These I Can Promise

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart’s devotion
A smile to chase away your teases of sorrow;
A love that’s ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)

Last Love

Love at the closing of our days
is apprehensive and very tnder.
Glow brighter, brighter, farewell rays
of one last love in its evening splendor.

Blue shade takes half the world away:
through western clouds alone some light is slanted.
O tarry, O tarry, declining day,
enchantment, let me stay enchanted.

The blood runs thinner, yet the heart
remains as ever depp and tender.
O last belated love, thou art
a blend of joy and of hopeless surrender.  

Fyodor Tyutchev (1803-73)
translated from Russian by Vladimir Nabokov

Traditional Wedding Vows and Your Wedding Ceremony

Traditional wedding vows are very hard to narrow down to a few different sets of vows. There are many different sets of vows that can be considered traditional. These traditional wedding vows are the vows that are used most often, whether a ceremony is religious or not. Traditional wedding vows have a place in every wedding.

Most couples that will have a religious ceremony, either set in their religious institution or simply performed by a leader in the religion, will use the traditional wedding vows set forth by that religion. In many religions, the couple will have two or three different versions of essentially the same vows that they can choose from. Some religions are stricter and offer only one choice. When a religious ceremony is set outside of the church, then it is up to the discretion of the officiant and the church as to what vows will be acceptable. Some religions will allow the couple to alter the wedding vows slightly, but it always must be approved by the church. These traditional wedding vows make it easy for the bride and groom in the sense that they do not need to worry about choosing or writing their own different vows. Other couples will find it frustrating that they are forced to use these traditional wedding vows.

Traditional wedding vows also extend to non-denominational services. There are standard sets of wedding vows that officiants use. Whether the couple is using a judge, a justice of the peace, or another non-denominational officiant, they will have examples of the most traditional non-denominational vows. These officiants will likely be more lenient when it comes to choosing a different set of vows or choosing to write your own vows.

Traditional wedding vows have stood the test of time because they are beautiful and convey what many people feel is exactly what needs to be said between a couple about to venture into marriage. Traditional wedding vows can be used in any ceremony, but there is always a choice. This is your day after all and you need to speak words that ring true for you and your unique relationship.

Traditional Apache Prayer

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

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

Now there is no loneliness for you;
for each of you will be companion to the other.

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

Go now to your dwelling place,
to enter into your days together.

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