Under the chuppah,
the canopy shelters us
as if we stand under the protective wings of angels.
Vows and prayers are spoken.
A sacred journey begins.
We join our lives together.
Finishing our ceremony
the wine glass is shattered.
Piercing sound of glass breaking
reminds us to be prepared
for all the heartbreaking
and wonderful
moments of existence
We realize how fragile,
how magnificent is life,
is love.
The strong bond of our union
sanctifies this wedding day
by blessing received,
made holy here
under angels wings.
