Cherokee Inspired Vows

God in heaven above,
please protect the ones we love.
We honor all you created
as we pledge our hearts and lives together.
We honor Mother Earth and ask for our marriage
to be abundant and grow stronger through the seasons.
We honor fire and ask that our union be warm and glowing in our hearts.
We honor wind and ask that we sail through the life save and calm
as in our father’s arms.
We honor water to clean and soothe our relationship--
that it may never thirst for love.
With all the forces of the universe you created,
we pray for harmony as we grow forever young together.
Amen.
