Nuptial Blessing Shorter

Two fruit trees grow side by side along a low garden wall, with supported branches and pale blossoms.
May faithful love be tended through the ordinary seasons of life.

Be appeased, O Lord, by our humble prayers, and in Your kindness assist this institution of marriage which You have ordained for the propagation of the human race; so that this union made here, joined by Your authority, may be preserved by Your help. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
