 Prayer
Priest Let us pray to the Lord.
Choir Lord, have mercy.
Priest Blessed are You, O Lord our God, the Priest of
mystical and pure marriage, and the Ordainer of the
law of the marriage of the body, the Preserver of
immortality, and the Provider of good things; do
You, the same Master, Who in the beginning made
man and set him to be a king over Your creation,
and said: It is not good for man to be alone on the
earth; let us make a helper for him; and fashioned
Woman which, when Adam beheld, he said: this is
now bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh, she shall
be called Woman. For this cause shall a man leave
father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
and the two shall be one flesh; and those whom God
has joined together, let no man put asunder. Do now
also, O Master, our Lord and our God, send down
your heavenly grace upon these Your servants,
N…… and N……; and grant that this Your
handmaid may, in all things, be pleasing unto her
husband; and that this Your servant may love and
cherish his wife, that they may live according to
Your will.

• Remember, O Lord our God, your servants the

• Remember O Lord our God, Your servant, N……, and

• Exalt them like the cedars of Lebanon, like a luxuriant
vine, that, having sufficiency in all things, they may
abound in every work that is good and acceptable unto
You. And let them behold their children's children
about their table, like a newly-planted olive orchard,
that, obtaining favour in your sight, they may shine like

• For to You belong all glory, honour, and adoration: to

Priest Let us pray to the Lord.
Choir Lord, have mercy.
Priest O holy God, who created man out of the dust, and
fashioned his wife, and joined her unto him as a
helper, for it seemed good to your majesty that man
should not be alone upon the earth. Do, the same
Lord, extend Your hand from your holy dwelling-
place, and join this your servant, N……, and this
your handmaid, N……1, for by You is the husband
united unto the wife.
Unite them in one mind and one flesh, and grant
unto them fair children for education in your faith
and fear; for yours is the majesty, and yours is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; now
and forever, and to the ages of ages.
Choir Amen.

Priest Let us attend!

Reader You have set upon their heads crowns of precious

stones; they asked life of You, and You gave it to them.

Priest Wisdom!

Reader The Lesson from the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the
Ephesians.

Priest Let us attend!

Reader Brethren: Give thanks always for all things unto God
the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Wives, submit yourselves unto Your own husbands, as
unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the Church: and He is the
Saviour of the body. Therefore as the Church is subject
unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in
everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the Church, and gave Himself for it;

 that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing
of water by the word, that He might present it to
Himself a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle,
or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without
blemish. So ought men to love their wives, as their own
bodies. He that loves his wife, loves himself. For no
man ever yet hates his own flesh; but nourishes and
cherishes it, even as the Lord the Church: for we are
members of His body, of his flesh, and of His bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be
one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the Church. Nevertheless, let
everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as
himself; and the wife see that she reverences her
husband.

Priest Peace be to you, reader.

At that time, there was a marriage in Cana of
Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus
also was invited to the marriage, with His disciples.
When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to
Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her,
“O woman, what have I to do with you? My hour
has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants,
“Do whatever He tells you. “Now six stone jars were
standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification,
each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to
them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled
them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw
some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.” So
they took it.

 When the steward of the feast had tasted the water
now become wine, and did not know where it came
from (though the servants who had drawn the water
knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom
and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine
first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor
wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
This, the first of His signs, Jesus did in Cana of
Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples
believed in Him.

 The Common Cup

Priest Let us pray to the Lord.

Choir Lord, have mercy.

Then the Priest says the following prayer of blessing of the

Common Cup.
Priest O God, who has created all things by your might,
and has made fast the round world, and adorns the
crown of all things which You have made: Bless now,
with your spiritual blessing, this Common Cup,
which You give to those who are now united in
community of marriage: for blessed is your name,
and glorified is your kingdom, of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and forever, and
to the ages of ages.
Choir Amen

The priest gives the newly-wedded pair to drink of the Cup, thrice
each, in token of their common life together. Meanwhile, the
following hymn is sung:

Priest I will take up the cup of salvation and call upon the
name of the Lord

When they have partaken, the Bridegroom takes the Bride’s right
hand in his left, and followed by their attendants, they walk three
times around the Analogion, the Priest preceding them, and
censing as he goes.
Meanwhile, the following hymns are sung:

 Removal of Crowns

Priest Let us pray to the Lord

Choir Lord, have mercy.

Priest O Lord our God, who had blessed the crown of the
year, and had permitted these crowns to be laid upon
those who are united to one another by the law of
marriage, thereby granting to them a reward for
continence; for they are pure who are united in the
marriage which You had made lawful: We pray You
to bless also, in the removal of these crowns, those
who have been united to one another, and keep their
union indissoluble; that they may evermore give
thanks unto Your all-holy Name, of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and forever,
and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Choir Amen.

Priest Peace be to you all.
Choir And to your spirit.
Priest Bow your heads unto the Lord.
Choir To You, O Lord.
Priest These your servants, having come together in
concord, O Lord, and having accomplished the
compact of marriage, as at Cana of Galilee, and
contracted the pledges thereof, ascribe glory to You:
to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
Now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.
And then the normal dismissal
May He who, by His presence at the marriage feast
in Cana of Galilee, declared marriage to be an
honorable estate, Christ our true God: through the
prayers of His all-holy Mother; of the holy, glorious
and all-laudable Apostles; of the holy God-crowned
Kings and Saints-equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine
and Helena; of the holy Great Martyr Procopius;
and of all the Saints, have mercy upon us and save
us: forasmuch as He is good and loves mankind.
Choir Amen.
Priest Through the prayers of our holy fathers,
O Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and
save us.
Choir Amen
