ceremony blessings and readings
Updated: Jan 31, 2021
Marriage ceremonies sometimes have blessings, like this Old Irish Blessing: ... ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐, ๐บ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐๐ผ๐ณ๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ๐ ... Your choice, your ceremony, your story. Together, we can co-create a unique script and program that will make your ceremony meaningful and memorable.

Marriage ceremonies sometimes have readings. One that I adapted from Robert Fulghum's work, is called โUnionโ and follows:
"You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes, to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making commitments in an informal way.
All of those conversations that were held in a car, or over a meal, or during long walks all those conversations that began with, โWhen weโre marriedโ, and continued with โI willโ and โyou willโ and โwe willโ; โall those late night talks that included โsomedayโ and โsomehowโ and โmaybeโ; and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding.
The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, โYou know all those things that weโve promised, and hoped, and dreamed? ... well, I meant it all, every word."
Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another โacquaintance, friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, parents, even teacher, for you have learned much from one another these past few years. Shortly you shall say a few words that will take you across a threshold of life, and things between you will never quite be the same.
For after today you shall say to the world: This is my husband. This is my wife."
