HONORING THE DAUGHTER:
THE NECKLACE RITUAL

An occasion acknowledging the creation of a new family naturally requires that we take time to honor Robert's daughter, Diana Nasir. Diana, would you please come to the center?

[Robert hands Amy the necklace, Diana turns to face Robert, and Amy clasps the necklace onto Diana.]

Diana, please accept this necklace, and the three ring symbol it bears, asserting that as Robert and Amy enter a new and greater phase and form of love, so you too are now a part of a greater bond, the same as before and yet more powerful, more confident, more assured. Your father and Amy thank you for being such a wonderful daughter. As they declare today their commitment to care for each other, so they declare their commitment to care for you always.

You may go out into the world knowing that you are a very special part of this marriage.
