Fw: Wedding Poem/Blessing


In line with our PW Wedding Traditions
event coming up, I though I would pass this on.

A wonderful family friend of mine gave me this poem for a wedding gift. In our culture, our marriage should be blessed by an elder
of my family. My "uncle" Joe Upicksoun gave this to us as a blessing. Mr. Upicksoun has passed on to the next life. He is a relative, but "great uncle" made him feel old, so he was always just Uncle Joe.






In honor of Joe, here is a link to an interview with

this wonderful man.
