Some very close friends of mine recently married on 1 May, and my friends had chosen to include a
traditional Pagan Handfasting ceremony as part of their special occasion. I was deeply privileged to
be invited to lead this part of the ceremony and to say the words of a special wedding prayer I wrote
to celebrate their unity. This was all done prior to a Dove release so you can imagine it was a really
special event and wonderful for me to have the honour of being part of their special day of unity.
When my friends initially and intuitively chose the date of 1 May to formalise their unity, they were
unaware of the depth of meaningful implications connected with this date. Traditionally May Day
is a holiday of Union between man and woman, God and Goddess. It is a time of fertility and
harvest, for reaping the wealth from the seeds that we sow to celebrate life and unity. Beltane is the
season of maturing life and deep found love, the time of vows, handfasting and commitment to
celebrate perfect love and trust, and the return of vitality and the passion of summer.
It also came to their attention that 1 May is "Global Love Day", so another beautiful reason for
everyone to gather together in their celebration and share and magnify the energy of LOVE gifted to
us all.
I have written the words of the prayer below in a generic fashion which can be
shared with anyone who's getting married to help magnify their intentions for
the future. You can visit the link on my website and print a pretty copy as a
gift. When you frame the words you magnify your intention further. The link for
"A Wedding Day Prayer" on my website is Here. I have also written "A Lover's Prayer"
which is a slightly different version and the link on my website is
Here.
Keep sharing the LOVE and enjoy special soft blissful happy moments in life whenever you can.

their provision and ask that this or something better may now manifest for the Highest good of all
concerned
