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 though life safe and calm
as in our father's arms;

We honor water - to clean and soothe our relationship -
that it may never thirsts 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."
