our shared love by wendy haynes
Our love is rich
With trust, honesty and freedom
Freedom to be, freedom to love
to laugh and cry
to dance and to be still
The joy of being happy with oneself,
expands our joy with each other
Embracing our time together
and enjoying our time we have apart
Our willingness and presence to be alert,
awake and conscious,
gives our relationship strength,
softness and beauty.
Conscious of our own and the others needs and expectations.
Awareness of the grace that underlies our experiences,
our troubles, our challenges
Alert to the preciousness and sensitivity of all human love
Our shared love is a gift
A rich and priceless gift
foundations of friendship by wendy haynes
Trust, compatibility and ease with each other
Are the foundations of your friendship
Which is your gift to each other
Take time with one another
Hold each other often
Speak with honesty and care
Listen with respect and trust
Both give and receive your love and friendship with an open heart
May this keep your marriage strong and vibrant
And may you hold hands for many years to come as you walk together
May you keep your love fresh and alive
Keeping the joy in your lives and in your marriage
growing together by wendy haynes
Our love gets stronger every day
Grace blesses us in every way
Let us live and laugh together
Let us plan and dream together
Let us grow in health and happiness together
Our hands and hearts are joined
In love and in trust we stand
Today I marry my dearest friend
and my closest companion.
Thank you for all you have given me.

hindu wedding verse
May you always nourish one another
May you grow in strength as one
May you preserve your wealth
May you share your joys and sorrows
May you care for your children
May you be together forever
May you remain lifelong friends
May you be the perfect halves to make the perfect whole.
May this union be unbreakable
my heart is like a singing bird by christina rossetti
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot:
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halycon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
rig veda
United your resolve, united your hearts
may your spirits be at one,
that you may long together dwell
in unity and harmony
apache wedding prayer
May the sun bring you new strength by day
May the moon softly restore you by night
May the rain wash away your fears
and the breeze invigorate your being
May you, all the days of your life,
Walk gently through the world and know its beauty
love by kahlil gibran
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 the 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 others keeping
For only the hands 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.
corinthians
Love is patient, love is kind and envies no-one
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude
Never selfish, nor quick to take offence,
Love keeps no score of wrongs,
Does not gloat over other men's sins
But delights in the truth
There is nothing love cannot face
There is no limit to its faith, its hopes and its endurance
Love will never come to an end in a word
There are three things that last forever
Faith, Hope and Love
But the greatest of them all is Love
what you are...
What you are is Gods gift to you
What you make of yourself is your gift to God
May the beauty of your love show in your faces
For this new life holds promises unimagined by the old
So undertake your passage with trust and innocence
For such is the way of love
Honour your passage into marriage
Honour your commitment to each other
And be devout in your intentions and you will be nourished
irish wedding Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall softly upon your fields
And until we meet again
May the good Lord hold you in the Hollow of His hand
May god be with you and bless you
May you see your children’s children
May you be poor in misfortune and rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near
May green be the grass you walk on
May blue be the skies above you
May pure be the joys that surround you
May true be the hearts that love you.
