We are writing our own verses for the prayer of the faithful, I have a general idea of what I want to say but I'm still playing around with the wording, is anyone willing to share what they used for their own?  I am particually interested to see any verses about a prayer for our future children as well as one for animals/pets, so far I think I am doing
1. For the church
2. For our family and friends
3. For all married couples
4. For our future children
5. For animals/pets
6. For those that have died

    My cousin's prayer for their marriage was something like,

    For Bride and Groom, married today, and all married couples.  May they be blessed with long lives, happy memories, wine, good friends, children, etc., etc.

    Basically just a few of the things they enjoyed as a couple and hoped for.

    They also included a mention of the bride's father, who died back in 2004.

    There are four items that should be mentioned in some way

    Government
    Sick
    those who have died.

    Regarding animals...check with your priest on that one.
