Let us begin in the East - The Land of New Beginnings.
Here we ask for the blessings of the element Air:
Which brings Truth, Communication, Wisdom and Vision.
May East, Air, 
Join us to bless Kathy & Chuck on this Sacred Day
And throughout their lives together.
Blessed Be!

Now we turn to the South,
Where we ask the blessings of the element Fire
Home of Passion, Pleasure, Joy, and Happiness.
May South, Fire, 
Join us to bless Kathy & Chuck on this Sacred Day
And throughout their lives together.
Blessed Be!

Now let us turn to the West,
Where the element Water flows forth...
Bringing Tranquility, Peace, Emotion and Serenity.
May West, Water, 
Join us to bless Kathy & Chuck on this Sacred Day
And throughout their lives together.
Blessed Be!

Now we turn to the North,
Where the element Earth resides
Deeply grounded in Strength, Comfort and Support
May North, Earth, 
Join us to bless Kathy & Chuck on this Sacred Day
And throughout their lives together.
Blessed Be!

And in the Center and all around us,
Above and Below,
Resides the Spirit...
Who brings blessings of Love, Magic, Friendship and Community.
May the Spirit of all things Divine 
Join us to bless Kathy & Chuck on this Sacred Day
And throughout their lives together.
Blessed Be!

From Heart to Heart, Hand to Hand
Flows the energy of our loving friendship and support.
Creating a Circle of Sacred Space:
A Glowing Sphere of Love & Light.
It is a Safe Place filled with our Hopes and Blessings 
To Support This Wonderful Couple 
As They Affirm Their Love for Each Other 
On This Special Day.
Blessed Be!

Blessings:
May the blessings of the Divine be upon you,
May its peace abide with you,
May its presence illuminate your lives
Now and forever more!
