Butterflies are as beautiful as they are fragile. They symbolize transformation and all
that is perfect in the world. As you two join today in marriage, your commitment to
love releases into the world a new wonder, a new beauty, a new perfection.
One of the secrets of being happy with the one you love, is to take hold lightly and
let go lightly. As you release these gentle creatures, may your love transform itself
and everyone it touches into its highest form.
Butterfly Release
An American Indian Legend
According to an American Indian Legend:
If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a
butterfly and whisper that wish to it.
Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the
wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.
In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the
Great Spirit always grants the wish.
So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly
its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted.
The following line is often added when the Legend is read prior to
releasing butterflies at a wedding:
We have gathered to grant this couple all our best wishes and are
about to set these butterflies free in trust that all these wishes
will be granted.
