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 loneliness for you,
for each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons,
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 this earth
From a Bishop in the 16th Century
Marriage has less beauty
but more safety than the single life.
It's full of sorrows
and full of joys.
It lies under more burdens
but it is supported by all the strengths of love;
and those burdens are delightful.
