A Wedding Blessing

Today, a dear friend of ours is getting married.  She has been a wonderful close companion to my wife for many years, which is one of the reasons my wife took the opportunity to go back to Pennsylvania to be there for this joyous occasion.  Sadly, events did not work out to allow me to return with her.  So, from the opposite end of the Atlantic Ocean I send this wedding blessing:

Two souls have been raised separately yet have found each other.
Two voices have called out in the wilderness and been answered.
Two out stretched hands have grasped each other in the darkness.
Two people have come together to forge one future.

Today you have proclaimed your love for each other to the world at large.
Yours is an ever strengthening union, guard it well.
Together you can face whatever the world may bring to your door.
By staying strong in this marriage nothing can separate you.
By supporting each other nothing can stop you from obtaining whatever you dream.

May your nights be full of stars.
May the wind caress your souls.
May sun grace your days.May today, and all the tomorrows to come greet you with open arms.
