a bit form mom's wedding

Cherokee Prayer

"God in heaven above please protect the ones we love.

We honor all you created as we pledge our hearts and lives together.

We honor Mother Earth and ask for our marriage to be abundant

and grow stronger through the seasons.

We honor fire - and ask that our union be warm and glowing with love in our hearts.

We honor wind - and ask we sail through life safe and calm as in our father's arms.

We honor water - to clean and soothe our marriage– that it may never thirst for love.

All the forces of the universe you created, we pray for harmony and true happiness,

as we forever grow young together. Amen."
