"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12
This ceremony is a Symbol of God's Sacred Union in Marriage.This passage from Ecclesiastes illustrates the importance of Christian companionship. Two Christians that are bound together in Christ are stronger than the individuals themselves. We believe that Christian marriage is about more than the union of one man and one woman.The Bible teaches us that God performs a miracle in our marriage, uniting us together in a covenant relationship with Him as one.The Cord of Three Strands is a symbol of that sacred union created on your wedding day.
During the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom braid the Cord of Three Strands Gold, Purple and White together. The groom holds a small metal ring with three attached strands. The bride then braids the strands together, symbolizing the union of God, husband and wife. While braidng the Strands your officiant will read the explanation of the braiding and guide you through the ceremony.
