It's too good to not share it, so here's the blessing my Mom said during the handfasting:
"May these things be featherweight and fleeting in your union:
Annoyance and anger;
Jealousy, possessiveness, envy and distrust;
Boredom and indifference.
"Let them go, let them flit away, they're gone . . .
"May these things be long-lived and deep-rooted in your union:
Honesty, acceptance, compassion and forgiveness;
Contentedness, comfort and ease;
Touching, tenderness, attentiveness,
Excitement, passion;
Romance, delight, and most of all,
Laughter.
"As you grow old, and older, and older together,
May your love stay forever fresh and young.
"May you ever look upon each other with clear eyes and an open heart,
And thereby know love;
"For all arises from Love and seeks to return to Love;
Love is the Law, the teacher of wisdom, and the great revealer of mysteries."

May witchery guide your footsteps. May the earthmother delight in your offspring. May you have more kids than you can keep track of, just to make life interesting.
