Wedding vow of equals

in love •  7 years ago 

Found this earlier this week. I am a fan of Celtic wedding vows. This is one of those that just paints a picture of a good union. A marriage of equals..

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself
But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give.
You cannot command me for I am a free person.
But I shall serve you in thos ways that you require
and the honeycomb will taste sweetercoming from my hand

I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry out in the night
And the eyes which I smile in the morning
I pledge to you the first bite from my meat,
And the first drink from my cup.
I pledge to you my living and dying, equally in your care,
And tell no strangers our gievances.
This is my wedding vow to you.
This is a marriage of equals.
