Marriage Ceremony

As we ever evolve, our strengths arise from experiences and encounters. We two find our love uniting us, forming another, a third that grows between, beyond and within us. In acknowledging this love, we share, as an experience akin to an ever-growing tree, up, down, and outward, we see ourselves in one another. Seeing one another mirroring one another in stages that precede this one, we know love on a deep psychic and soul level. As such, we know this love deserves respect beyond acknowledgment and unto stated commitment of intent. Our experiences of encountering one another blossom into another stage in this proclamation of our continuing dedication and service to one another, perpetual sharing and tending of our love, and nurturing and edifying one another throughout our lifetimes in union.

Therefore, with these words, gazes, energies, touches, gestures, movements, and embraces, given and received, through loving above all, and hearing, speaking, seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, and sensing, we two join in ritual and sacred union. We hereby testify that we do these things knowingly and lovingly, of sound minds, thoughts, souls, emotions, and bodies, in complete and total agreement and accord; without reservation or hesitation do we join.

We light sacred candles and incense to symbolize seeing, hearing, smelling, and the flames of our shared passion and love, and to represent our eternal union with one another and our interconnectedness with all.

We partake of this sacred sacrament of wine, bread, and pomegranate to symbolize tasting and sharing one another’s blood and body, of our commitment to this union, of the ultimate sacrifice either of us is willing to make if needed, and of the recognized trials and tribulations that such a union entails.

We sprinkle one another with this sacred water to symbolize feeling the baptism of one another’s nurturance, and the reassurance of its continuance with this pledge.

We anoint one another with this sacred oil to symbolize the sacredness of one another, to share in the joy of being present with one another.

We share these powerful written and spoken words with one another to commemorate our love for one another, and to enter them and this ceremony in our minds with indelible freshness to rememory in times of need.

We share these images with one another to declare an emphasis on our togetherness, to release negative energy affiliated with past happenings, and to increase our shared understandings of one another so that we may grow however we do.

We share these sacred songs with one another, composed for this event, in honor of one another and eachother-together, to carry the strands of our soul music into one another’s souls forever.

We give of ourselves, one to the other, in this sacred union, in this ritual ceremony, in all facets of our lives, to be stewards of one another and the world, to love and encourage love, and to be and notice one another Being in many moments.
