Without tongue in cheek, part of the Song of Solomon is quite common for
Judaic wedding gifts. I've seen a beautiful painted canvas, and XS chart
with those. But, don't think I'd give it to a minister.

I think part of a psalm, or a verse of a favoured hymn would be fine,
I can't see it has to be the whole thing. King James is lovely and
done in a really great alphabet style would be nice. Done in very
gothic style the words could almost become part of the design.

How about Psalm 42: 'Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so
my soul yearns for you, My God'.
Or, the Beatitudes? 'Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven' etc.
Or Proverbs 9:1 'Wisdom has built herself a house, she has hewn our her
seven pillars from stone'.

Thanks, Trish:
All great suggestions. You know, deciding on what to stitch may be
harder than I thought, there are so many wonderful and appropriate
passages. I've also thought of the prayer of St. Francis.
