A Prayer for a Wedding Day
A blessing for the couple, the vows, and the marriage that begins today.
A wedding lasts a day; the vows are meant for a lifetime. This prayer is for the couple — pray it as one of them, or over them.
The prayer
Father, bless this day and the two lives being joined in it. You invented this covenant; preside over it now.
Bless the vows as they are spoken — let them be more than beautiful words. Build into this couple the love that beareth, believeth, hopeth, and endureth all things.
Give them joy today, down to the smallest detail — and give them something better than a perfect day: a faithful life together.
Through every season ahead, plenty and want, health and sickness, keep them tender toward each other and anchored in you. Amen.
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Love endureth all things — the truest sentence ever read at a wedding, and the best one to pray.
