| A lesson from the Apache |
|---|
| Name: Tim | 2007-10-03 |
| I am 1/64th Apache and that has nothing to do with the fact that I read this. Never the less we can learn a lot from this.. Starts of with a bold declaration and the whole thing is good. I would prefer putting it into terms that mean more to me (since I feel no rain now ect) but the heart behind this has been the most catching of all the Vows I have read today! |
| my grandmother |

| When my grandmother remarried, I was about 11 and she asked me to recite this poem at her wedding. Ten years later I am now getting married and I'm so excited to have found the poem and to have it spoken at my wedding. Thank you so much! |

| I agree with mr punch this poem defines the reality of marriage and the explanation just confuses me. |

| Actually from a movie |

this lovely piece was actually written for the 1950
James Stewart movie 'Broken Arrow'... |
| Authenticity |
|---|
| Name: Roy | 2009-01-28 |
| If this was written for a movie, is it authentic and was quoted in the movie or is it Hollywood? |
| Well said |
|---|
| Name: Jim | 2009-02-07 |
| I am not Apache.....I heard this passage during the movie "broken Arrow". I liked the passage so much that I went looking for it, and when I marry again I hope my wife likes it as much as I do. |
| Authenticity |

| The passage is definitely NOT a real, authentic Apache blessing - it was just part of a movie script, but no matter that - the beauty of words stems from the author regardless of who they are or why they wrote them. Any words can be beautiful and this blessing definitely is! |
| I like it. |

| I just got Married (in Vegas). Soon, I will be performing a wedding for my Nephew. I think he and his will love these beautiful words. |

| I LOVE THIS VOW CAUSE IT INVOLVES MY HERITAGE AND IT MEANS ALOT TO ME AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY MOTHER EARTH AND FATHER SKY WILL BLESS THIS APACHE BRAVE |
| This was written by Elliott Arnold and Albert Maltz |
|---|
| Name: Park | 2010-07-23 |
| It was for a novel, Blood Brother (by Elliott Arnold), later adapted to film as Broken Arrow (by Albert Maltz) in 1950 (starring Jimmy Stewart). It's lovely, but it's not Apache. |
| Beautiful |

| Have live it -- Know what is real |

| Name: Lucy | 2012-01-25 |
| My partner/spouse + I have know each other for 19 years, + lived together for 13. We're finally going to do this. All the vows/promises/poetry etc., that I've heard or read so far, is not reality. The reality is that life/love/the world can be hard at times. When you have someone that you are committed to, regardless of the obsticles, nothing else matters. |
| Perfect for pagan |
