The Couple

Us

You are still You
And I am still me
But after all the
hustle and bustle and fuss
You and I become We
And married we'll be...
And then we become "US"

Our Wedding

Today we share a moment
That we will treasure all our lives
We exchange vows before our Father
That will make us man and wife.

How fitting that the seaside
Would hear us say I do
For as vast as is the ocean
Is the Father's love for me and you.

Higher than the tallest mountain
And deeper than the deepest sea
Is the love of our Heavenly father
Who watches over you and me.

And now we say our vows to each other
As we look deep into the heart
Of the one we promise to cherish
And from whom we shall never part.

We do not take this promise lightly
We do not ever want to stray
From the vows we make before the Lord
On this our wedding day.

From this marriage is more than the two of us
It is made of not two but three
For to be a successful marriage
In the center God must be.

So I give a ring to you today
To pledge my love to you
And take the ring that you give to me
To be yours for our whole life through.

Together We Walk Into Our Future

Side by side and hand in hand
We walk into our future
No longer two alone but two together
Promising each other to love and nurture
Be it fair sky or stormy weather.
Today we walk out into love, light and beauty
With gentle skies and balmy sunlit air
We are surrounded by those who love us
Happiness and laughter are everywhere.
But our promises of love will be enduring
No matter what life will hold in store
And with each step we take into our future
I promise I will only love you more!

Seeing You Again....
for the Very First Time

I saw you only yesterday
And many days before
And every time I saw you
I loved you even more.

But today I saw you wear the dress
In which you would be wed
And it was as if a thousand stars
Went off inside my head.

I know I saw you yesterday
Precious bride of mine
But seeing you today
Was seeing you
for the very first time!

I saw you looking like an angel
A vision all in white
And it filled my day with sunshine
And gave my soul delight.

I will carry with me always
The look of you today
And it will a treasured memory still
When we are old and gray!

To My Hubby

I love you more than chocolate
I love you more than pie
You are my one true love
The apple of my eye.

You make my heart go pitter patter
So much that I can't sleep
I end up counting my blessings
Instead of counting sheep!

I love you in the morning
I love you late at night
When the day is cloudy
Or when the sun is bright.

I guess what I am saying
Is that I love you true
And want to send a card to say
I'm so glad that I belong to you!

Living Our Dream

When we first wed
We had a dream
That got forgotten
Or lost, it would seem.

But suddenly we have found again
The life and love that should have been.
The past is gone and can't be reclaimed
But our love for each other still remains.

How fortunate are we
and oh how blessed
To have this second chance
At happiness!

I pledge my heart and love to you
Each day from now and my whole life through
For I know now what I have been searching for
Was you, my love, and nothing more.

Second Chance at Romance

So many years ago
We had a dream
That was forgotten
Or lost, it would seem.

But suddenly we have found again
The life and love that should have been.
The past is gone and can't be reclaimed
But in each heart love still remains.

How fortunate are we
And oh how blessed
To have this second chance
At happiness!

I pledge my heart and love to you
For each day my whole life through
I know now what I have been searching for;
It was you, my love, and nothing more.
