"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be

 shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold,

 for each of you will be warmth to the other.

 Now there will be no loneliness, for each

 of you will be companion to the other.

 Now you are two persons, but there is

only one life before you. May beauty

surround you both in the journey ahead

 and through all the years. May happiness

be your companion and your days together

be good and long upon the earth." —
