Lovers’ Knot

Text by Leora Perlman and Meredith Greenberg

We witness that on the __________ day of the week, the day of the month of __________, in the year __________, corresponding to the __________ day of __________, __________, here in __________, the bride/groom/partner/spouse/lover, __________, son/daughter of __________, and the bride/groom/partner/spouse/lover, __________, daughter/son of __________, gave themselves to each other, embracing the commitments of Chuppa. The Artist’s work symbolizes the unending give and take between the two lovers who have joined together on the journey of life. Through the light and darkness, the inclines and rough, mysterious terrains, the bride/groom/spouse and the bride/groom/spouse promise to challenge, explore, confront, and listen to each other while evolving along that path, both as separate entities and as lovers. The Lover’s Knot is a symbol of the harmony that is found between two people who, in acknowledging one another’s individuality and uniqueness, acknowledge their own. With the closing of this ceremony, celebrating our commitment to each other, we intend to: 1. Continue living together and sharing all expenses and ownership of our assets. 2. Practice monogamy, honesty, and understanding with respect to our genderual and emotional lives. 3. Strive to support each other’s aspirations as they change, evolve, and possibly separate us professionally. 4. Parent a child or children together to the best of our abilities. We leave a space to re-evaluate these intentions on or around our anniversary each year of our lives together. With this Brit we seal our promises to each other and embark on our journey unending.
