Here is the grace I was asked to write for the occasion the 50th wedding anniversary of my aunt and uncle. It was also used for grace at a friend’s wedding celebration.
50th Anniversary Grace

Dearest Lord, God above,
Who gave us hearts and taught us love,
Bless all who gather here today
To celebrate from far away.
Family and friends, we all rejoice.
Our spirits and hearts are all one voice.
Our feast is prepared, our table spread.
We thank You for our daily bread.
We humbly ask your presence, Lord.
Nourish us with your Holy Word.
We ask this here in Jesus name
As he once in Cana did the same.
Amen.
