The Loving Cup Ceremony

This is a ceremony where the bride and groom sip sacramental wine, often from an ornamental chalice, during the exchange of vows.

Here is a simple version of this ceremony

Celebrant
And now please drink to the love you've shared in the past.
(The Bride and Groom sip from the cup)

Celebrant
Drink to your love in the present, on this your wedding day.
(The Bride and Groom sip from the cup)

Celebrant
And drink to your love in the future and forever more.
(The Bride and Groom sip from the cup)
