A prayer at a wedding.

O Holy God,
the one who is called Love itself:
bind these people together in love, as family -
     that in your unity of Spirit we might find unity;
     that in your peace we might never see discord;
     that all life brings them might be overcome by joy, in your promise.

You are the one who makes our lives, and calls them good.
     You are the creator of all things, great and small,
     of relationships and children,
     of guidance and purpose.

Help us to root ourselves in the foundation of your love,
     that our joy may be secure, and our souls complete.
You are completion itself:
     the fulfillment of long waiting,
     the answer to our hearts,
     and the law for which we long.
You are our strength to live responsibly.
You are our guide to right duty.
You are the Way.

In Jesus' name, we commend this love to you.
Bless it, and nurture it,
     and may time see it grow,
     from this day forth and forevermore.

Your word is a lamp to our hearts.
Your word teaches us how we should pray,
     as your family, we who are children of God--
     so we pray, each in our own words, the prayer your Son taught us to pray,

     saying...  Our Father.
