A Grace before a dinner celebrating the Civil Partnership of two good friends

A grace given before a dinner celebrating the Civil Partnership of two good friends:

From the Yorkshire Moors to The Golden State;
there’s no distance too far for your soul mate!
Now a new journey has begun, no time to reminisce
  about blowing the last long-goodbye kiss.
Sharing a home and all their stuff
They’ve celebrated their love together at Goodenough.
So let us thank God for such a special day;
before sharing the First Supper after anchors aweigh
and give thanks for being with them on this new trip; 
   the maiden voyage on their civil partner-ship.
Amen.
