Re: Blessing of the Hands
Woops! Answered my own question. So, if any of you would like to know. It sounds like an older couple stands and reads this poem while you and your husband stand there holding hands. The poem is as follows:
These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow, and forever.
These are the hands that will work alongside yours, as together you build your future.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief fills your mind.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow, and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.
These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

It is so beautiful.
We did it at the end of Pre Cana.
I thought there was 2 parts though, one for the man to hold the woman's and then the other way around.
ETA: Here is a link to the whole thing.
Hand Prayer

Ooohhhhhh, I thought that a couple read it (I'm trying to convince my parents and his parents to share the poem and read it on our wedding day) Yours makes more sense.
