Give them your blessing.
Grant them happiness, wholeness and long life together and help us to support them with our love.

Eternal love never fails; our love needs to forgive and be forgiven. As we pray and forgive we minister reconciliation. Those who marry are God’s ministers to each other of reconciliation and change. As they grow together, wife and husband foster one another’s strengths, they provide each other with the reassurance and love needed to overcome their weaknesses. From this beginning God draws them now to a new life. They become awake to each other, aware of each other, sensitive to each other’s needs.

You have made promises to each other, and have symbolised these by joining hands and giving and receiving rings.   May God enrich the life you have chosen, and fulfil your hopes. We welcome you now as husband and wife.
