Prayers
These are just some examples to give you ideas of what some beautiful prayers can express and how they set the mood. N=name.
1. Spring Wedding
Most gracious God: You have given us the cycle of the season, with things for us to learn from each. We have come together in this springtime conscious of the freshness of life, of new beginnings, of hope, of love, of joy. And we have come to celebrate the love N. and N. have for each other. We pray that you will bolster their earthly love with your heavenly love. Be present with us and let our joy lead us to you. We pray, giving God the glory. Amen.
2. Summer Wedding
Let the people who have gathered say: Each cell in God's creation calls us to celebrate this day. Each cell within us responds - with uplifting joy. We arise as we are renewed into The whirling dance. We join the movement of the ages and connect the past to now and these two people with words Of God's love.
3. Autumn Wedding
Lord of the autumn color and ripened grain, we come before you to sanctify the union of N. and N. in marriage. We celebrate that the ripening of love has brought them to one another. And while nature appears to be preparing for the dormancy of winter, N. and N. are entering into the vibrancy of shared life and a sacred journey now beginning. Bless them as they turn away from other possibilities to the promise of covenant and constancy. Be present among us in a mighty way, we pray. Amen.
4. Winter Wedding
We thank you, loving Lord, that even in the cold of winter, love shines brightly and warms those whom it touches. We thank you that N. and N. have found such love and have come to this place to make public the vow already made in the sanctuary of their hearts. Be present among us, O Lord, and bless this holy union. In the name of Jesus, amen.
