Wedding Reception Prayer - Sample
Almighty Father,
We are gathered here today to celebrate the blessings of marriage for
Ren and Mai and to lift their hearts' desires as they finally become one in
the sacrament of matrimony.
No one here knows what the future holds for them but we acknowledge
that it is You who hold their future. And we ask that you bless and protect
them as You fill their lives with Your grace and wisdom.
We ask that this would be a marriage made in heaven, praying that our
bride and groom would continually desire to be a heavenly mate.
Lord, draw their hearts together in love and unity. Teach them how to
enjoy working together, playing together, dreaming together and living the wonderful
life you bestowed them.
May they be determined to make You the center of their home. But most
of all, dear God, help them to keep the torch of love blossom in love and light
that by their loving example they may pass the same love and goodness to their
children and to their children's children forever.
These we ask through Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord… Amen.
