A prayer for our wedding day

Dear Heavenly Father,

You are indeed a kind and loving God. The greatest gift you give to each of us is the ability to love and feel love in return.

Today that ability to love and be loved manifests itself in our marriage. We pray that you will bless our marriage and our life together. We truly believe it was you who brought us to this day and for that we will be forever grateful.

Thank you for the many people who have blessed our lives and who have worked to make this day special.

May our life together be a reflection of your love and may we be examples of that love to our children, our families and all we come to know. Continue to bless our families and surround them with your grace. Allow them to walk with you and hold you forever close.

On this day may we recognize you at the center of our lives and our home and may everything we do be to glorify you and as an aknowledgement of the special gift this marriage is to us.

Allow us to be humble servants to your call and give us the courage to walk boldly in our faith lives that we may bring Christ to our world. Grant us happiness and remind us that you are with us always to guide, console and lead.

Today we commit our lives and our love to each other and our marriage to you. We thank you once again for this precious gift.

In the name of the one who showed us the true measure of unconditional love, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
