The Marriage Vow
I love
you. I have always loved you.
I will marry you, as I love you and no
other.
I make a gift of myself for you, to please
you,
And I accept the gifts from your heart.
My joy
is almost more than I can bear this day.
The heaven, earth, and moon...
The stars, and rivers, and mountains...
Stand silent witness to our promises.
Come
walk with me, my love.
Stroll down life's path at my side,
hand in hand...
Show me what you see.
Teach me what you know.
Love me for who I am and what I am meant
to be,
As we become more of who we really are,
Together as one.
