Re: catholic brides question- prayer of the faithful?
The prayer of the faithful isn't a standard written prayer - it's the responsorial psalm -- where prayers are offered and people respond to them.
For example, the reader might say,
'For all those in our parish family who are sick, including Jane Doe, etc., etc. We pray to the Lord.'
and the congregation replies 'Lord hear our prayer.'
This is just an example - they can be for anything. This was the first that came to mind...
They can be happier than that, LOL!

Yup, you got it!
Not sure about writing your own, but I think you do... Probably best to ask the priest!

We had someone read ours. There were a couple we could choose from in the book we received from the church. We made a few changes though to make it more personal.

Have you done pre-cana yet? There are ones you can choose from the book you get at pre-cana OR you have the option of writing your own.

We made some of ours up including people that were engaged or expecting & saying a prayer for them & also for the people who passed away. It was special.
