Handfasting Vows
 from the book "Women's Medecine Ways - Cross-cultural Rites of Passage"
  by Marcia Starck


I, _______________, take you, ________________, in marriage
To be my life partner,
To walk, run, and dance this new path together,
To love, care and share,
To let the winds dance between us,
Let the fires burn within us,
And the waters flow through us,
On our sacred journey together.
With this ring may a new consciousness begin,
With this ring I thee wed,
With my hearts' faithful affections,
And my love to you,__________________.
Ho.
