could have everyone's attention please."

could quieten down a little bit so we can get started."

Cynna moves to the center of the circle to cast the circle of

protection around everyone, reaching for the bowls of water and salt. She sprinkles salt into the water before sprinkling water over the rose petals.

the four directions be honored, that love, peace, power and radiance enter our circle for the good of all beings."

Dawn soaring though the clear pure air we call upon the powers of the east. May the song of love be carried on the wind."

greater powers to be present so that this union may be blessed with

their positive energies. I invite the spirits of love and peace

into the circle, let them fill us all in the name of the ancestors,

whose traditions we honor. In the name of those who gave us life,

may we all be united in perfect love."

Cynna turns to gaze upon the couple as she speaks, "The joining

together of Senco and Floy through this rite symbolizes the sacred union within each of us. Within every masculine nature lies the feminine, and within every feminine nature lies the masculine. The bringing together of masculine and feminine forces flowing freely in true love generates seeds of creativity and joy."

Smiling, she guides Senco and Floy to join their left hands together. She winds the ribbon three times around Senco's left hand, thrice around their joint hands, and three times around Floy's left hand. Bringing the ends of the ribbon together she ties them carefully together in a trio of knots.

Cynna reaches down to retrieve the wish bag from the ground, holding

it up for a long moment, closing her eyes and focusing upon the energy within her. She speaks out, "This is a bag of wishes, symbolic of all that we wish upon Floy and Senco today and always. Any who desire to add their wishes to the pouch may do so now. Place your fingertips upon the bag and visualize your wish filling the pouch as I walk the Circle."

"Day to night, and night to day, all is in balance."

the Sun and Moon, will you now walk together the circle of time traveling through the elements and seasons?"

Floy and Senco say "We will"

Cynna leads the couple around the circle, pausing before each of the

stakes.

your love survive the ebb and flow of feeling, continuing to be a well

spring?"

to join her.

forest bend together under the pressure of the storm, so you two must bend when the wind of change blows strong. May you both stand strong in each others strength. As you give strength, so you will receive strength. As you give love, so you will receive love. Together you are strong in love. May your love feed you and keep you well."

Senco smiles at Floy

Floy smiles at Senco

Cynna continues, "All things in nature are cyclical - night becomes

day, day becomes night and night becomes day again. The moon waxes and wanes then waxes again. There is spring, summer, autumn, winter and then spring returns. Death follows life and life follows death, these things are part of the great mysteries."

representation of this continuation."

Floy turns to face Senco, "I was thinking of leaving Gahlen because I

felt very lonely. Someone had told me to stick around, that I might meet

someone worth staying for," pauses and smiles up at Senco. "And I did. I met you. From the moment we met I knew you were special. We laughed and had tons of fun together. It was definetly an instant connection. It didn't take long for me to tell you how I felt and I was so happy to learn you felt the same way." Floy looks down at the ring in her hand and then looks back up at Senco. "And now here we are about to embark on our greatest journey ever, together. I have never been happier...or felt more at peace. I love you Senco, and I always will."
