On your son’s wedding day, your son will likely be quite nervous. Because it is his wedding, he will be thinking about the weather, the guests, the preparations, and so much more. However, aside from your son and his fiancée, as a father, you are also concerned for the wedding ceremony and your son. Hence, praying for your son and his wedding day is one of the best things a father can do.
Father in heaven, I thank You because You are also delighting in this wedding ceremony that is about to happen. May we have a glorifying wedding ceremony towards You, and may everything go well. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

What Can You Pray For Your Son’s Wedding Day?
The things you can pray for your son’s wedding day should include the matters that he is concerned with regarding his wedding. As someone who also had your own wedding, you already know what your son’s concerns may be for his wedding. With that, you can pray for good weather, especially that there will be no heavy rain and that the sunshine will be bright (if it’s a day wedding). You can also pray for the guests to arrive safely and on time. Pray also that the wedding ceremony itself will go smoothly, as well as the reception. For the reception, you can pray that the food is served on time and that the catering service that has been hired will do their job and satisfy all the guests with the food.
However, certain concerns or matters in your son’s wedding may be new to you due to the generation gap. For example, things such as “same-day edits” may not have existed or been offered during your time. Especially if, during your younger years, photos were still taken using film. The point is that some concerns or matters he is having may be new to you. Given that, you can simply observe or ask your son what other things he is concerned about. You do this to pray for them and so that, as a father, you can fully be there for him.
As you pray for your son’s wedding, you shouldn’t just pray for the food, weather, program, photographers, and videographers but for the wedding itself. Remember that a wedding is more than just a program. It is a ceremony where a man and a woman come before God to make a life-long covenant with Him (What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mark 10:9). It is an act of worship before God. Therefore, we should also pray that it is a God-glorifying wedding and a moment where God is highly exalted.

Father in heaven, remind our son and our guests that the wedding is not just a program where the couple signs a contract and celebrates. More than that, it is a ceremony where they enter into a covenant with You, promising to love and serve one another and glorify You with their marriage. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

How Can You Pray For Your Son’s Wedding Day?
You can pray for your son’s wedding day by praying for the matters that concern him. You do this by lifting those prayer requests directly to God (Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:6-7). We have listed some of those concerns above, but it is a good idea to ask your son what you can pray for on his wedding day. Not only does it show your concern, but it also shows your love and care as a father who wants him to have the best possible wedding. You can also observe and pray for certain matters if you have observed something specific on the day. For example, if you have seen that the skies are gray, you should pray for good weather. If you see that the ceremony starts in 15 minutes, but the guests are not yet there, you can pray for them to arrive on time.

However, in the end, a good principle you can remember as you pray for your son’s wedding day is for God to ultimately be glorified. If you keep that principle in mind, it will guide all your prayers and allow you to offer good prayers for your son’s wedding day.
Most of all, don’t forget to pray for your son. He may feel butterflies in his stomach, anxieties, or worries, but that is where the principle of glorifying God comes in. The prayer you pray for him is that your son, in the end, will see his wedding not as a program that must be perfect but a ceremony where he is about to make a covenant with the love of his life before God.
Father in Heaven, I pray that the weather today shall be good and that no heavy rain shall come. May we have good lighting today so the photos are beautiful to commemorate this special day. I also pray that all the technical details shall go smoothly. I pray that my son will have a Christ-exalting and glorifying wedding today, where Your glory is displayed, with him and his fiance coming together and making a covenant before You. I pray that my son shall enjoy the wedding more than the trivial concerns and savor this moment when you are about to join him and his fiancée. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

You and your son may have concerns regarding the wedding day, but remember that it’s a day to celebrate, be joyful, and not worry. As you cast the cares that you have to God in prayer (Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.1 Peter 5:6-7), you can rest assured that everything will be covered. Remember that a wedding is for glorifying God and not for executing a perfect program.
