3/20/2023 Christian Wedding Ceremony Script 1This Christian ceremony is traditional. It's not very long. You can add different scriptures and a unity ceremony. We can also add your love story or a homily about love and relationships. Christian Wedding Ceremony Script 1 Marriage is a gift of God in creation through which married couples may know the grace of God. It is given that as a couple grows together in love and trust, they shall be united with one another in heart, body and mind, as Christ is united with the Church. The gift of marriage brings two people together in the delight and tenderness of holy union and joyful commitment to the end of their lives. It is given as the foundation of family life in which each member of the family, in good times and in bad, may find strength, companionship, and comfort and grow to maturity in love. Marriage is a way of life made holy by God and blessed by the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ with those celebrating a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Marriage is a sign of unity and loyalty which all should uphold and honor. It enriches society and strengthens the community. No one should enter into it lightly or selfishly but reverently and responsibly in the sight of almighty God.

Today, Name and Name will receive God’s greatest gift; another person to share with, grow with, change with, be joyful with, and to stand with as one when trials and tribulations enter their lives. It is fitting, therefore, that we should, on this occasion, begin by asking for God’s blessing on this marriage. Let us pray. 3/20/2023 Christian Wedding Ceremony Script 6This is my go-to Christian Ceremony for small weddings and elopements.

Stand by them throughout their marriage and fill them with your perfect love so that they may grow in their love for you and for each other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
