Heavenly Father,

Love has been your richest and greatest gift to this world.
Love between a man and a woman which matures into marriage.
Today, we celebrate that love.
Lord for the joy of this occasion, we thank You.
For Your presence here and now and at all times, we thank You.
Protect, guide, and bless Christian and Elfie and everyone present here.
Surround us with Your love now and always.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
