Officiant: [Bride], please hold [Groom's] hands palms up, so you
may see the gift that they are to you.
These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and
vibrant with love, that are holding yours on your wedding day,
as he promises to love you and cherish you through the years for a lifetime of
happiness.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together
you build your future.
These are the hands that will love you passionately,
and, with the slightest touch, comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears
from your eyes-
tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief
engulfs your heart.
These are the hands that will give you
strength and support when you can't do it alone.
These are the hands that, when wrinkled and aged, will still be
reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken
tenderness with just a touch.
