Navajo Wedding Blessing
(translator unknown)

Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth for the other.
Now there is no room for loneliness,
for each of you will be [a] companion to the other.
Now you are two persons, but there is [but] one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your togetherness.
And may your days be good and long upon this earth.
