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。
Marriage is therefore not to be entered upon by any thoughtlessly, but thoughtfully, reverently, and in the fear of God.
因此，婚姻不是随随便便就进入，而是在经过深思熟虑，更带着仰慕和敬畏上帝的心思走进来的。
Into this holy estate these two persons come now to be joined.
进入这神圣的婚姻殿堂，现正他们二人将要彼此结合成为一家人。
I charge you both, before God the searcher of all hearts, that having considered the holy covenant you are about to make, you do now declare before this company your pledge of faith and love towards each other. Be well assured that if these vows are kept as God’s Word demands, and you endeavor to do the will of your heavenly Father, God will bless your marriage, will grant you fulfillment in it, and will establish your home in peace
我现在请你们二位新人，在上帝面前省察你们的心思意念，是否已经为即将达成的圣洁盟约做了慎重的考虑，现正你们要在众人面前宣告你们彼此之间的真诚与爱心。要十分清楚，按照上帝在圣经中的教导，你们彼此之间要保守住誓言，并要竭力行出天父上帝的旨意。上帝会祝福你们的婚因，赐福你们婚姻圆满，并且平平安安的建立家室。

Scriptures:（引用经文）
1 Cor. 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
【林前13:4】爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。爱是不嫉妒。爱是不自夸。不张狂。
【林前13:5】不作害羞的事。不求自己的益处。不轻易发怒。不计算人的恶。
【林前13:6】 不喜欢不义。只喜欢真理。
【林前13:7】 凡事包容。凡事相信。凡事盼望。凡事忍耐。
Hebrews 13:4 4Marriage should be honored by all Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
【来13:4】 婚姻，人人都当尊重… …
【传4:9】两个人总比一个人好，因为二人劳碌同得美好的果效。
Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD
【箴18:22】得着贤妻的，是得着好处，也是蒙了耶和华的恩惠。
Song of Sol.: 8:6-8 “Place me like a seal over your heart, for love is as strong as death…It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth that he had for love, it would be utterly scorned.”
【歌8:6】求你将我放在你心上如印记，带在你臂上如戳记。因为爱情如死之坚强。嫉恨如阴间之残忍。所发的电光，是火焰的电光，是耶和华的烈焰。
【歌8:7】爱情众水不能息灭，大水也不能淹没。若有人拿家中所有的财宝要换爱情，就全被藐视。
St. Paul said “Wives be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.”
