"High Spirit in heaven above
Please protect the ones we love.
We honour all you created as
we pledge our hearts and lives together.

We honour Mother-earth - and ask for our marriage to be abundant and grow stronger through the seasons;

We honour Wind - and ask we sail though life safe and calm as in our father's arms;

We honour Fire - and ask that our union be warm and glowing with love in our hearts;

We honour Water - to clean and soothe our relationship - that it may never thirst for love...
