Hindu Marriage Prayer
(Used in the wedding ceremony) 

By Groom:

I take hold of your hand for good fortune, so that with me, the husband, you may attain to old age; the solar deities give you to me for conducting domestic life. ... I am the words and you are the melody; I am the melody and you are the words. ...

To the Two:

May you not be separated; may you reach your full years, sporting with sons and grandsons and delighting in your house.

To the Bride:

Flourish thou, without fierce looks and without harming your husband. ..be of amiable mind and of great splendor; be the mother of heroes, be devoted to gods and the bringer of happiness; be propitious to our men and our women and to our cattle. Bounteous Indra! Endow this bride with excellent sons and fortune; give her ten sons and make her husband the eleventh [i.e., the husband should be attended with love and care as if he were the youngest child].
