The following is a Native American prayer that was read at Val's cousin's, Erin's, wedding:

An Apache Prayer

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no more loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two bodies,
But there is only one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place
To enter into the days of your togetherness
And may your days be good and long upon
the earth.

I like it because it's a simple, beautiful perspective on what it means to spend the rest of your life with one other person.
