"Ladies
and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure
that I now declare on behalf of this community
that Kirsten and Damian are now husband and wife."
"Celtic
Hand Fasting Ceremony
Tying the Knot.
The ancient Celts believed that when the heartbeat
of the bride and groom were brought together
they would beat as one forever.
On this very day, we join the heart beats
of Kirsten and Damian so that always their hearts
will beat as one... forever.
With this ribbon, one especially chosen by Kirsten,
we tie this symbolic knot between them."
Reading by Damian's brother Jay
"The gift.
You share today the joy of a deep commitment and sacred trust.
You have given each other the most precious gift of love.
Treasure it, nurture it and encourage it
with all the honesty you used in creating it.
You are sharing a moment, rare and beautiful.
Always speak the truth and listen attentively.
Inspire each other by sharing your accomplishments.
Say "I Love You" often to retain the warmth between you.
Stand together and for each other always; be content in mind and spirit.
Laugh a lot too, even when you're angry,
remember you're each other's best friend.
May each day be a blessing and a fulfillment of your dreams."
