Declarations and Blessings of Marriage

Pick one of these along with your vows, if you wish to
 tailor your wedding vows and make it a truly  unique wedding.

The declaration of marriage takes place following the vows and exchange of  rings.
Generally following the declaration, the bride and groom are invited to kiss, then while still facing each other,

 a blessing is bestowed upon them from the Officiate, using his/her staff  by  directing  sprinkles over the couple.
