Getting married always involves a leap of faith – faith in life, in yourself – that you will be able to find the inner and outer resources needed to overcome whatever challenges the future may present you with – in order to sustain the loving relationship that you are committing to today.
Which raises the question: where you turn when in need of extra strength or courage to face up to life’s difficulties?
If your personal spirituality or worldview includes the possibility of aid and support from a divine presence, from guides or angels, from your ancestors, or other helpful unseen presences, you might like to incorporate a spoken prayer or a period of silent reflection into your ceremony.
Is there a prayer, invocation or inspirational reading from your own spiritual tradition, or one that inspires you, that you would like to have read as part of your ceremony?
