It’s a Hebrew tradition that to begin weddings, we say a prayer to ask God’s blessing upon _________ and _________. Let us all bow our heads.

Blessed are you, O Lord, King of the Universe, who created happiness and joy, bridegroom and bride, gladness, jubilation, dancing, and delight, love and brotherhood, peace and fellowship. Quickly, O Lord our God, may the sound of mirth and joy be heard in the streets of Judah and Jerusalem, and right here in (city), the voice of bridegroom and bride, jubilant voices of bridegrooms from their canopies and youths from the feasts of song. Blessed are you, O Lord, who makes the bridegroom rejoice with the bride. Amen

The tradition of marriage goes back to the beginning of creation, when God created the first man and the first woman, and he married them together on that, the sixth day, when he created them, which is why we gather here together here on a Friday - to commemorate the first marriage - anointed by God. The covenant that these two enter into is a sacred one dating back to creation itself, and it is done here under the canopy, in the presence of God and of we as witnesses to the vows they make today.
Vows: The vows you make today are sacred, and they are made on a foundation of faith and trust. You make them to each other, but you also make them to God to lift you up and pour blessings upon you.

____, ____, in the site of these witnesses and before Almighty God, are you ready to pledge yourselves to one another?
_________: I am.
_________: I am.

Now that we’ve sealed the covenant between these two... a reading of the seven blessings.
Blessed are you, O lord our God, King of the Universe who has created all things for Your glory. Blessed art You, O lord our God, King of the Universe, creator of man. Blessed art You, O lord our God, King of the Universe who made man in his image, after his likeness. O Lord, make these two young people greatly rejoice even as you rejoiced in your creation in the Garden of Eden of old. Blessed are You, O Lord, who makes this groom and bride rejoice this day. Blessed art You, O lord our God, King of the Universe, who has created joy and gladness, bridegroom and bride, mirth and exultation, pleasure and delight, love, brotherhood, peace and fellowship. Soon may there be heard in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem and of (place), the voice of joy and gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the jubilant voice of the bridegrooms from the canopies, and of youths from their feasts of song. Blessed art you, O Lord who makes the bridegroom to rejoice with the bride.

And now, a I would like to give you the blessing of Aron... May the Lord bless you and keep you. May God’s countenance be upon you, be gracious to you, as we wish you peace, Mazel Tov, and Siman Tov! Amen

I now pronounce you husband/wife/partner and husband/wife/partner.

You may now kiss!
