A single red rose is a symbol of love. At the end of the ceremony the

Newlyweds exchange roses as the first gift they give each other as

husband and wife.

_________ and _____________, I would ask that where ever you make your

home in the future – whether it be a large and elegant home – or a

small and graceful one – that you both pick one very special location

for roses; so that on each anniversary of this truly wonderful occasion

you both may take a rose to that spot both as a recommitment to your marriage.

In every marriage there are times when it is hard to find the right words to say “I am

sorry” or “I forgive you”; “I need you” or “I am hurting”. If this should happen, if you

simply can not find these words, leave a rose at that spot in your home as a reminder

of the love in your hearts today.
