Thank you, Father God, for this happy occasion that we celebrate. Thank you for giving us love and marriage. Thank you for the gift of husband and wife. Thank you for the tender love that you have instilled in Allison and Jason.
As we gather around these tables to partake of the abundance and blessings of life, we thank you for loving and supportive families, loyal and kind friends, and the love and grace that comes from you, O God, made evident in the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Lord. We pray that the goodness that comes from this display of good things will nourish us, sustain us, and deepen our hearts to be faithful servants of Christ.
Bless our time together and the joy of warm fellowship that comes from the Holy Spirit. All these things we pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
