These blessings are from: To Love Honor and Shave Twice a Week by David Johnson

1. Now may you depart in peace. May your love cast out small fears. May your hope endure. May your faith in
each other and in this radiant universe in which the mystery of love happens grow and flourish. Amen.

2. Out of this tangled world, your two souls have come together, drawn by mutual love and respect. May your
days and years yet unborn deepen the joy of your choice and make it abidingly true.

3. By your free choice you have made a marriage. No matter what the demands on your lives and your time,

The meaning of your living is now known through your love. You must nurture each other to fullness and
wholeness, renew yourselves in love and laughter, maintain the capacity for wonder, spontaneity, humor,

sensitivity, and save time for each other, to love each other more deeply and learn to love more fully the Creation
in which the mystery of love happens. Amen

4. You are now wed. May you always remain sweethearts, helpmates and friends. May your life together be full

of kindness and understanding, thoughtfulness and rejoicing. May the years bring you happiness and contentment.
May you enter into each other's sorrow by empathy, Into each other's joy with gladness, Into each other's hope

with faith and trust, Into each other's need with the sure presence of love, Into each other's lives with enthusiasm
and embracing. Amen.
