Jonathan & Kacie Got Hitched!


God, you are so good to us. You have provided great friends in Jonathan and Kacie. We are excited with them, and promise to rejoice with them and cry with them when the time comes. Now is a time to rejoice. God, you truly are so good to us.

Psalm 128 is called the marriage prayer as it was often sung at Jewish weddings. Here it is. We pray it over Jonathan and Kacie.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in his ways.
You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
Your sons will be like olive shoots
around your table.
Thus is the man blessed
who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion
all the days of your life;
may you see the prosperity of
Jerusalem,
and may you live to see your
children's children.
Peace be upon Israel.
