Can anyone tell me where to find the Marriage Feast Of Canna in the Bible.?

I am getting married and would like to have this passage read. If anyone else has any suggestions for a reading by all means let me know. Thanks PS.. It does not necessarily have to be from the Bible..

Can anyone tell me where to find the Marriage Feast Of Canna in the Bible.?
John 2





Jesus Changes Water to Wine





1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."


4"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."





5His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."





6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[a]





7Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.





8Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."





They did so, 9and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."





11This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.











*** Congratulations! ***
Reply:Wedding feast is from John Chapter 2 verses 1-11.





We had the Apache Blessing read at our ceremony. You can find it here: http://www.tbwo.us/Ceremony/apache.htm





There is a longer version, which is what we used. I couldn't find it online so here it is:





Apache Blessing











Now you will feel no rain,


For each of you will be shelter for the other.





Now you will feel no cold,


For each of you will be warmth to the other.





Nor there will be no loneliness,


For each of you will be companion to the other.





Now you are two persons,


But there is only one life before you.





May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead,


And through all the years.





May happiness be your companion


And your days together be good and long upon the earth.





Treat yourselves and each other with respect,


And remind yourselves often of what brought you together.





Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness,


and kindness that your connection deserves.





When frustration, difficulties and fear assail your relationship,


As they threaten all relationships at one time or another,


Remember to focus on what is right between you,


Not only the part which seems wrong.





In this way, you can ride out the storms


When clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives—


Remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment,


The sun is still there.





And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together,


It will be marked by abundance and delight.
Reply:Look in John 2. I think that is what you are looking to find.

1 Corinthians 13 (New International Version)


New International Version (NIV)

1 Corinthians 13


Love


1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.


4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.





8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.





13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
