Marriage Blessing

Wedding Blessing

Mary Lee:

Your lives are now joined together as one.

Blessed be both of you in friendship.

Blessed be both of you in love.

May you always tell the truth out of respect for each other.

May you know when to be silent out of that same respect.

May you be free to speak your fears without anger as your guide.

May you heal each other’s harms with a simple touch.

May you lighten the load of the day with words of love.

May you honor each other’s struggles by being a steady strength.

May you grow in understanding and compassion.

May the home you establish be such a place of peace and joy that many will find friendship there.

Tonight, you have promised each other your love, your honor and your respect.

You have exchanged rings to symbolize the undying love in your hearts.

Blessed be your union.
