I think to honor their position in my life I'll have them listed in the program and seated prominently.
It'll be
the oldest members of the my family
My mentors
My mother
Then I'll be walking down the aisle.
I might have two of them lead some of the ceremonies I want at my wedding as well or read from the Bible.
I want a hand fasting ceremony and a Native American blessing as well.
We shall see.
But I can't see myself getting married without them by my side.
And of course all of this assumes my mother is coming to my wedding. Her MOFO is strong so she probably will lol.
You never know.
I might end up getting walked down the aisle by my mentors so we shall see!
Below are the words for a handfasting tweaked to apply to me.
These are the hands of your best friend, young and
strong and vibrant with love, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as
she promises to love you all the days of his life.
These are the hands that will work along side
yours, as together you build your future, as you laugh and cry, as you share your
innermost secrets and dreams.
These are the hands you will place with expectant
joy against your stomach, until she too, feels her child stir within you.
These are the hands that work to save lives, yet
will be so gentle as they holds your baby for the first time.
These are the hands that will work long hours for
you and your new family
These are that hands that will passionately love
you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe
the tears from your eyes: tears of sorrow and tears of joy
These are the hands that will comfort you in
illness, and hold you when fear or grief wrack your mind.
These are the hands that will tenderly lift your
chin and brush your cheek as they raise your face to look into her eyes: eyes
that are filled completely with her overwhelming love and desire for you.
These are the hands of your best friend, smooth,
young and carefree, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as she pledges
her love and commitment to you all the days of her life.
These are the hands that will hold each child in
tender love, soothing them through illness and hurt, supporting and encouraging
them along the way, and knowing when it is time to let go
These are the hands that will work along side
yours, as together you build your future, as you laugh and cry, as you share
your innermost secrets and dreams.
These are the hands that will hold you tight as you
struggle through difficult times
These are the hands that will comfort you when you
are sick, or console you when you are grieving.
They are the hands that will passionately love you
and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness.
These are the hands that will hold you in joy and
excitement and hope, each time that together we have created a new life.
These are the hands that will give you support as
she encourages you to chase down your dreams. Together as a team, everything
you wish for can be realized.
