Proper preparation for the ceremony
If you don’t know how to bless your daughter for marriage, but you sincerely want to do it, start with preparations. You will need:
- special words (think about them in advance, write them down and learn them);
- a towel with which you will pick up the icon (rushnik);
- the icon itself (read below about which one to take).
Take the blessing speech with special responsibility. It shouldn't be long. Wish your daughter and her chosen one family well-being, peace of mind and mutual understanding. Let there also be words about the need to support, understand each other, give in, and seek a compromise. Ideally, you should make several options so that you can then choose the most successful and sincere one.
A few more words about the ritual
As you already understand, the entire blessing process takes place directly on the wedding day, before going to the registry office, but after the groom has paid the ransom.
- This is all done in the bride’s home, because there, beyond the threshold, a new life will begin.
- After their parents’ speeches, the young people kneel on a towel (that is, at this moment you will need another such accessory).
- The mother must cross the couple three times with the icon, then the bride and groom kiss the icon in turn and cross themselves.
- It is advisable that during this process there is silence in the room, and only the persons mentioned are present.
Blessing prayer before the wedding
The blessing of the parents, both the bride and the groom, definitely escorts the children to a happy family life. And this ritual is ancient, which is also highly revered in modern times. The following blessing prayer before the wedding can be said by both the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom:
You, children, (name of the groom) and (name of the bride),
listen to the good word - a parental blessing for a strong family.
Live, don’t shame your parents, have children, add more grandchildren, strengthen your family by force!
Live well, okay, and accordingly, so that your years do not pass in vain.
Live for the joy of people and for the consolation of parents. I bless you!
Orthodox prayer before the wedding
Lord our God, in Thy saving sight, who was vouchsafed in Cana of Galilee to show an honest marriage by Thy coming, Thy servants (names) Himself, who now deigned to unite with each other, preserve them in peace and unanimity: show their honest marriage, keep their undefiled bed, keep their undefiled Bless the cohabitation and make me worthy to achieve greatness in old age, doing Your commandments with a pure heart. For You are our God, the God of mercy and salvation, and we send up glory to You, with Your beginningless Father, Your All-Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Parental prayer before the wedding
Of course, their parents should not ignore the prayer support of the young. Maternal and paternal prayer before the wedding are just as important as the prayers of the young, because experienced parents better understand that married life is a joint feat of patience and love, and they know exactly what to ask God for their children.
On the wedding day, in the morning, it is good for parents and their children to read the morning prayer rule, asking God for blessings for the day.

A powerful prayer to read before the wedding
Orthodox prayer should permeate the entire life of a believer, not to mention important, significant events. Orthodox prayer before a wedding is an old Russian custom. For most people, their wedding day is one of the most important days in their lives, and all newlyweds, without exception, want this day to mark the beginning of a long and happy married life.
On the wedding day, the Orthodox bride and groom must come to the church, where they pray at the Divine Liturgy with the rest of the parishioners, confess and partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. Church prayer before a wedding is very important; it prepares the newlyweds for the great sacrament of marriage.
You need to pray before the wedding not only in the temple, but also at home. It’s good to read prayers and akathists the night before the icons of Christ, the Mother of God and the saints. In addition to the undoubted spiritual benefits, these prayers will calm you down on the eve of such an exciting day.
Wishes for the bride
It is important for the bride to receive her mother’s blessing for a happy marriage; the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is often used for this. This is explained by the fact that the Kazan Icon protected the Russian people from enemy attacks. Before the Kazan Icon they pray:
- girls about happy marriage;
- women about the birth of a child;
- about the well-being of children and families.
The bride herself can pray in front of the Kazan Icon on her wedding day, or the prayer can come from her mother. At church weddings, it is customary for brides to hold this image of the Virgin Mary in their hands.
To bless the daughter, the following prayer is read before the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God:
Zealous Intercessor, Mother of the Lord Most High! Pray for all of Thy Son, Christ our God, and cause all to be saved, seeking refuge in Thy sovereign protection. Intercede for all of us, O Lady, Queen and Lady, who in adversity and sorrow and illness, burdened with many sins, stand and pray to You with a tender soul and a contrite heart before Your Most Pure Image with tears, and the irrevocable hope of those who have in You for deliverance from all evils . Grant usefulness to all and save everything, O Virgin Mother of God: for Thou art the Divine protection of Thy servant.
What else does the mother of the bride need to know?
The future mother-in-law can inquire from the priest about how to bless her daughter before the wedding. You will still go to church for the icon. What will he recommend? Approach the face of the Mother of God, light a candle, pray, ask for happiness for your daughter. The main thing is to sincerely believe that the mother is blessing her little girl, who has grown up so imperceptibly, for a good deed. At home, on your wedding day, take the purchased icon (only with a towel, never with your bare hands!), bless your daughter for a long marriage.
We talked about what kind of speech to give above. There are no special words, everything should be prompted by your heart.
Order of blessing
On the day of marriage, it is necessary to bless your children. This often happens in the bride’s house with the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God after the groom comes there to bathe her.
The newlyweds can receive the blessing of the groom's parents with the icon of the Savior after registration or the wedding, when everyone is going to celebrate the celebration at the table.
There are no strict regulations, but there are certain rules:
- icons cannot be held with bare hands - they must be supported in towels - special towels;
- the icon of the Savior Almighty is always held by the father, and the icon of the Mother of God by the mother;
- The father says the words of prayer or wishes first, then the mother;
- The icons are kissed first by the groom, then by the bride;
- you must cross yourself 3 times in front of the icons;
- in addition to icons, the blessing can take place with a loaf of salt;
- the mother of the bride must cross herself 3 times with icons of the newlyweds;
- the parent's prayer or speech should begin and end with the sign of the cross.
Blessing a son or daughter for family life is extremely important for parents, even if they are not very versed in church rituals and prayers, it is necessary to say parting words.
In the future, they will become the anchor that the young people will hold on to despite all the difficulties in family life.
