Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you, For where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried. May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me.

one of my favorite parts of the torah!
I love that verse! :)
RelentlessBride
There's a musical setting by David Haas that combines that text with text from the Song of Songs that I've been thinking about using in my ceremony. I love the text!
You've been tagged!!
that was a really nice. i read it aloud because it is so pretty!
Thanks for the link (I'm Miss Cheese). While I've seen many different versions of that verse, this one -- a little more casual, more "English" -- is by far my favorite.
My DH and I used that verse as the basis for our vows. Beautiful!
this is one of my favorites!!
wow! Just gorgeous.
It's a very sweet reading, but keep in mind that Ruth was talking to her mother-in-law Naomi, rather than to anyone romantic in her life.
Yeah, knowing the context of those verses makes them loving and beautiful, but not at all romantic. I couldn't see using them in a wedding.
