May the morning be honey-sweet for us. May the earth be honey-sweet for us. May the heavens be honey-sweet for us. May the plants be honey-sweet for us. May the sun be all honey for us. May the cows yield us honey-sweet milk. As the heavens are stable, as the earth is stable, as the mountains are stable, as the whole universe is stable, so may our union be permanently settled."The re- affirmation of the vows by our Couple..'...I'd like to continue making this new journey with my companion for life - my bride... a beautiful journey that we'd only just started undertaking... a journey where we create and collect new memories along the way... as we travel together... towards oneness...''I am your companion for life, Khan Sahib... true, I might not see very well... or ride a horse... true, the roads so far have been tumultuous...still my hand is willingly fastened to yours... and I travel where you take me... because I have faith, my Sahib - that without you... any journey I take... along any path... on any day... cannot be beautiful'KK.
