O God, you have so consecrated the covenant of marriage that in it is represented the spiritual unity between Christ  and his Church: Send therefore your blessing upon these your  servants, that they may so love, honor, and cherish each other  in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness,  that their home may be a haven of blessing and peace;  through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you  and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, bless, preserve, and keep you; the Lord mercifully with his favor  look upon you, and fill you with all spiritual benediction and  grace; that you may faithfully live together in this life, and  in the age to come have life everlasting. Amen.

The Peace
