הַגָּפֶן.
2. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהַכֹּל
בָּרָא לִכְבוֹדוֹ.

4. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר יָצַר
אֶת הָאָדָם בְּצַלְמוֹ, בְּצֶלֶם דְּמוּת תַּבְנִיתוֹ, וְהִתְקִין לוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ
בִּנְיַן עֲדֵי עַד: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, יוֹצֵר הָאָדָם.
5. שׂוֹשׂ תָּשִׂישׂ וְתָגֵל הָעֲקָרָה, בְּקִבּוּץ בָּנֶיהָ לְתוֹכָהּ
בְּשִׂמְחָה: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, מְשַׂמֵּחַ צִיּוֹן בְּבָנֶיהָ.
6. שַׂמַּח תְּשַׂמַּח רֵעִים הָאֲהוּבִים, כְּשַׂמֵּחֲךָ יְצִירְךָ
בְּגַן עֵֽדֶן מִקֶּֽדֶם: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, מְשַׂמֵּֽחַ חָתָן וְכַלָּה.
7. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא
שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה, חָתָן וְכַלָּה, גִּילָה רִנָּה דִּיצָה וְחֶדְוָה, אַהֲבָה
וְאַחֲוָה שָׁלוֹם וְרֵעוּת, מְהֵרָה יְיָ אֱלֹהֵ-ינוּ יִשָּׁמַע בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה
וּבְחוּצוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָיִם, קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה, קוֹל חָתָן וְקוֹל
כַּלָּה, קוֹל מִצְהֲלוֹת חֲתָנִים מֵחֻפָּתָם, וּנְעָרִים מִמִּשְׁתֵּה נְגִינָתָם:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, מְשַׂמֵּחַ חָתָן עִם הַכַּלָּה.
- Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who creates the fruit
of the vine.
- Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has created all
things for His glory.
- Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, Creator of man.
- Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who created man in
His image, in the image [of His] likeness [He fashioned] his form, and prepared
for him from his own self an everlasting edifice. Blessed are You L-rd, Creator
of man.
- May the barren one [Jerusalem] rejoice and be happy at the ingathering of
her children to her midst in joy. Blessed are You L-rd, who gladdens Zion with
her children.
- Grant abundant joy to these loving friends, as You bestowed gladness upon
Your created being in the Garden of Eden of old. Blessed are You L-rd, who gladdens
the groom and bride.
- Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who created joy and
happiness, groom and bride, gladness, jubilation, cheer and delight, love, friendship,
harmony and fellowship. L-rd our G-d, let there speedily be heard in the cities
of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem the sound of joy and the sound of happiness,
the sound of a groom and the sound of a bride, the sound of exultation of grooms
from under their chupah, and youths from their joyous banquets. Blessed are
You L-rd, who gladdens the groom with the bride.
In many communities, it is customary to insert the following hymn in the leader's
introduction to the Grace after Meals:
דְּוַי הָסֵר וְגַם חָרוֹן וְאָז אִלֵּם בְּשִיר יָרוֹן. נְחֵנוּ בְּמַעְגְלֵי
צֶדֶק, שְׁעֵה בִּרְכַּת בְּנֵי יְשׁוּרוּן (בְּנֵי אַהַרוֹן).
Remove distress, and also wrath,
Then the dumb will burst forth in song;
He shall lead us in straight paths,
Accepting the blessing of the children of Jeshurun [Aaron].

Good question. The answer is that the blessing over the wine is both the first and the last of the blessings. You see, when the blessings are recited under the chupah, the blessing over the wine is recited before the other six blessings. However, when the blessings are said after the Grace After Meals at a (post)wedding feast, the blessing over the wine is recited last.

Why is the blessing "Boreh pre ha'gafen" listed as the first blessing? Isn't it the last blessing recited when doing sheva brachos?
