After the proclamation, the prayer was followed by a prayer to ask God to bless today's wedding.

"Dear brothers and sisters, we are gathered here to attend the happy wedding of this man and this lady under the watchful eyes of God and the Witnesses.

Anyone who has any valid reason to justify their inability to marry, please speak up now, or please remain silent forever. ”

"William. Morality. Normandy, will you marry this lady as your lawful wife, live with her, and enjoy the happiness of marriage together?

Will you love her, comfort her, and be faithful to her, whether she is healthy or sick, and will you give up the temptations of others to be loyal to her alone and grow old with her in her lifetime? ”

The Archbishop of Rouen asked William with a Bible in his hand and a solemn expression.

In Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, the bride and groom have unique wedding testimonies during the wedding ceremony, which is very different from the traditional Chinese marriage ceremony, where the priest usually asks the groom and the bride.

"I do. Yes，I do！ William nodded in response.

Receiving William's affirmative reply, the Archbishop of Rouen looked at Uraca again and asked:

"Will you make this man your rightful husband and live with you in a holy marriage?

Would you like to love him, to protect him, to care for him, to respect him, and to forsake everything and live with him? ”

"I do. Yes，I do！ Uraka also did not hesitate at all, nodding in response.

Marriage is a promise made by one, and in this commitment, two people give themselves and find themselves.

In marriage, two people share and grow together, and there is no other relationship in the world that can compare to marriage.

The commitment of marriage is a commitment of body, mind, and eternity.

"I now declare you both husband and wife and wish you both happiness." The Archbishop of Rouen announced loudly to the crowd.

In this wedding, the bride and groom are willing to show their desire to tie the knot before God and men.

Therefore, they look forward to spiritual obedience in the marriage they are about to begin.

For Christians, such prayers are even more important. In the face of different beliefs and cultures, this prayer also shows respect for the different cultures of the bride and groom.

"God of mercy and grace:

When Jesus first created man, He created a man and a woman.

Pray for the Lord's grace to these two who have come to the Lord today to ask for blessings,

And when they are married,

Respect each other, help each other, love one another,

Living together in harmony, loving for a long time, and growing old together.

Pray that the Lord will bless them with peace, health, and happiness.

Live according to the will of the Lord in this world and enjoy eternal life in the next.

All this is supplied in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! "The Archbishop of Rouen solemnly prayed for William's wedding, blessing the couple.

In the solemn wedding blessing, William and Uraka exchanged rings again.

This time the meaning is different, the ring is worn on the finger, and there is a theory that it is because the blood vessels on the finger go straight to the heart, which means that the hearts of both parties agree to the marriage.

During the Mass, William and Ukara share the same consecrated sacrament bread and drink the same consecrated glass of wine, signifying that they are one in Christ.

The husband then accompanies his wife to the altar of the Virgin Mary, where she picks up a hand-spun rod and spins thread for a while, which is also a symbol of her status as a wife.

The candles and candlesticks on the altar are prepared by the newlyweds.

Three candles, usually white, can also be chosen in other colors.

Three candles are placed in front of the couple, and the candle in the middle is called the "Marriage Candle" or "Unity Candle", which is larger than the two "Family Candles" next to it.

If the candles are brought in at the beginning of the wedding, then the candle in the middle should be set first, and only the two family candles next to it should be brought in.

When the candle is lit, a piece of music can be played, or a choir, an individual, or the whole congregation can sing a hymn.

In the wedding procedure, the candle lighting procedure is divided into two parts, the first part is to light the family candle, and the second part is to light the marriage candle in the middle.

The second part is lit after the completion of the vows and the proclamation of marriage.

After the Mass, the couple was escorted to the church by friends and clergy, where they were to go to the cemetery to pray for their forgotten relatives, implying that their marriage required the presence of the whole family.

After the cemetery prayers, the carnival begins.

The newlyweds' friends would sprinkle a handful of grains on the young couple's body and say, "More, more." ”

This is a beautiful meaning, and the birth of a child is a blessing from God for them.

In the Anglo-Saxon region, this custom is a magical ritual that guarantees the birth of more children, while in other regions it varies according to the custom.

Some sprinkled snow, some sawdust, some small scraps of paper, all sorts of things.

Of course, there are always good wines and feasts, and even when drunk to the extreme, everyone dances and sings together, and this Western interest is still preserved in various celebrations today.

After the church ceremony, William and Urraka boarded the carriage again and headed to Windsor Castle outside London, escorted by the Guardsmen.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the wedding carriage arrives at Windsor Castle, where the bride and groom and their loved ones will attend a family party that only they attend.

As William's uncle and prime minister, Radoff. Morality. After the wedding reception in Normandy, according to the wedding tradition in England, the in-laws - Ferdinand I and Queen Sancha will hold a ball in the hall of Windsor Castle, and there will be a formal wedding reception at 7 p.m.

Newlyweds should not show up at the ball, that would be very undignified, and they should set off for their honeymoon.

As night falls, the husband and wife of William and Uraka are about to have a "round house".

At this time, the clergy will bring the acolytes to perform the final blessings, and the clergy will bless the marriage bed with holy water and frankincense that they carry with them.

This can't help but remind William of the trend of college entrance examination students who must worship every exam, in fact, whether it is to worship Guanyin or Confucius, they should understand in their hearts that this is not of much effect, it is nothing more than to find a comfort for themselves, or the remaining luck in their hearts, if they really "win"?

............

After all, Uraka is still a delicate girl, and she couldn't bear it last night, and she still can't recover by morning.

The honeymoon trips and banquets that were originally scheduled, William postponed them.

William was very satisfied with this new wife, and he also cherished it, not only spending a lot of money to organize this wedding, but also putting down the government affairs at hand very intimately and accompanying her.
