EspañolAPACHE WEDDING PRAYER
The 'Apache Wedding Prayer', 'Indian Wedding Blessing', and other variants, is a prayer commonly recited at weddings in the United States. It is not associated with any particular religion and indeed does not mention a deity or include a petition, only a wish.
It was written for the 1950 Western movie ''Broken Arrow'' and has no known connection to the traditions of the Apache or any other Native American group. The ''Economist,'' citing "One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding" by Rebecca Mead, has characterized it as "'traditionalesque', commerce disguised as tradition".
