Roma Downey In Perfect Harmony
Now you have exchanged solemn vows before god.
And made a sacred promise to one another to love,
hounour and cherish and to share the years ahead.
You have been joined together, but you are still individuals.
Stay very close, but allow each other room to breathe.
You have made a commitment for the long road,
now you must learn to be good travelling companions.
Walk with dignity, and walk with god.
Stand schoulder to schoulder, and take strenght from your togetherness.
Walk hand in hand, and take pride in your closeness.
Be open and be honest but respect each other's privacy.
Be caring and attentive. But respect each other's space.
Never forget that you belong together.
As part of god's natural law, just as the waves belong on the ocean
and the stars belong in the sky.
As you grow together, let not your love be suffocating,
but inspiring recognising that each of you has your own special gifts and talents,
and remember the sweetest music two voices can make is not when they sing the same melody but rather when two different refrains come together in close and perfect harmony.
