May God bless you [May you be blessed] with Hope enough to keep sunshine in your love, and Fear enough to keep you holding hands in the dark;
May God bless you with Unity enough to keep your roots entwined, and Separation enough to keep you reaching for each other;
May God bless you with Harmony enough to keep romance in your song, and Discord enough to keep you tuning your love so it becomes sweet music to all who may hear it.

Nothing is easier than saying words, and nothing is harder than living them day by day.  What you promise today, must be renewed and re-decided tomorrow.  At the end of this ceremony, legally, you will be husband and wife, but you must decide each day that stretches out before you, that you want to be married. Real love is something beyond the warmth and glow, the excitement, and romance of being deeply in love.  It is caring as much about the welfare and happiness of your marriage partner as about your own.  But real love is not total absorption in each other; It is looking outward in the same directions - together.  Love makes burdens lighter; because you divide them.  It makes joys more intense because you share them.  Love makes you stronger, so you can reach out and become involved with life in ways you dared not risk alone.

​The Buddha’s Sermon at Rajagaha

Do not deceive, do not despise each other anywhere. Do not be angry nor bear secret resentments; for as a mother will risk her life and watches over her child, so boundless be your love to all, so tender, kind and mild.
Cherish goodwill right and left, early and late, and without hindrance, without stint, be free of hate and envy, while standing and walking and sitting down, whatever you have in mind, the rule of life that is always best is to be loving-kind.

The Buddhist Scriptures, The Buddha’s Sermon at Rajagaha, Verses 19-22

Buddhist Wedding Prayer 
Lama Thubten Yeshe

Today we promise to dedicate ourselves completely to each other, with body, speech, and mind.
In this life, in every situation, in wealth or poverty, in health or sickness, in happiness or difficulty, we will work to help each other perfectly.
The purpose of our relationship will be to attain enlightenment by perfecting our kindness and compassion toward all sentient beings.

​Two Souls, One Life

Before the heavens and the earth, 
when we were still a part of the Great Spirit, 
You and I asked for a journey to be remembered for all time.  

Out of Love our hearts desires answered and we were granted these lives. 

Today, we fulfill that destiny and begin the journey of a lifetime.
  
We were once one soul, then we became two, and were born into this world.

We have lived lives Separate. 
Now, let us give thanks to the Great Spirit for loving us enough to allow our love for each other to be expressed.

Yesterday we were two souls, today we are one life.

On Marriage from The Prophet
 by Khalil Gibran

Then Almitra spoke again and said, “And what of Marriage, master?”
And he answered saying:
–You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, 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.

From, Bread for the Journey
​Author unknown

Many human relationships are like the interlocking fingers of two hands…Human relationships are meant to be like two hands folded together. They can move away from each other while still touching with the fingertips. They can create space between themselves, a little tent, a home, a safe place to be.
“True relationships among people point to God. They are like prayers in the world. Sometimes the hands that pray are fully touching, sometimes there is distance between them. They always move to and from each other, but they never lose touch. They keep praying to the One who brought them together.”

From The Committed Marriage
Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis

​“Under the chuppah (marriage canopy) we pronounce a special blessing that renders the couple loving, kind friends, always at each other’s side, always encouraging each other, and when necessary, criticizing and gently showing where the other erred. God has endowed each of us with unique gifts. When our mates become our best friends, we pool our spiritual resources and strengthen each other. In such a relationship, life’s trials become less threatening, and even the most formidable challenges become manageable. ‘Two are better than one’ is the wise teaching of King Solomon. If one falls, the other is there to pick him/her up. If one is attacked, the other is there to rescue him; if one is depressed, the other is there to buoy her spirits.
“When husband and wife are loving, kind friends, they perceive each other’s feelings so totally that there is no need for explanations. Their relationship is virtually symbiotic. There is total empathy with the needs of the other.”

Excerpt from Greek prayer to Ayron and Hopi Hymn

I invoke Thee, Who art the greatest of all, Who created all, Who generated it from thyself, Who sees all and is never seen. 

We ask Your blessing for BRIDE and GROOM’s tonight as they enter into this cherished covenant.

We ask You to bless this community of friends and family who pledge their love and support of BRIDE and GROOM’s marriage.
​
Infinite One, fly ahead of them
Open the way
Prepare the path
Spirit of the sun
Mother of the light
Come to them!
Amen.

A Blessing for The Journey (Buddhist Prayer)
 Sensei Wendy Egyoku Nakao
​
Let us vow to bear witness to the wholeness of life,
realizing the completeness of each and everything.
Embracing our differences,
I shall know myself as you,
and you as myself.
May we serve each other
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere. 
Let us vow to open ourselves to the abundance of life.
Freely giving and receiving, I shall care for you,
for the trees and stars,
as treasures of my very own.
May we be grateful
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere.
Let us vow to forgive all hurt,
caused by ourselves and others,
and to never condone hurtful ways.
Being responsible for my actions,
I shall free myself and you.
Will you free me, too?
May we be kind
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere. 
Let us vow to remember that all that appears will disappear.
In the midst of uncertainty,
I shall sow love.
Here! Now! I call to you:
Let us together live
The Great Peace that we are.
May we give no fear
for all our days,
here, there, and everywhere.
