail on the Donkey, 抢座位游戏,hitting piñatas等。成年人的生日聚会就比较正式了,一般是在一家餐厅吃一顿丰盛的晚餐。不管在什么年龄,这些聚会的目的都是让过生日的人感到非常的幸福快乐。有个笑话这样讲,生日有时被叫做一年内最美好的一天,生日后一天则是一年最糟糕的一天,因为到下一次生日还有一年呢!
还有一个传统叫惊喜聚会。有时人们故意显得把某个人的生日忘记了,让要过生日的人感到自己被忽视了,而实际上大家都在暗中准备惊喜聚会。相反的,很多人对这个聚会也是守口如瓶,因为大家对这个聚会都很期待。
