In her book, Finn McCool, she published wedding vows which were supposed to have their basis in Brehonic law.

You cannot posses me for I belong to myself
But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give
You cannot command me for I am a free person
But I shall serve you in those ways you require
And the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand
I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night
And the eyes into which I smile in the morning
I pledge to you the first bite from my meat
And the first drink from my cup
I pledge to you my living and my dying, equally in your care
And tell no strangers our grievances
This is my wedding vow to you
This is a marriage of equals

wow i love this

ty for sharing it

Okay, I'm turned on.............

I pledge to you the first bite from my meat
And the first drink from my cup


I like these lines of it the best. If it's a question of whether she eats or I do...I can do without.

a tremendous expression, love in that sense, never does without..a constant filling, and full.
a wonderful share.
