Lyrics
No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No official or religious institution has sanctioned our marriage.
No state has ever granted us permission
No government authority has given us legal approval.
No family bond has ever made us two
No familial connection has bound us together.
No company has ever earned commission
No business has profited from our union.
No debt was paid no dowry to be gained
No financial transactions or dowries were involved.
No treaty over border land or power
No agreements over territory or power were made.
No semblance of the world outside remained
No external influence or semblance of the world remains.
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour
Nothing has tainted the beauty of our wedding moment.
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The vows of our marriage are kept secret and unspoken.
The secret marriage never can be broken
A secret marriage is unbreakable.
No flowers on the alter
No traditional wedding symbols like flowers on the altar.
No white veil in your hair
No traditional bridal attire like a white veil.
No maiden dress to alter
No need for alterations to a maiden's dress.
No bible oath to swear
No religious oath from the Bible is taken.
The secret marriage vow is never spoken
The vows of our marriage remain undisclosed.
The secret marriage never can be broken
A secret marriage is unbreakable.
