Heavenly Father, in Your great love You established marriage as a blessing and grace for your people. Bless and guide this couple who are preparing to celebrate this wonderful sacrament. Give them patience, peace, and joy as their wedding day draws near. Strengthen their love for one another, for their families, and for You. May the prayerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the bridal guest at Cana, be theirs all the days of their lives. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord. Amen.
