Prayer For Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
Dear Lord, we gather in this place in a spirit of celebration and gratitude. Thank you for the blessing of bringing (name) and (name) together in marriage today. We ask you to bless their marriage, their family, and all of their relationships. Help them stay strong in any adversity, and to treasure and protect the joy of marriage. May we, as their family and friends, commit to uphold and encourage them to the best of our ability. Please bless this food we are about to receive, and let this reception be an honor to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Thank you, Creator, for bringing (name) and (name) together in such a happy way. We ask the Universe to bless this couple and their future together. May happiness and joy be a hallmark of their relationship. As they explore their love for each other, establish a home, and build a life together, may they be strengthened by the love and encouragement of those gathered here today. If times get hard, may they remember the commitment they made today and the joy that brought them together. Help them to learn from one another and grow strong as both individuals and a couple. May the food we eat now bring strength to us, and may we all enjoy this time of celebration and friendship. Amen.
Heavenly Father, the love between man and woman which matures into marriage is one of your most beautiful kind of love that exists. And now we are celebrating that love with _____________________ and _________________________.
Give them wisdom and devotion in the ordering of their common life, that they may be to each other a strength in need, a councillor in perplexity, a comfort in sorrow, and a companion in joy.
Grant that their will may be so knit together in Your will and their spirits in your Spirit, that they may grow in love and peace with you and one another all the days of their lives.
Give them grace, when they hurt each other, to recognize and acknowledge their fault, and to seek each other's forgiveness and yours.
Make their life together a sign of Christ's love to this sinful and broken world, that unity may overcome estrangement, forgiveness to heal guilt, and joy to conquer despair.
Bestow on them the gift and heritage of children, and the grace to bring them up to know you, to love you, and to serve you.
Give them such fulfilment in their affection for each other that they may reach out in love and concern for others.
And Father we thank you for the food that we are about to partake. We ask you to take your place in our tables and be our special guest. As this food nourishes our body and mind, let your Spirit feeds our souls.
This we pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
We thank You for providing for us, we ask that You bless this food, and bless those who have worked to prepare it. Thank You for being in our midst, for allowing us to enjoy good fellowship, and for being the perfect example of love. Just as this meal nourishes us and makes us healthy, we ask that You will give this couple a long and healthy life together.
