Native American Wedding Blessing

This blessing is a composite of 2 wedding blessings used to honor North American Indigenous cultures. We have rephrased a few things to update the language a little, and to focus on more contemporaneous aspects of the culture.

Native American Wedding Blessing

(Golden Lotus Ministries Version)

Above you are the stars, below you are the stones.

As time does pass, remember; Like a star should your love be constant.

Like a stone should your love be firm.

Have patience with the other; for storms will come, but they will go quickly.

Be free in giving of affection and warmth.

Make love often, and be sensuous to one another.

Now you will feel no rain, for you will be shelter to each 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 only one life before you.

Have no fear, and let not the ways or words of the unenlightened give you unease.

For the Great Spirit is with you, now and always.

May your days be good and long upon the earth.
