Til Death Do Us Part

死が二人を分かつまで (shi ga futari wo wakatsu made)

死が二人を分かつまで (shi ga futari wo wakatsu made): till death do us part. 死 shi is death; が marks it as the one that acts; 二人 futari is the two, with no us, which Japanese leaves to the couple standing there; 分かつ wakatsu is the formal verb to part, to divide one thing into two, where everyday speech would say 分ける; まで made is until. The clause is the Church of England's, in the marriage service of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, where it reads till death us do part, the word order modern speech turns around. The Japanese is what churches and wedding chapels in Japan say today in this wording, a vow spoken aloud before it is hung on a wall.

Verify: 死が二人を分かつまで in the Japanese-English Dictionary

This beautiful art carries the closing words of the traditional wedding vow, a heartfelt gift for a wedding or anniversary and a lasting reminder of a promise meant to last a lifetime.
