Apache Blessing (Anon)

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

Now there is not more loneliness

Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you

Go now to your home to enter into the days of your life together

And may your days be good and long upon the earth

Captain Corelliâ€™s Mandolin – (Louis de Bernieres)

Love is a temporary madness,

It erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.

And when it subsides you have to make a decision.

You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together

that it is inconceivable that you should every part.

Because this is what love is.

Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the

promulgation of eternal passion.

That is just being â€˜in loveâ€™ which any fool can do.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and

this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Those that truly love, have roots that have grown towards each other

underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their

branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

The following is a popular reading for consideration for your Civil Ceremony or Civil Partnership.

Once in a Long While â€“ (Laurie Winkleman)

Once in a long while, someone special walks into your life and really

makes a difference.

They take the time to show you in so many little ways that you matter.

They see and hear the worst in you, but donâ€™t walk away; in fact, they

may care more about you.

Their heart breaks with yours, their tears fall with yours, their laughter

is shared with yours.

Every time you see a certain gesture, hear a certain laugh or phase, or

return to a certain place, it reminds you of them.

You treasure the time you have with them, and you feel thankful that

someone can still touch your heart so deeply.

You remember their words, their looks, their expressions;

You remember the strength that amazes you,

The courage that impresses you, the grace that inspires you, and the

love that touches you.

The following is one popular reading to consider for your Civil Ceremony or Civil Partnership.

Yes Iâ€™ll Marry You (Pam Ayres)

Yes Iâ€™ll marry you, my dear,

And hereâ€™s the reason why;

So I can push you out of bed

When the baby starts to cry,

And if we hear a knocking

And itâ€™s creepy and itâ€™s late

I hand you the torch you see,

And you investigate

Yes Iâ€™ll marry you, my dear

You may not apprehend it

But when the tumble drier goes

Itâ€™s you that has to mend it

You have to face the neighbour

Should our Labrador attack him

And if a drunkard fondles me

Itâ€™s you that has to whack him

Yes, Iâ€™ll marry you

Youâ€™re virile and youâ€™re lean,

My house is like a pigsty

You can help to keep it clean.

That sexy little dinner

Which you served by candlelight,

As I do chipolatas,

You can cook it every night

Itâ€™s you who has to work the drill

And put up curtain track,

And when Iâ€™ve PMT itâ€™s you who gets the flak,

I do see great advantages

But none of them for you,

And so before you see the light

I do, I do, I do!
