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.

Many of the traditional wedding ceremony elements and phrases we are accustomed to date back to the sixteenth century. The following marriage vows: "To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part”, are from the Book of Common Prayer, published in the year 1549. These familiar vows are still relevant and often used in current-day wedding ceremonies over 400 years later! More examples of the Greeting Element of a wedding ceremony are listed below.

I stand before this couple today to unite them in matrimony. If there is anyone here that may present just and lawful cause why these two individuals may not be lawfully wed, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
