Including Bible verses in a wedding ceremony can add depth and meaning to the occasion. Here are some popular Bible verses often used in weddings:
1 Corinthians 13:4-8:
(4) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
(5) or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
(6) it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
(7) Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
(8) Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Ephesians 5:22-33:
(22) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
(23) For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
(24) Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
(25) Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
(26) that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
(27) so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
(28) In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
(29) For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church,
(30) because we are members of his body.
(31) “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
(32) This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
(33) However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12:
(9) Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
(10) For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
(11) Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?
(12) And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him, a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7:
(6) Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.
(7) Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.
Colossians 3:14:
(14) And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
Genesis 2:24:
(23) Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
(24) Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
(25) And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
Ruth 1:16-17:
(16) But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.
(17) Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”
