Prayers, the Pronouncement and the Blessing

How do I end the ceremony?

A prayer for the couple, the Lord’s Prayer led so the room can follow, the pronouncement, a blessing in a form your church allows and the presentation; then how to handle communion, candles and remembering someone who has died.
