Morning of the Wedding Day: Bride and Groom Private Offering
📜 Historical & Biblical Origin: Invoking the wedding at Cana in Galilee where Jesus worked His first public miracle, raising human marriage into a holy Sacrament of the New Covenant (John 2:1-11).
🕯️ Liturgical Setting & Posture: Prayed privately by the bride or groom on the morning of the wedding, before putting on wedding attire and traveling to the church.
Lord God of our fathers,
The day has finally arrived that my heart has awaited for so long.
In just a few hours, I will stand before Thy holy altar, surrounded by our families and friends,
to exchange the sacred vows of Holy Matrimony with [Name of Betrothed].
Calm all nervous flutterings in my chest.
Let not the details of dresses, flowers, photographers, and banquets distract my soul
from the awesome reality of the Sacrament I am about to receive.
As Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her,
so grant that I may love [Name] with a sacrificial, patient, and unswerving charity.
Give us the grace to be one flesh and one spirit:
in abundance and poverty, in sickness and health, in youth and old age.
May our home be a sanctuary of faith, purity, and hospitable love.
Send Thy holy angels to guard our wedding ceremony, our marriage feast, and the beginning of our life together.
Holy Family of Nazareth—Jesus, Mary, and Joseph—bless our union this day and for evermore. Amen.
