A Wedding Prayer

Today is the beginning.
In the years that lie ahead
May you always share the love you have
This day as you are wed.

I pray you'll each be one on whom
The other can depend,
And may you share not only love,
But be each other's friend.

Some hopes may not be realized,
Some dreams may not come true,
But many of them will, I know,
To bless the two of you.

Within the home that you will have,
I pray you'll always find
Contentment, joy, security,
Good health and peace of mind.

Wedding Poem for Gift Album

(adapted by Donna in MB from a poem by Jean Gifford)

Weddings are enchanting
But with all you've got to do
This gift will make it easy
To keep a record true.

Choose your favorite photos
Then remove the plastic sheet,
Peel up the blue tabs then
Place your picture, neat!


Add some special stories,
Of moments precious to you,
Slide on the plastic once again,
That's all you need to do!

This album you will treasure,
As you collect with care
These memories sweet and special,
of a day beyond compare.

Wedding Prayer

We have shared your life and love
And now we send you on
Knowing that the love you've promised here
Will keep you strong.

Share with us if ever
There is something we can do.
Know that you are loved,
And love will always be our prayer for you!

I Thee Wed

I cannot turn my back just now,
I sense your need of me.
I am here.
I married you
Not only for the good that I can take
But for all that I can give.
I understand.
I accept.
I thee wed.


The road is bright before us
as hand in hand we start,
One mind, one soul, one heart.

To My Bride

To my bride, I give you my heart,
Sharing love each day, from the very start.

To my bride, I give you my kiss,
Filling each day with joy and bliss.

To my bride, I give you my being,
To love, to play, to work and to sing.

To my bride, I give you my mind,
Learning each day to be more kind.

To my bride, I give you my soul,
Growing together to be more whole.

To my bride, I give you my life,
Rejoicing each day that you are my wife.

The Countdown

(Marlys Bradley)

Finger by finger, she counted
The days until
Her birthday cake,
The start of school,
The Christmas tree
And Grandma's house.

Now finger-by-finger,
She dons white gloves
And reaches for a veil.

The music starts,
Our fingers touch and
I count myself blessed.


Wedding Wish for My Daughter

Beautiful child who lay in my arms
Was it only yesterday?
Diapers to pigtails, laughter and love
Sweeping the years away
Today your life will join as one
With the man you will love forever
And I know it is right...
for I've seen the joy
That the two of you share together
Time's come...you're a woman
I must say "goodbye"
Let me hold you and kiss your soft curls
On my face is a smile, but
There are tears in my heart
For you are still my little girl


Who Gives This Woman?

Who gives this woman to be wed?
Her Mother and I.
We gave her dawn.
We gave her grace.
We stamped our image on her face.
We gave her books,
And through the years,
Calmed her early childhood fears.
We gave her faith.
We gave her prayer.
She walked our road.
She climbed our stairs.
And now in solemn troth we swear,
We cannot give.
We only share.

For my Dad with all my Love...

Your little girl is all grown up
and has found a love so true,
but a special place in my heart
will always belong to you.

For my Mom with all my Love...

Only a Mother is truly aware
of her daughter's needs, her dreams, her cares;
and is always supportive from beginning to end...
I'm thankful you are my mother, my friend.

Marriage Means Being in Love for the Rest of Your Life

(Chris Ardis)

Marriage is love walking hand in hand together. It's laughing with each other about silly little things, and learning to discuss big things with care and tenderness. In marriage, love is trusting each other when you're apart. It's getting over disappointments and hurts, knowing that these are present in all relationships. It is the realization that there is no one else in this world that you'd rather be with than the one you're married to. It's thinking of new things to do together; it's growing old together.
Marriage is being in love for the rest of your life.
