The jewel of my being,
my heart.
And this shining band,
my ring.
take them both and with them
my pledge;
to stand with thee in this life
before all that this world sets against us,
to take refuge and pleasure in thy company,
and to enrich thy life
as thou hast enriched mine.
My love for thee makes me faithful.
Our love makes me strong.
Walk with me, my love,
to the clearing at the end
of the path.
In the name of all that is holy and good,
I pledge thee my troth;
To love and cherish thee through all lifetimes,
for even if our paths should later diverge,
yet will I ever remain thy true friend.
I will love thee and lend thee aid and protection,
by the power of the starry mill of heaven,
beyond the reaches of time and knowledge.
Blessed be!
