Heavenly Father

Our father, love has been Your richest and greatest gift to the world. Love between a man and
woman, which mature into marriage, is one of Your most beautiful types of loves. Lord God, we
thank you for the union of hearts of our dear Xed and Grace. On this special day, their wedding
day heaven sings in triumph. For a new love shall unveil the glory of your name. We sincerely
pray that you bless this couple with a love shall unveil the glory of your name. We sincerely pray
that you bless this couple with a love to last forever. In sickness and in health may they find
your strength. In doubts and troubles may they see your light. In hurts and failures may they find
your pardon. In loneliness and desperation may find your joy. Also we pray, that you bless them
with a family so blissful, prosperous and ever healthy. And above all, filled with love, faith and
hope that are founded on you. May your blessing be on this wedding service. Protect, guide and
bless Xed and Grace in the marriage. Surround them and us with Your love now and always.
Amen
