May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
May this marriage be delicious milk,
like wine and havlah.
May it offer fruit and shade,
like the date palm.
.
.
.
May this marriage be full of laughter,
making every day a day in Paradise.
May this marriage be a token of compassion,
a seal of joy now and for ever more.
.
.
.
May this marriage have a gracious face and a good name,
an omen as welcome
as the moon in a clear daylight sky.
I have run out of words to describe
how spirit mingles in this marriage.
