As _______ and _______ are joined in marriage tomorrow (or: Now that _______ and _______ have been joined together in marriage), may their life always be a shared adventure, marked by a sense of personal freedom, as well as mutual responsibility.

Let us rejoice in it and be glad, and let us always remember to count our many blessings
