Getting married. Again?
The burden of shame
many would insist you bear,
is not theirs to place upon you.

So, I give this blessing
as you begin this new chapter in your life.

May you find in this union…

The belonging that God has always wanted
you to experience in marriage;

The joy that only comes when two hearts beat as one;

The completeness that can only be experienced
when the one you love, loves you back;

The pleasure that flows from being safe with someone;

The comfort you can experience when you kiss each others' scars.

And may the love you celebrate
enrich the love of all you two-as-one may touch.
