A royal marriage is both a personal event and an occasion of state – especially when one of those involved is in direct line to the throne. It is telling that the wedding prayer, composed by Prince William and his bride, mixed both those elements.
"God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage. In the busyness of each day, keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union, help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the Spirit of Jesus Christ."
