Example Wedding Blessing

Below is a suggested Wedding Blessing layout. However there is not a set formal way to word a Wedding Blessing. Some couples choose to have a Wedding Blessing or Wedding Celebration service after getting married abroad. They return home and wish to have their marriage blessed by a priest or other religious leader.

Wedding Blessings can also take place when couples want to marry outside, for example in a Garden. A couple can not be legally married this way as a marriage needs to take place in a solid building. Some couples, therefore, choose to get married in a registry office and a few days later choose to have a Wedding Blessing Service in a place of their choice.

Wedding Blessings which require more than 4 printed pages (1 folded insert, printed on 4 sides) may incur an extra charge. Orders will be quoted at the time of proofing (once the Wedding Blessing has been type set). This is so the printer can confirm exactly how many pages are required. You will then be sent an invoice for the extra pages, if you are unhappy with the quote you may cancel the order.

Typeface

A wide choice of typefaces and ink colours are available. However, due to the printing process used it is not possible to have raised ink on Wedding Blessings. Please note that the inserts for Wedding Blessings will be printed in flat black ink. However, the first page of the booklet will be printed in the ink colour of your choice.

Once you have placed your order we kindly request that you forward your Wedding Blessing layout to us via email at sales@love2print.co.uk .

Hymn

And did those feet in ancient time
walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O Clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
till we have built Jerusalem
in England's green and pleasant land"
A Service of Blessing



Hymn

Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesu, thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart.Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy grace receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more thy temple leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve thee as thy hosts above;
Pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
Glory in thy perfect love.
