During the ceremony the bride and groom are facing each other. The Bride and Groom Thank You provides an opportunity to turn and face friends and family while the officiant thanks everyone for all their support. This is a beautiful way to treasure the moment of seeing everyone being there for you on your special day.
Bride and Groom Thank You 1
Bride and Groom, please turn and face your friends and family.
Bride and Groom stand now before those that they love and that love them.
Those that have raised them, taught them, supported them and shaped them.
Most importantly, have given them not only the capacity to love, but to understand it and the desire to return it.
Because of that they are able to stand now across from each other – to take the limitless wealth that you have all given them in spirit, in time, in love – and return it.
Not just to themselves. not just to you.
But to the memory of those passed.
And to the hope for those yet to be.
Without everyone here today, no one is here today.
And for that, Bride and Groom both knowing that language often fails emotion, say, simply, “thank you.”
Bride and Groom, turn and face each other.
