Each of us - a half - incomplete
together we are as one. . .
in this there shall be joy

Let this be our destiny
to love, to live
to begin each new day together
to share our lives forever

Today is the first day
of our life together
Each hour, each day, each year
We grow as two, yet as one,
We grow apart, yet together
Forming an eternal love

The love we share today
shines from sunrise to sunrise
growing brighter, year to year
as we share our lives

As a rainbow
brings beauty to our lives
So our love
brings the promise of joy
How beautiful is the day
that is touched by
Love

Love is beautiful
simply by being what it is

Two lives, two hearts
joined together in friendship
united forever in
Love

We will share our tomorrows
and all that they hold

Love fills the moment
and the moment begins eternity
Love fills a lifetime
and a lifetime begins this hour

The most joyous of occasions
is the union of man and woman
in celebration of life . . .

With each believing the other to be
a giver of love, a sharer of sorrow,
a bringer of joy and a reason for life

One love
that is shared
by two . . .

Today we love . . .
and tomorrow . . .
forever . . .

Love is the most beautiful gift
we are given
to share

The miracle of love is
that love is given to us
to give to one another . . .

In the sweetness of love
let there be laughter
and in all our tomorrows
the freshness of today

You are a part of our lives . . .
please be part of
our celebration of love

Like the flames of two candles
that unite
to form a single flame

Hand in had heart to heart
love encircles us . . .

In this world of uncertainty
and confusion,
we two have found each other . . .
different yet alike
We have grown together in
love and understanding

Today we begin sharing
our life . . .
. . . our love

On this day
I will marry my friend
The one who shares my dreams,
life and
Love

This day
I will marry my best friend,
the one I laugh with,
live for, Love

He is soft-spoken,
and I am a chatterbox
He loves a love story,
and I like to laugh
He whispered,
"Will you marry me?"
and I shouted, "Yes!"

The ultimate miracle of love is this
that love is given to us
to give to one another . . .
