Wedding Poems, Prayers, & Readings
"Marriage is the union of two divinities that a third might be born on earth.
It is the union of two souls in a strong love for the abolishment of separateness.
It is that higher unity which fuses the separate unities within the two spirits.
It is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance, and whose ending is Eternity.
It is the pure rain that falls from an unblemished sky to fructify and bless the fields of divine Nature."
~Kahlil Gibran, Words of the Master

“Act without doing;
Work without effort. Think of the small as large And the few as many. Confront the difficult While it is still easy; Accomplish the great task By a series of small acts. What is rooted is easy to nourish. What is recent is easy to correct. What is brittle is easy to break. What is small is easy to scatter. Prevent trouble before it arises. Put things in order before they exist. Take action by letting things take their course. Remain as calm at the END ~ as at the beginning.” ~ Tao te ching |
“A marriage is like frying a small fish. You will spoil it by too much poking.”
~ Tao Te Ching “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply, gives you courage.” ~ Tao Te Ching

"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 |
