Minister: As they come before us to be married, N., and N., wish to acknowledge and thank their parents for the love and support they have given them. The flowers they give to their parents represent the feeling of gratitude in the hearts of N. and N. This moment marks a major change in their lives, but the ties of love and friendship with their parents will continue. (The bride and groom then walk together to their parents, who rise, and the bride and groom hug each of them and give each a rose.)
