1. Two Hearts Heather Berry
Where our two hearts intertwine to become one,
There lies a promise.
It is a place where the hope and majesty of beginnings reside,
Where all things are made possible.
As we hold each other’s hands in this promise,
And eagerly look to the future in each other’s eyes,
May our unconditional love and devotion
Take us to places, of which we’ve both only dreamed,
Where we’ll dwell for a lifetime of happiness
Sheltered in the warmth of each other’s arms.
2. Today is the beginning of a dream Leslie A Neilson
Today is the beginning of a dream.
A day where our souls are woven together.
We will cherish every moment that life offers.
And celebrate every small pleasure.
We will express our love at every chance,
And allow it to unfold gracefully.
We will show our devotion and dedicate our lives
To the enrichment of each other.
We will strive always for honesty and integrity.
Build upon our marriage daily.
And seek to understand each other.
But above all this…
We will draw upon the love we feel today
And forever etch it in our hearts.
3. Irish Wedding Blessing
May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace.
May your troubles grow few as your blessings increase.
May the saddest day of your future
Be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
May your hands be forever clasped in friendship
And your hearts joined forever in love.
Your lives are very special,
God has touched you in many ways.
May his blessings rest upon you
And fill all your coming days.
4. Feel No Rain -E. Arnold
Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there will be no loneliness,
for each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons,
but there is only one life before you.
May beauty surround you both in the
journey ahead and through all the years,
May happiness be your companion and
your days together be good and long upon the earth.
written as an “Apache” Blessing by non-Native author Elliott Arnold in his Western novel(and movie) Blood Brother
5. Scottish Wedding Prayer
Lord, help us to remember when we first met
and the strong love that grew between us,
To work that love into practical things so that
nothing can divide us.
We ask for words both kind and loving
and hearts always ready to ask forgiveness
as well as to forgive.
Dear Lord, we put our marriage into your hands.
6. Complete Author Unknown
As the days go by
Each of us
Slowly gives away
Little pieces of who we are…
We give of ourselves
To family
To friends
To people we know…
But always inside…
We keep a special little piece
until one day,
In one given moment,
we know to whom it belongs
And in giving away this piece of ourselves,
we are now complete.
7. All That I am Sebastian Temple
All that I am, all that I do,
all that I’ll ever have
I offer now to you.
All that I dream, all that I pray,
all that I’ll ever make,
I give to you today.
8. The Promise Robert Sexton
Nearly all human endeavors must yield to the flow of time.
Only love transcends it and allows us to merge
with that which is immortal.
With faith and perseverance,
The Promise is forever.
9. True Love Helen Steiner Rice
True Love is a sacred flame that burns eternally.
And none can dim its special glow or change its destiny.
Love speaks in tender tones and hears with gentle ear.
it gives with open heart and always conquers fear.
Love makes no harsh demands. It neither rules nor binds.
True Love holds with gentle hands the hearts that it entwines.
10. Bridal Prayer Copeland
Here in this holy place, as we stand before the Father, and stand before the Son;
Here in this quiet hour, in the presence of the Spirit, our lives become as one
To listen when He calls us, and follow where He leads;
To be the kind of servants He needs
Here in these sacred vows, we pledge our lives together,
To love and serve in Jesus’ name, Amen.
11. The Gift Pam Brown
In you are flowers and firelight,
stars and songbirds,
the scent of summer,
the stillness just before dawn.
I love you today,
dressed in glory.
I will love you always-
dancing, singing, reading, making, planning, arguing.
I will love you cantankerous, and tired,
courageous and in terror,
joyful, fearful and triumphant.
I will love you through all weathers and all change.
For all you are is precious to me.
And every day I live with you
and share your love
is a gift to me.
12. Touched By An Angel Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only Love
which sets us free.
13. A Passage From Captain Corelli’s Mandolin Louis De Bernières
Love is a temporary madness,
it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just being “in love” which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are One Tree and not two.
14. Mickey without Minnie Author Unknown
What’s Mickey without Minnie,
Or Piglet without Pooh,
What’s Donald without Daisy?
That’s me without you.
When Ariel Doesn’t sing,
and Pooh hates honey,
when Tigger stops bouncing,
and Goofy isn’t funny.
When Peter Pan can’t fly,
and Simba never roars,
when Alice no longer fits
through small doors.
When Dumbo’s ears are small,
and happily ever after isn’t true,
Even then, I won’t stop loving you.
15. Doves Author Unknown
Two doves meeting in the sky
Two loves hand in hand, eye to eye
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul
Two stars shining big and bright
Two fires bringing warm than dlight
Two songs played in perfect tune
Two flowers growing into bloom
Two doves gliding in the air
Two loves free without a care
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul
Two dreams found before too late
Two lives together bound by fate
Two people cling to one another
Two people in love with each other
Two doves, can you see them soar?
Two loves – who could ask for more?
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul
16. Love Is A Song from Bambi
Love is a song that never ends.
Life may be swift and fleeting,
Hope may die, yet love’s beautiful music
Comes each day like the dawn.
Love is a song that never ends
One simple theme repeating
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love’s sweet music flows on
17. To Be One With Each Other George Eliot
What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?
18. When the One Author Unknown
When the one whose hand you’re holding
Is the one one who holds your heart,
When the one whose eyes you gaze into
Gives your hopes and dreams their start,
When the one you think of first and last
Is the one who holds you tight,
And the things you plan together
Make the whole world seem just right,
When the one whom you believe in
puts their faith and trust in you,
You’ve found the one and only love
You’ll share your whole life through.
19. Together Author Unknown
This day I married my best friend,
the one I laugh with as we share life’s wonderous 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.
20. I Can Promise Mark Twain
I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.
But I can promise all my heart’s devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that’s ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
21. Song Of Ruth Gregory Norbet
Wherever you go, I shall go.
Wherever you live, so shall I live.
We will be together forever;
And our love will be the gift of our lives.
