PRAYERS FOR GRACE
 A prayer in the middle of your service may be an appropriate follow-up to
any poetry or scripture that is read. It also provides a quiet moment
before the BIG question and the vows. However, in weddings that need to be
shortened. the prayer portion can be omitted.
PRAYERS FOR GRACE
Gracious God, as {Name 2} and {Name 1} pledge themselves to each other, help them and bless them; that their love may be sure, and their vows may be true. As you have brought these two persons together, inspire them by your Spirit, give them a new frame of heart fit for their new relationship so that with steadfast love they may honour the promises they make this day. Amen.
Gracious God, bless {Name 2}, and {Name 1}, who come now to join themselves together in marriage, that they may give their vows to each other in the strength and spirit of your faithful love. Let the promise of your Word root and grow in their lives. Grant them vision and hope to persevere in trust and friendship all their days. Keep ever before them the needs of your world. By your grace enable them to be true disciples of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.
