Older Bride and Groom

Bride to Groom

I searched for so many years
Not knowing it was for you
I only knew deep in my heart
That there was a love so true.
I searched in so many places
And in so many ways I tried
To find the one who was my true love
And who want want me as his bride.
I had almost given up
And all hope I thought was gone
When miracle of miracles
Suddenly you came along!

Groom to Bride

I searched for so many years
Not knowing it was for you
I only knew deep in my heart
That there was a love so true.
I searched in so many places
And in so many ways I tried
To find the one who was my true love
And who want desire to be my bride.
I had almost given up
And all hope I thought was gone
When miracle of miracles
Suddenly you came along!

The Invitation

You are invited to a wedding
For folks some would consider old
We will be celebrating our paper anniversary
When most our age are approaching "gold".
We don't need our parents' permission
For what we want to do
All we need is a minister
And the attendance of friends like you!
Please join us as we celebrate
And be prepared for some fun
We waited many years for this
And want to share it with everyone!

Getting Married Again

They say that love is for the young
And of it poets write each day
But more beautiful than all of their words
Is the love in my heart to stay.
I have waited so many years
To find this one I stand beside;
I'm so thrilled that she answered yes
When I asked her to be my bride.

Young Love at 60

I feel like I'm a kid again
But even better than before
I've found my true soul mate
And the person I adore!
There are no qualms about our looks
Been there and done all that-
Not concerned about being thin
Don't mind a bit of fat!
I'm just so excited about my love
That I just have to share
While I still have several of my teeth
And he still has a bit of hair!

Our Wedding

Our wedding will be special
Even though it is not our first
Our wedding will be simple
And not in the least rehearsed.
We will go to the preacher
And let him hear us say "I do"
And we will promise to love each other
Each day our whole lives through.
We may have silver in our hair
And wrinkles on each face
But that doesn't lessen the impact
Of two lovers sweet embrace.
