We Two 

~
Kuan Tao-Sheng ~
(13th Century)

You and I
Have so much love,
That it burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.

Then we take both of them,
And mix the pieces of water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.

I am in your clay.
You are in my clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share one coffin.

Today

~
Unknown ~

Today I marry my friend,
the one I laugh and cry with,
the one I have learned from and shared with.

This one I have chosen to support, encourage and give myself to, through all the days given us to share.

Today I marry the one I love.

 

 


To you I give my heart …..

~ Ruth Van Gramberg ~

I stand beside you strong and sure
my dearest, dearest friend,
And as we make our sacred vows
My thoughts of you transcend.
I give you my heart, my hopes, my dreams

Accept these gifts of mine
They are so precious and fragile
They need your care divine.
Treat my trust with gentleness

Treat me with loving care
I can but grow with patience and love
As long as you are there.

 

To My Bride

~ Steven Reiser ~

To my bride, I give you my heart
Sharing love each day, from the very start

To my bride, I give you my kiss
Filling each day with joy and bliss

To my bride, I give you my being
To love, to play, to work and to sing

To my bride, I give you my mind
Learning each day to be more kind

To my bride, I give you my soul
Growing together to be more whole

To my bride, I give you my life
Rejoicing each day that you are my wife.

Love

~ Roy Croft ~

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.

I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.


 

 

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good,
And more than any fate
To make me happy.

You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.

Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

Loving You

~ Larry S. Chengges ~
 
Your love is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
It has given my life new priorities and meaning and filled it with joy.

Thank you for giving so much of yourself,
And for helping me to discover so much about myself too.

Sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself.
When we are together,
Love feels so right with you,
And I miss you so much when we are apart

I'll always be there for you,
And together I know,
We can make our dreams come true.

 

 

I Promise 

~ Dorothy R. Colgan

I promise to give you the best of myself and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to respect you as your own person and to realise that your interests, desires and needs are no less important than my own.

I promise to share with you my time and my attention and to bring joy, strength and imagination to our relationship.

I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you see through the window of my world into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face changes in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all I feel inside in the only way I know how. Completely and forever.
