A Wedding Prayer: What Special Memories Do You Hold From Your Wedding Day?
Editor’s Note: I often think back to all of those that helped make our wedding day special, and I remember all of the good wishes and blessings that were bestowed upon us on that crazy, incredible day.
Looking back, I can really appreciate the Scripture readings, the Homily and all the many prayers for goodwill that have since been realized in our lives.
When Nadene Woelfel generously shared with me a special wedding prayer that she prepared several years ago, I was moved by the words and reminded once again of all the God-given blessings that marriage provides. I asked Nadene if I could share her prayer here for your enjoyment, and she generously agreed and provided a bit of background about the honor of being asked to provide such a cool gift to a newly married couple. Enjoy!
A few years ago I was asked to say the prayer for my Cousin’s wedding. I thought, “Wow, what an honor and how wonderful to be asked.”
Then, I started to write and it was not easy. I wanted to portray to my cousin and her new husband my wishes for them in the future, and of course I wanted it to be perfect.
So, for all of you who may be struggling with a similar duty honor I want to share my prayer.
