| This Day I Married My Friend This day I married my friend..... .... the one I laugh with as we share life's wondrous zest as we find new enjoyments and experience all that's best. ....The one I live for because the world seems brighter as our happy times are better and our burdens feel much lighter. ....The one I love with every fiber of my soul. We used to feel vaguely incomplete, now together we are whole. Son-in-law Scroll When our daughter was a little girl, we often used to say, How proud and happy we would be, on this her wedding day. Our daughter is not lost to us, in fact, we have gained a son. We're happy you can share our joy, and see them joined as one. So, may we welcome all of you, and may this whole day be a happy and a joyous one, for friends and family. A Wedding Poem Then before all they stand, the holy vow and ring of gold, no fond illusions now, Bind her as his. Across the threshold led, And every tear kissed off as soon as shed, His house she enters, there to be a light, Shining within, when all without is night, A guardian angel o'er his life presiding, Doubling his pleasures and his cares dividing, Winning him back when mingling in the throng, Back form the world we love, alas! too long, To fireside happiness, to hours of ease, Blest with that charm, the certainty to please. How oft her eyes read his, her gentle mind To all his wishes, to all his thoughts inclined; Still subject, ever on the watch to borrow Mirth of his mirth and sorrow of is sorrow. --Samuel Rodgers I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart and I'm never without it. anywhere I go, you go, my dear. and whatever is done, by only me, is your doing, my darling. I fear no fear for you are my fate, my sweet. I want no world for beautiful, you are my world my true. it's you or whatever a moon has always meant, and whatever a sun will always sing is you. here is the deepest secret nobody knows here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the tree called life which grows higher and higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide and this is the wonder that is keeping the stars apart I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart. -e.e. cummings Sonnet XVI If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only. Do not say, I love her for her smile- her look- her way Of speaking gently- for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and certes brought A sense of pleasant ease on such a day- For these things in themselves, Beloved, may Be changed, or change for thee- and love, so wrought, May be unwrought so. Neither love me for Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry, A creature might forget to weep, who bore Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby! But love me for love's sake, that evermore Thou mayest love on, through love's eternity. –Elizabeth Barrett Browning An Irish Wedding Blessing May God be with you and bless you. May you see your children's children. May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward. -Author Unknown |
