When you are doing the very special act of
releasing butterflies, it is always important
that you have a few things to say either
before you release the butterflies or during
the time you are releasing them. If you are
releasing butterflies for your wedding, you
may have your vows already written, but
perhaps you would like to include one of these
famous quotes that can be said during the
butterfly release!
Our first is by an anonymous person, but it
is definitely one that would work when you are
releasing butterflies at your wedding:
Love is like a butterfly,
it settles upon you when you least expect it.
One of the most popular sayings to
incorporate into your release is the American
Indian Legend about the butterfly.
Below is a suggestion of how to use this
legend during your wedding butterfly release:
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.
We have all 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.
Then there is this lovely Irish blessing:
May the wings of the
butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
When it comes to releasing
butterflies on your wedding day, you want to
make sure that it is special and that you are
letting your new husband/wife know exactly
what you are feeling. If you have written your
own vows, incorporating butterflies and
everything that they stand for into your vows
is a great way to tie the butterflies being
released into your ceremony.
