Ring Vows (A Celtic vow)

 

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself. But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give. You cannot command me, for I am a free person. But I shall serve you in those ways we desire and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand. I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, and with all that I am, and all that I have. I honor and I cherish you

 

 

Apache Wedding Prayer

 

Now we feel no rain,
for each of us will be shelter to the other.
Now we feel no cold,
for each of us will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no loneliness,
for each of us will be a companion to the other.
We are two bodies,
but there is one life before us and one home.
When evening falls,
I'll look up and there you will be.
I'll take your hand;
you'll take mine and we'll turn together
To look at the road we traveled to reach this - the hour of our happiness.

It stretches behind us,
even as the future lies ahead.
A long and winding road,
whose every turn means discovery.

Old hopes, new laughter, shared fears.
The adventure has just begun.
