Ciborium Priest: God is love and has in some mysterious way, drawn you
together in love. Dearly Beloved King and Kat you are
about to enter into a union which is the most sacred and
most precious, a union that was established by God
himself. By it, He gave humanity a share in the greater
work of creation, the work of the continuation of human
race. And this way, He sanctified human love and enabled
man and woman to help each other live as children of
God, by sharing a common life under His fatherly love.

GREETING: And so dear brother and sisters let your presence be one of faith and
love. Faith and trust in God’s promises and in prayer for King and Kat so
that they may freely and lovingly take upon themselves the grace and
responsibility that God has entrusted them, that of living for and loving
