Oh Father, My heart is filled with a happiness so wonderful that I am almost afraid. This is my wedding day promise and I pray Thee that the beautiful joy of this morning may never grow dim with years of regret for the step I am about to take. Father, May the memories become more sweet and tender with each passing anniversary. Thou has sent me one who seems all worthy of my deepest regard. Grant me that power to keep him ever true and loving as now. May I prove indeed a help-meet, a sweetheart, a friend, a steadfast guiding star among all the temptations that beset the impulsive heart of men. Give me skill to make home the best loved place of all. Help me to make its light shine farther than any glow that would dim it's radiance. Let me, I pray thee, meet the little misunderstandings and cares of my new life bravely. Be with me as I start on my mission of womenhood, and stay Thou my path from failure all the way. Walk Thou with me even to the end of our journey.

Oh Father, Bless my wedding day, Hallow my marriage night, Sanctify my motherhood, If thou seest fit to grant me that privilege.

And when all my youthful charms are faded, and the cares and lessons of life have left their touches, let physical fascination give way to the greater charm of companionship, and so may we walk hand in hand down the highway to the Valley of Final Shadow, which we will then be able to lighten with the sunshine of good and happy lives.

Oh Father, This is my Prayer.
