A wedding prayer

Creator of all that is, in sparkling joy and happiness we pray,
Grateful for your endless wisdom which is shown to us today.
Thank you for your love which shines over all of us so bright,
Thank you for uniting Jodi, Toni, Mikaia, Vanessa and Natalie and their families and friends in divine protection and light.

This very moment brings faith to all of us and is a proof,
That YOU are the universal, loving, liberating puppetmastress
and ultimately we are ALL protected under your endless roof.

Observing this family growing together
Enjoying sunny and mastering sometimes stormy weather,
Brings confidence in our heart and soul
That trusting in you Is the path and the goal.

Thank you for showing your grace in this connection,
The here and now is your presence’s reflection.
In the Henderson-Ross’s sharing with us we surrender to truth and understand
that love always IS and never ends.

May jealousy, anger, energy vampires and frustration stay away from their living,
May this new blossom be defined by caring, sharing, and giving,
May no one and nothing pollute the sprouting garden of honesty, purity, unselfishness, love, and life lust,
May craving as well as aversion be balanced in harmonious trust.

Creator of all that is, in sparkling joy and happiness we pray,
May Jodi and Toni be blessed with love, forgiveness and faith for the rest of their days,
here and in other dimensions,
ALWAYS.


AND SO IT IS.

AMEN.

And here are Jodi's new initials...


...as the decision to include "Henderson" was made.

First signs

It's some time to go to the wedding, but first signs such as the basket for a flower girl,



or an evergrowing pile of decorations, plates, glitz and glamour start appearing on the surfaces of the household Ross-Henderson.

On Marriage- Kahlil Gibran

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.


Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.


Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
