Apache Wedding Prayer

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.
