    How about best wishes? Who is going to be your officiant? They might have some suggestions

    You can look up sample programs with ideas online, there are a lot out there. Although I am not sure if you mean you want one that will fit in your program only? Or in the ceremony as well? You could do a heartfelt thank you to everyone, since a "Blessing" is very specific and there is no way to non-religiously bless. Perhaps something along the lines of 'Our sincerest gratitude goes out to all of our friends and family who traveled from near and far to be with us on this very special day. We appreciate you love, guidance and support.'

    But maybe you mean a blessing of sorts towards the couple? My officiant gave me a TON of them on word doc, message me and I will send them to you if you want.

    Here are the first few, but seriously there are a lot I cant post them all. Now you will feel no rain.

    For each of you will be shelter to the other.

    Now you will feel no cold.

    For each of you will be warmth to the other.

    Now there is no more loneliness.

    For each of you will be companion to the other.

    Now you are two bodies.

    But there is only one life before you.

    Go now to your dwelling place

    To enter into the days of your togetherness.

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

    [Names of bride and groom],

    You are now a family with your family's blessing.

    May joy be the guest at your door.

    May peace be your shelter at night.

    May laughter be the warmth of your heart.

    May your hands hold each other gently,

    Your eyes see only the good,

    Your ears listen only for truth,

    And may every day be filled with love.

    ______________________________________

    May the Spirit of Life give you many years together.

    Ok one more sorry:

    ___and___ have joined themselves together as husband and wife. They are now joined in a bond of love and joy. Let this bond be one of connectedness and fidelity. May the work of their hands be gentle and faithful. May the touch of their hands reach deep into each other’s heart. May the caress of their hands be healing. May the grasp of their hands give strength. And may the hand they hold, hold the other until the end of all their days.
