Indian Wedding Blessing

The Indian Wedding Blessing (also called the Apache Wedding Prayer) is a prayer commonly recited at weddings in North America. It holds no religious significance, and is a popular choice for civil wedding ceremonies.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia: this verse has no connections with the Apache or any other Native American Indian group. It was, in fact, originally written for the 1950 Western movie Broken Arrow, starring James Stewart and Jeff Chandler.

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no more loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two bodies,
But there is one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place,
To enter into the days of your togetherness.

And may your days be good and long upon the earth.

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.
