Readings used in the ceremony
First reading - read by Jennifer Case, sister of the groom an excerpt from "The Bridge Across Forever" by Richard Bach
A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys and keys that fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction.
Second reading - read by Debbie Case, sister of the groom an old Apache wedding blessing
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be the shelter for each other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be the warmth for the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one shared life before. Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your life together. And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves. When frustration, difficulty and fear assail your relationship - as they threaten all relationships at one time or another - remember to focus on what is right between you, not only the part which seems wrong. In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives - remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there. And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.
Third reading - read by officiant Peter Boruchowitz, a member of Our Wedding Officiants "Blessing for a Marriage" by Unity Poet James Dillet Freeman
May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring, and may life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding.
May you always need one another, not so much to fill your emptiness as to help you to know your fullness.
May you entice one another, but not compel one another.
May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another.
May you enter into the mystery which is the awareness of one another's presence -- warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.
May you find happiness, and may you find it making one another happy.
May you have love, and may you find it loving one another.
