The Invocation element of the wedding ceremony is when the presence of God is invoked with a prayer. It is usually said near the beginning of the ceremony, after the Greeting. The prayer will often include; praise, gratitude and a request for God’s presence and blessing on the ceremony.

As with all the Ceremonies and Elements I share on my site, these cover an array of various tones, including; traditional, contemporary, spiritual, religious, nondenominational and interfaith.

Invocation examples:

1. Let us pray, O gracious God, we give thanks to you for your gift of enduring love and your presence here with us now as we witness the vows of marriage between ______ and ______.

2. Let us pray, Almighty God, thank you for being present among us now. We ask for your blessing as you hear these vows of commitment and we pray you grant ______ and ________ the strength to fulfill them throughout their lifetime together. Amen.

3. Thank you, God, for the strong bond of love that exists between __________ and __________. Thank you for this wedding ceremony with family, friends and loved ones. We are grateful for your presence with us here today and for your divine sanction of this blessed event, the marriage day of _________ and _________. Amen.

4. Let us pray, Almighty and Ever blessed God, we beseech thee to be present and bless this couple as they may be truly joined in the honorable state of marriage as thou hast brought them together by thy providence, sanctify them by thy Spirit, giving them a new frame of heart for their new relationship, and grant unto them now in the hour of their union and throughout their wedded life, thy heavenly guidance; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

5. We bow our heads in prayer, May the God who has created and sustains us, hear our words to each other and grant blessing to this couple, their families, and their friends. Amen.

6. Let us now pause to establish ourselves in the consciousness of the universal loving presence of God and express our gratefulness for the blessed energy of divine love. Gracious God of all this divine wonder, we pray your light of love and joy shine down upon us as we gather today for the union of these two,  ________ and ________ . We thank you for the abundant energy of love and for the awesome gift of blissful marriage. Amen.
