Examples of readings and prayers for weddings

The prayer of the spouses is the prayer that the bride and groom read during the religious celebration of the marriage in the church. Although it is recommended that the bride and groom write the sentence themselves, they can also choose an existing one or take inspiration from sample readings if they prefer. The important thing is that the husband and wife identify themselves in the chosen text!

Prayer of the spouses to the Virgin

“Our Mother:

In your name we have united our hearts. We want you to preside over our love; that you defend, preserve and increase our illusion. Remove from our path any obstacle that gives birth to the shadow or the doubts between the two.

Separate us from the selfishness that paralyzes true love.

Deliver us from the lightness that endangers the Grace of our souls.

Make us, by opening our souls, deserve the wonder of finding God in each other.

Make our work help and encouragement to fully achieve them. It preserves the health of our bodies. Solve material needs.

And make the dream of a new home and of children born of our love and of the body, be a reality and a path that leads us straight to your Heart. Amen.”

Khalil Gibran’s Prayer for a Mixed Marriage

“Together you will be when the white wings of death scatter your days.

Yes, together you will remain in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your communion,

and let the winds of heaven dance among you.

Love one another, but do not make love an obstacle:

May it be rather a seething sea between the beaches of your souls.

Fill each other’s cups, but drink from one cup.

Share your bread, but do not eat the same piece.

Dance and sing together and be joyful; but allow each one to be alone,

just as the strings of the lute are separate and yet vibrate with the same harmony.

Give each other your heart, but do not give it to each other in custody.

Since only the hand of Life can guard your hearts.

Live together, but not too close either;

as the pillars of the temple stand at a distance,

and the oak and the cypress do not grow in the shadow of each other.”
