The quote we are using is an interfaith Quote:

We witness that on the day of the week, the day of the month of , in the year , corresponding to the day of , , here in , the bride, , daughter of , and the groom, , son of , entered into this sacred marriage covenant. Standing under the chuppah they said to each other: as beloveds and friends we choose to walk life's path together. We pledge to be equal partners, loving friends, and supportive companions all through our life. May our love provide us with the freedom to be ourselves, and the courage to follow our mutual and individual paths. As we share life's experiences, we vow to create an intimacy that will enable us to express our innermost thoughts and feelings; to be sensitive to each other's needs; to share life's joys; to comfort each other through life's sorrows; to challenge each other to achieve intellectual and physical fulfillment as well as spiritual and emotional tranquility. We will build a home together and fill it with laughter, empathy, faith, imagination, trust, friendship, companionship and love; a home in which holidays and heritage are celebrated in accordance with Jewish and Buddhist cultures and traditions, and respect is fostered for the cultures of both our families. May we live each day as the first, the last, the only day we will have with each other. We joyfully enter into this covenant and solemnly accept the obligations herein.

Oh - and we were going to do the Apache blessing, but liked the Baal shem Tov quote better - isn't it beautiful?

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together and a single, brighter light goes forth from their united single being.
