(Salmon walks up and gives the second reading) Reading given by Salmon: A reading from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. You shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. Reading given by Kim: May this marriage be like sweet milk and sugar, like sweet drink and halvah. May this marriage be blessed with leaves, fruits, and shade like the date tree; May this marriage be laughing, today, tomorrow, and forever, like the hours spent in paradise. May this marriage be a sign of compassion and a seal of happiness here, and hereafter; May this marriage be fair of fame, fair of face, and fair of omen as the welcome moon in the clear evening sky. May spirit enter and mingle in this marriage.
