“God in heaven above please protect the ones we love.
We honour all you created as we pledge our hearts and lives together.
We honour mother-earth –
and ask for our marriage to be abundant
and grow stronger through the seasons;
We honour fire –
and ask that our union be warm
and glowing with love in our hearts;
We honour wind –
and ask we sail though life safe
and calm as in our father’s arms;
We honour water –
to clean and soothe our relationship –
that it may never thirst for love;
With all the forces of the universe you created,
we pray for harmony and true happiness
as we forever grow young together.
Amen.”
