| An Apache Wedding 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 for the other. Now there is no more loneliness. Now you are two persons, But thereis only one life before you. May your days together be good And long upon the earth. |

| Blessing For A Marriage By James Dillet Freeman May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring and may life also grant you patience, tolerance and understanding. May you always need one another, not so much to fill your emptiness as to help you to know your fullness. A mountain needs a valley to be complete; The valley does not make the mountain less, but more; And the valley is more a valley because it has a mountain towering over it. So let it be with you and you. May you need one another, but not out of weakness. May you want one another, but not our of lack. May you entice one another, but not compel one another. May you embrance one another, but not out encircle one another. May you succeed in all-important ways with one another, and not fail in the little graces. May you look for things to priase, often say, "I love you!" and take no notice of small faults. If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have good sense enough to take the first step back. May you enter into the mystery, which is the awarness of one another's presence -No more physical than spiritual, warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities. May you have happiness, and may you find it making one another happy! May you have love, and may you find it loving one another! |
| The Most Wondering Of All Things In Life By Sir Hugh Walpole The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progression of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life. |
| To Be One With Each Other By George Eliot: What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories? |
| An Irish Wedding Blessing You are the star of each night You are the brightness of each morning You are the story of each guest You are the report of every land No evil shall befall you, on hill or in glen. Neither above, nor below, neither in sea Nor on shore, in skies above Nor in depths below You are the kernel of my heart You are the face of my sun You are the harp of my music You are the crown of my company |
| Wedding Prayer By Robert Louis Stevenson Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank you for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us, for the hope with which we expect the morrow, for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth. Amen. |

| An Excerpt From "The Prophet" By Khalil Gilbran You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore... Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and e oyous, but let each of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart. |
