Blessing for Marriage

Blessing for Marriage

Wedding Blessing

“May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring, and may life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding.

May you always need one another — not so much to fill your emptiness as to help you to know your fullness. A mountain needs a valley to be complete. The valley does not make the mountain less, but more. And the valley is more a valley because it has a mountain towering over it. So let it be with you and you.

May you need one another, but not out of weakness.

May you want one another, but not out of lack.

May you entice one another, but not compel one another.

May you embrace one another, but not out encircle one another.

May you succeed in all-important ways with one another, and not fail in the little graces.

May you look for things to praise, often say, “I love you!” and take no notice of small faults. If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have good sense enough to take the first step back.

May you enter into the mystery that is the awareness of one another’s presence — no more physical than spiritual, warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.

May you have happiness, and may you find it making one another happy.

May you have love, and may you find it loving one another.”

I don’t Believe in Marriage

I don’t believe in marriage

I don’t believe in marriage.
No, I really don’t. Let me be clear about that.
I think at worst,
it’s a hostile political act,
a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense.
At best, it’s a happy delusion –
these two people who truly love each other
and have no idea how truly miserable
they’re about to make each other.
But, when two people know that,
and they decide with eyes wide open
to face each other and get married anyway,
then I don’t think it’s conservative or delusional.
I think it’s radical and courageous and very romantic.

Marriage Joins Two People

“Marriage Joins Two People In The Circle Of Its Love” by Edmund O’Neill 

Below is a reading.  Marriage Joins Two People.  If you have any questions or need a Wedding Officiant for your wedding ceremony.    Contact St Louis Wedding Chapel  314-472-5017

Marriage Joins Two People.

Marriage is a commitment to life,
the best that two people can find and bring out in each other.
It offers opportunities for sharing and growth
that no other relationship can equal.
It is a physical and an emotional joining that is promised for a lifetime. Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life’s                                     most important relationships.
A wife and a husband are each other’s best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic.
And there may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing,
and the love of the other may resemble the tender caring of a parent or child.
Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life.
Happiness is fuller, memories are fresher,
commitment is stronger, even anger is felt more strongly,
and passes away more quickly.Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life,
new experiences, new ways of expressing a love that is deeper than life.
When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage,
they create a spirit unique unto themselves which binds them closer
than any spoken or written words.Marriage is a promise, a potential made in the hearts of two people who love each other and takes a lifetime to fulfill.

Foxtrot

“Foxtrot From a Play,” by W H Auden

The soldier loves his rifle,
The scholar loves his books,
The farmer loves his horses,
The film star loves her looks.
There’s love the whole world over
Wherever you may be;
Some lose their rest for gay Mae West,
But you’re my cup of tea.

Some talk of Alexander
And some of Fred Astaire,
Some like their heroes hairy
Some like them debonair,
Some prefer a curate
And some an A.D.C.,
Some like a tough to treat’em rough,
But you’re my cup of tea.

Some are mad on Airedales
And some on Pekinese,
On tabby cats or parrots
Or guinea pigs or geese.
There are patients in asylums
Who think that they’re a tree;
I had an ant who loved a plant,
But you’re my cup of tea.

Some have sagging waistlines
And some a bulbous nose
And some a floating kidney
And some have hammer toes,
Some have tennis elbow
And some have housemaid’s knee,
And some I know have got B.O.,
But you’re my cup of tea.

The blackbird loves the earthworm,
The adder loves the sun,
The polar bear an iceberg,
The elephant a bun,
The trout enjoys the river,
The whale enjoys the sea,
And dogs love most an old lamp-post,                                                                               But you’re my cup of tea.

Yes I’ll Marry You

“Yes I’ll Marry You,” by Pam Ayres

Below is a reading called Yes, I’ll Marry you.  If you have any questions or need a Wedding Officiant for your wedding ceremony.    Contact St Louis Wedding Chapel  314-472-5017

“Yes I’ll Marry You 

Yes I’ll marry you, my dear,
And here’s the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking
And it’s creepy and it’s late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.

Yes I’ll marry you, my dear,
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes
It’s you that has to mend it,
You have to face the neighbor
Should our labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me
It’s you that has to whack him.

Yes I’ll marry you,
You’re virile and you’re lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner
Which you served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas,
You can cook it every night!

It’s you who has to work the drill
and put up curtain track,
And when I’ve got PMT it’s you who gets the flak,
I do see great advantages,
But none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!

Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog

“Falling in love is like owning a dog,” by Taylor Mali

Below is a reading called Falling in love is like owning a dog.  If you have any questions or need a Wedding Officiant for your wedding ceremony.    Contact St Louis Wedding Chapel  314-472-5017

First of all, it’s a big responsibility,
especially in a city like New York.
So think long and hard before deciding on love.
On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
when you’re walking down the street late at night
and you have a leash on love
ain’t no one going to mess with you.
Because crooks and muggers think love is unpredictable.
Who knows what love could do in its own defense?

On cold winter nights, love is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.

Love doesn’t like being left alone for long.
But come home and love is always happy to see you.
It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
but you can never be mad at love for long.


Is love good all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.

Love makes messes.
Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
Sometimes you just want to get love fixed.
Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
and swat love on the nose,
not so much to cause pain,
just to let love know Don’t you ever do that again!

Sometimes love just wants to go for a nice long walk.
Because love loves exercise.
It runs you around the block and leaves you panting.
It pulls you in several different directions at once,
or winds around and around you
until you’re all wound up and can’t move.

But love makes you meet people wherever you go.
People who have nothing in common but love
stop and talk to each other on the street.

Throw things away and love will bring them back,
again, and again, and again.
But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.

Genesis Adam & Eve

Genesis  Adam & Eve

Below is a reading from Genesis Adam & Eve.  If you have any questions or need a Wedding Officiant for your wedding ceremony.    Contact St Louis Wedding Chapel  314-472-5017

Marriage is the the 1st Institution ordained by God                                                 

Before there was even a Church

After God Created the Heavens and the Earth

He created Man in His Own Image.

He said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.

I will make a suitable helper & companion for him.”

So God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs

Then the LORD God made a companion from the rib That he had taken from the man,   And then he brought her to the man.

The man said,       “This is now bone of my bones                                                                   and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called ‘woman,’

for she was taken out of man.”

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

and they will become one flesh.

Now this is the word of our Lord

Corinthians 13: 4-8

Love is patient, love is kind.

Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

It does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in truth;

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

And now faith, hope and love abide; and the greatest of these is love.
