Is anyone here of Native American decent? I need Wedding Words?
As far as I can figure out, it is a Pueblo wedding ceremony of handwashing (unlike the Jewish tradition) which symbolizes the washing away of past pain & old loves.
What are the words that go with this ceremony? I would think that there would be particular ones. I find none, anywhere. And how, precisely, is the ceremony performed?

Native ceremony should only be done by someone who is traditional and has done the ceremony many times. It is no different then asking how a Catholic or Baptist wedding ceremony is performed, then trying to mimic it yourself. Their is a reason why our ceremonies have existed and have been performed certain ways for many, many generations. It is not something to be taken lightly.
I mean no disrespect or meanness in my words. If what you are looking for is that deeply in your heart. Then there are ways to find someone true to help you. Take them tobacco and ask them your question. They will tell you what you need to know.
Be well and many blessings on your union.
