Apache Wedding Prayer

If you're looking to inject a little cross culturalism into your wedding ceremony, consider integrating the Apache wedding prayer into your vows. Including this beautiful prayer in your ceremony doesn't mean you have to do away with the words commonly associated with weddings in your own faith. Rather, it can augment the usual religious or secular ceremony and make your wedding even more memorable that it already will be!

The prayer reads as follows:

Now for you there is no rain
For one is shelter to the other.

Now for you there is no darkness
For one is counsel to the other.

Now for you there is no pain
For one is comfort to the other.

Now for you there is no night
For one is light to the other.

Now for you there is no cold
For one is warmth to the other.

Now for you the snow has ended, always
Your fears, your wants, your needs are at rest.

It is that way today, tomorrow and forever.
Now it is good and there is always shelter.

And now there is always one.
And now there is no loneliness.

Now, forever, forever you are as one.
There are two bodies.

But now there is only one heart in both
And you are as one person.

You can ask your officiant to make the Apache wedding prayer a part of the service or you can ask a loved one to step up to the altar space to read the prayer. If you like, you can even adapt the wording of this beautiful and poetic prayer by changing certain words to make it appropriate for you and your spouse-to-be to read to one another as vows.
