The day before

This can be a nerve-wracking time for both bride and groom. You will feel more calm and relaxed if you can have an early night before your wedding. You may find it helpful to light a candle and say the following prayer:

This day has been so long coming, so long planned, so long anticipated, 
Help us relax enough to enjoy it. 
Help us to concentrate enough to appreciate it.
Be with those who have a special part to play and with everyone as they travel to join us.
May this day be all we have hoped for.
May it be a wonderful start to the rest of our lives.
Amen.

Prayer by Andrew Body from Pocket Prayers for Marriage compiled by Andrew & Pippa Body
