The Native American Wedding Ceremony is one that takes place outdoors, with Father Sky as the roof of the most sacred cathedral,

and Mother Earth at your feet to hold you, and the trees and plants to surround you and embrace you.

I call upon the Great Spirit to bring the blessings of the East, the South, the West, the North, Mother Earth and Father Sky and the Creator Of Our Souls Within. After evoking the Seven Directions, I begin the Native American smudge prayer and cleansing.

May your hands be cleansed, that they create beautiful things.

May your feet be cleansed, that they might take you where you most need to be.  May your heart be cleansed, that you might hear its messages clearly.  May your throat be cleansed, that you might speak rightly when words are needed.  May your eyes be cleansed, that you might see the signs and wonders of the world.

May this person and space be washed clean by the smoke of these fragrant plants And may that same smoke carry our prayers spiraling to the heavens.

In honor of this couple, I cleanse them of all negativity. I banish away all those who would harm them and I send away all negative thoughts.

Let this couple be filled with love and light from this day forward.
