    Prayers:

    Marriage Prayer

    Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong LOVE that grew between us, to work that LOVE into practical things so nothing can divide us.  We ask for words both kind and loving and hearts always ready to ask for forgiveness as well as to forgive. 
    Dear Lord, we put our marriage into your hands.  Amen

    Prayer of Prince William and Kate Middleton
    at their Wedding

    God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage.
    In the business of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy.
    Strengthened by our union, help us to serve and comfort those who suffer.
    We ask this in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
    Amen
