For Christian couples seeking new ways to keep their wedding day centered on the Lord, we have some ideas for you!
FOCUS ON PRAYER
Prayer Circles
Before the ceremony, invite family and close friends to lay hands on you both in prayer.
Post-Ceremony Group Prayer
End the wedding with everyone in attendance praying together for your new life as a couple.
INCORPORATE SCRIPTURE
Scripture Blessing from Guests
Ask each guest to write down a verse or prayer for your marriage and place it in a keepsake box or Bible.
Scripture-Themed Reception Tables
Each table can feature a different Bible verse about love, family, or community.
UPDATES TO OLD TRADITIONS
Testimony Time
Instead of only speeches, allow parents, mentors, or friends to share a brief testimony or prayer over your relationship.
Service Project in Place of Favors
Instead of traditional favors, donate to a cause or ministry that reflects your values.
Worship Song Instead of a Solo
Replace the traditional solo or instrumental with congregational worship, inviting everyone to sing.
