In the present of our loved ones we will exchange vows of marriage in Christ's love My question is the word present used correctly in this sentence?

The Word present is used incorrectly in this sentence.

'present' usually means:

* a gift * to make known formally * to produce

and this does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

The sentence should read:

"In the presence of our loved ones we will exchange vows of marriage in Christ's love"
