The seven wedding blessings

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, creator of the fruit of the grapevine.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who created all things for his glory.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who created humanity.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who created man in his image, in the image set forth by his plan, and who prepared from himself a structure to last for all time. Blessed art thou, Lord our God, Creator of humanity.

May the barren (land) rejoice and be glad when its children are gathered back to it in joy. Blessed art thou, Lord our God, who makes Zion rejoice in her children.

May you grant great joy to these dearly beloved, just as you granted happiness to the work of your hands long ago in the Garden of Eden. Blessed art thou, Lord our God, who grants joy to the bridegroom and bride.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who created happiness and joy, bridegroom and bride, rejoicing in song, delight and cheer, love and harmony, peace and fellowship. Soon, O Lord our God, may there be heard in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, a sound of gladness, a sound of joy, a sound of the bridegroom and sound of the bride, the sound of rejoicing from bridegrooms at their weddings, and young people at their feasts of song. Blessed are you, O God, who grants joy to the bridegroom with the bride.
