Cherokee marriage laws......once married it is eternal, from this life into the next, the bond cannot be broken.

Our final vows are spoken.

We take the Life Wheel shields we made that were facing out of the circle and exchange them, then face them toward each other, A gift of love & fidelity.

Ceremony over, happily married.
