May the sun of many days and years shine upon you;
May the love you have for one another grow and hold you close;
May the good true light within you guide you on your way together;
May your dreams come true, and when they do not, may new dreams arise.

In the words of Leo Tolstoy, may you each bring more love and truth into this world,
and may your marriage be the instrument that sustains you in this task.

And long, long years from now, may you look at one another and be able to say, “Because of you, I have lived the life I always wanted to live – because of you, I have become the person I longed to be.”
