As we gather here we
stand beside the sea, in the hopes that your love for each other will be
as onstant and unchanging as the never ending waves.
As the sea is eternal, may
your love for each other also be eternal.
As your love comes softly
to one another,
just as the foam comes
softly upon the sand,
let your hearts approach
each day with kindness and understanding.
As there will never be a
day without the ocean's flow so there will never be a day without the love
you feel for each other.
As these waters nourish
the earth and sustain life,
may your love nourish and
sustain you,
until the end of time.
