Cord of Three Strands Reading
– Option 1 The
gold strand
represents God and His majesty. The
purple strand
represents the groom and his life. The
white strand
represents the bride and her life. In
braiding these three strands together, [Groom] and [Bride] have demonstrated
that their
marriage is more than joining of two lives together.
It is a unity with God as well. They
have chosen to allow God to be at the center of their marriage, woven into every
aspect of it. As
Ecclediastes 4:9-12 reads, “Two people are better than one, Reading – Option 2 The braiding of the three strands demonstrates how [Groom] and [Bride] are joined by God in marriage. Each strand holds special meaning. The Gold Strand symbolizes that the Lord Jesus has been invited by [Groom] and [Bride] to the position of authority in this marriage relationship. The Purple Strand represents the groom. It illustrates the majesty of God as head over the husband. As [Groom] submits himself to the Lord, the Lord in
turn will hold the marriage together through him. The White Strand represents the bride.
It illustrates the purity of the bride of Christ.
As each has received Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord,
they are cleansed through Christ. Ecclesiastes
4:12 reads, “Although an assailant may overpower one person, two can withstand
him. Moreover,
a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken.” Today,
[Groom] and [Bride] have been woven together by God as ONE in marriage! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
