Wedding Prayer Scripture

God of Love, bless this marriage and open our hearts and minds to hear your word as we read from Colossians, chapter 3, verses 12-14… So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Amen

Wedding Prayer Examples Part 2

Below is a list of wedding prayer examples. For the first part of the list, examples 1-7, see Examples of the Wedding Prayer.

The wedding prayer is said near the end of the wedding ceremony and is usually a prayer over the new marriage and may include a blessing, scripture or poetry.
8.
Officiant: Dear God we are grateful and joyous as you pour out your abundant blessings on this loving couple and their newly formed marriage. We pray that ____________ and ____________ will honor their vows and promises made here today and we remember the line of beautiful scripture that tells us, There is faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Amen 

9.
Officiant: God blesses you with happiness, prosperity and gives you peace. May your love for each other become deeper and more blissful as you carry onward in your sacred journey of married life. May you draw forth, each from the other, the highest and the best. May you be open and receptive to divine inspiration and guidance. May you express poise, patience and understanding with each other. May your lives blend together in harmony and joy and may your days be good and long upon the earth. Amen. 
10.
Officiant: God our Father, ____________ and ____________ thank you for their families; for the love that they share and for the joy of marriage. They ask Dear Lord that in the busyness of each day they will remember to keep their eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and that you fill them with the Holy Spirit in order that they may be generous with their time and love and energy. Strengthen them by their union to help them serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. And we all say, (people and officiant say) > Amen.

11.
Officiant: God of Love, bless this marriage and open our hearts and minds to hear your word as we read from Colossians, chapter 3, verses 12-14… So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Amen

12.
Most gracious God, by the power of your Divinity, pour out the abundance of your blessing upon this man and this woman. Let their love for each other be a seal upon their hearts so that they may love, honor and cherish each other in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, so that their home may be a haven of blessing and peace. Amen.

13.
Officiant: Everlasting God, we give you praise and we give you thanks for blessing this union. Grant ____________ and ____________ a love in the image of the devotion and love of Christ for his Church. Grant them a long and fruitful life together, in joy and in peace, so that, through your Son and in the Holy Spirit, their hearts may always rise to you in praise and goods works. Amen

14.

Officiant: I pray that, according to the riches of God’s glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. May your holy union be blessed with the abundant Grace of God. In Jesus Name, Amen.
