Greeting 祝辭：

Dear family members, we are gathered together in the sight of God to witness and to bless the joining together of 新娘新郎 in Christian marriage. The covenant of marriage was established by God in creation when He created us male and female for each other. The apostle Paul equated the relationship of marriage with the relationship that Christ has with His Church. It is therefore to be entered into only with the most serious and lifelong commitment to each other’s good in a union of strength, sympathy, and delight. ​ 新娘新郎 come to give themselves to one another in this holy covenant.

親愛的各位家庭成員，今天，我們一起來見證在神的注視和祝福中新娘新郎結合在一起的基督教婚姻。婚姻的盟約是上帝在創造男人和女人互助的同時而為我們締造的。使徒保羅認為婚姻的關係等同於基督同祂的教會的關係。因此，走入婚姻的殿堂就是彼此的能力、同情心、喜悅的最為莊嚴的結合和彼此完全的委身。​ 新娘新郎，在神聖的盟約裏，請把自己奉獻給彼此。

Prayer （祈禱）

Scripture Reading: I Corinthians 13:4-7, Colossians 3:12-20，Genesis 2:23-24 （經文朗讀）

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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 always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

愛是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。愛是不嫉妒。愛是不自誇。不張狂。不作害羞的事。不求自己的益處。不輕易發怒。不計算人的惡。不喜歡不義。隻喜歡真理。凡事包容。凡事相信。凡事盼望。凡事忍耐。愛是永不止息。（《聖經》哥林多前書 1 Corinthians 13:4-7）

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

所以，你們既是神的選民，聖潔蒙愛的人，就要存憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔、忍耐的心。倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。在這一切之外，要存著愛心，愛心就是聯絡全德的。又要叫基督的平安在你們心裏作主；你們也為此蒙召，歸為一體，且要存感謝的心。當用各樣的智慧，把基督的道理豐豐富富地存在心裏，用詩章、頌詞、靈歌，彼此教導，互相勸戒，心被恩感，歌頌神。無論作什麽，或說話、或行事，都要奉主耶穌的名，藉著他感謝父神。你們作妻子的，當順服自己的丈夫，這在主裏麵是相宜的。你們作丈夫的，要愛你們的妻子，不可苦待她們。（《聖經》歌羅西書 Colossians 3:12-20）

The man said, "This is now bone o my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,' for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

那人說：“這是我骨中的骨，肉中的肉，可以稱她為‘女人’，因為她是從男人身上取出來的。”因此，人要離開父母，與妻子連合，二人成為一體。（《聖經》創世紀 Genesis 2:23-24）

Exchange of Vows （交換誓言）

Repeat after me: （跟著我說）

I, Boy, take you, Girl, 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 and to cherish, till death do us part.

我，男孩名字，願以你，女孩名字，作為我婚姻的妻子，擁有和扶持，從這一天起，是好 - 是壞，是富 - 是貧，疾病中或健康時，都相愛相依，直到死亡將我們分開。

I, Girl, take you, Boy, 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 and to cherish, till death do us part.
