Couple and Household Blessing
Posted on | June 4, 2005 | No Comments
I received an email from a couple who had been dating for over a year and were moving into their first home together. They were not ready to get engaged officially, but had discussed marriage for their future. They wanted to do a small but meaningful ceremony to bless their new home and honor the commitment they were making by buying a home and beginning their journey together. Neither was familiar with ritual construction nor followed any particular religious or spiritual tradition since separating from the faith traditions in which they had been raised.
As the ceremony was to be held in their new home with just the two of them, I wrote a ritual framework for them with example words. Rather than officiate the ceremony, I stood as a sacred witness as the couple blessed the house and made their commitment to each other.
The names have been changed in the ceremony below.
