Apache Wedding Blessing
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 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.

If you want something a bit different
On Marriage
Kahlil Gibran
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
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 the 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 be joyous, but let each one 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,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

The Bride
by Vicki Rogers
A beaded gown trimmed in lace.
A big smile shows upon her face.
A long white veil covers her head.
Holding a bouquet of flowers what more could be said.
The look of amazement when she sees her man.
The ring he places on her left hand.
These are the things she wears with pride.
For she's not just a father's daughter.
Today she's a bride.

hi found this one
To: My Sister On
Your Wedding Day
I think of all the things we shared
When we were children small.
I close my eyes and travel back
And still can see it all.
Although it was so long ago.
It seems like yesterday.
I sometimes wish those childhood days
Had never gone away.
The closeness only sisters know
Is etched in both our hearts.
And may your hopes and dreams come true
As your new marriage starts.
Please know that in the years to come,
My love for you will grow.
And I’ll be with you every day,
No matter where you go

Marriage
Marriage is about giving and taking
And forging and forsaking
Kissing and loving and pushing and shoving
Caring and Sharing and screaming and swearing
About being together whatever the weather
About being driven to the end of your tether
About Sweetness and kindness
And wisdom and blindness
It's about being strong when you're feeling quite weak
It's about saying nothing when you're dying to speak
It's about being wrong when you know you are right
It's about giving in, before there's a fight
It's about you two living as cheaply as one
(you can give us a call if you know how that's done!)
Never heeding advice that was always well meant
Never counting the cost until it's all spent
And for you two today it's about to begin
And for all that the two of you had to put in
Some days filled with joy, and some days with sadness
Too late you'll discover that marriage is madness

Thank you all knew I could count on you

This is what I am reading at my friend's wedding later this month - it's great if you like a humourous (sp) one:
Yes I’ll marry you.
By Pam Ayres.
Yes, I'll marry you, my dear, and here's the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed, when the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking and it's creepy and it's late,
I hand you the torch you see, and you investigate.
Yes I'll marry you my dear, you may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes, It's you that has to mend it,
You have to face the neighbour, should our Labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me, It's you that has to whack him.
Yes, I'll marry you, you’re virile and your lean,
my house is like a pigsty, you can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner, which you served by candlelight,
as I do chipolatas, you can cook it every night!
It's you who has to work the drill and put up curtain track,
And when I've got PMT, it's you who gets the flack,
I do see great advantages, but none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!
Tinax
