Life Is To Share
A silver tea set, shining bright,
Romantic in the candle light.
Appliances costly, copper and brass,
Clothes of linen, china and glass.
These are gifts, lovely and rare,
Showered on the bridal pair.
But I would give with all wedding bands,
The joy of laboring with loving hands.
The pleasure that comes with painting a chair,
And the love that grows with the chores we share.
If I had my way, I’d make it a law,
Each bride gets a paintbrush, each groom a saw!

Marriage Joins Two People In The Circle Of Its Love
Marriage is a commitment to life, the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other relationship can equal. It is a physical and an emotional joining that is promised for a lifetime.
Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life’s most important relationships. A wife and a husband are each other’s best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic. And there may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing, and the love of the other may resemble the tender caring of a parent for a child.
Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life. Happiness is fuller, memories are fresher, commitment is stronger, even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly.
Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, and new ways of expressing a love that is deeper than life.
When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage, they create a spirit unique unto themselves which binds them closer than any spoken or written words. Marriage is a promise, a potential made in the hearts of two people who love each other and takes a lifetime to fulfil.

I Love You
How do you always manage to
Free my day from stress and sorrow
How do you always manage to
Give me hope for a better tomorrow
How do you always manage to
Uplift my spirits and set me free
How do you always manage to
Bring out the best in me
How do you always manage to be
Such a wonderful and beautiful wife
I hope in return, I can also give you
A wonderful and beautiful life.

This Day I Married My Best Friend
This day I married my best 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.

I’d Marry You Again
With tiny tears that glistened, my eyes were fixed on you.
And thinking of the life we’d share, we softly said “I do.”
Our hearts were knit together from the time that we first met,
And memories were gathered, that we never will forget.
While daily living life with you, you saw the real me,
And still you chose acceptance, a lifelong mystery.
With many happy days gone by, and others when we cried,
Some days we’d share so endlessly, while other days we’d hide.
With all the ups and downs we’ve had, in learning to be friends,
I know that in this heart of mine, I’d marry you again.

Wedding Vow
I vow to honor the commitment made this day
Which, unlike the flowers and the cake,
Will not wither or decay. A promise, not to obey
But to respond joyfully, to forgive and to console,
For once incomplete, we now are whole.
I vow to bear in mind that if, at times
Things seem to go from bad to worse,
They also go from bad to better.
The lost purse is handed in, the letter
Contains wonderful news. Trains run on time,
Hurricanes run out of breath, floods subside,
And toast lands jam-side up.
And with this ring, my final vow:
To recall, whatever the future may bring,
The love I feel for you now.

Oh, Promise Me!
When he was courting
He promised me gold,
And all the furs
My arms could hold.
The world, so he said
He would lay at my feet,
I scarcely believed
But it’s true and complete:
I have a gold filling,
(Third molar, I think)
And a purring old cat
With fur soft as mink.
The world he tracks in
All over the room,
And I sweep it out
Ahead of my broom.
