Cherokee Wedding Prayer

There are several marriage blessings found in Native American culture. The Cherokee Wedding Prayer is one of the most popular as it asks for the spirits to bless your union and signifies a wonderful matrimonial pledge that you make to one another.

God in heaven above
please protect the ones we love.

We honour all you created
as we pledge our hearts and lives together.

We honour mother-earth
- and ask for our marriage to be abundant
and grow stronger through the seasons;

We honour fire
- and ask that our union be warm
and glowing with love in our hearts;
We honour wind
- and ask we sail though life
safe and calm as in our father's arms;

We honour 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.

Many couples wish to write their own wedding vows, but aren't sure where to start. If you find that you're also having some trouble with this task, then I would suggest you take a look at the Instant Wedding Vows Package. It provides you with everything that you need to write your own personal, sentimental, and well-thought out wedding vow rather than having to recite the traditional biblical vows used at many weddings.
