An Uncommon Love
Terah Cox
May you have the love only two can know.
May you go where only two as one may go.
May the sun rise and set in your bonded hearts
and the moon never find you too long apart.
May you cherish each other's dreams as your own
and turn stumbling blocks into steppingstones.
May you brave life's mountains and miles together.
May there be no storm your love cannot weather.
May you be lovers and allies and friends.
May your soul's conversation never end.
May you capture on earth what's in heaven above.
May your hearts know the rapture of an uncommon love.
A Vow
Wendy Cope
I cannot promise never to be angry;
I cannot promise always to be kind.
You know what you are taking on, my darling –
It’s only at the start that love is blind.
And yet I’m still the one you want to be with
And you’re the one for me – of that I’m sure.
You are my closest friend, my favourite person,
The lover and the home I’ve waited for.
I cannot promise that I will deserve you
From this day on I hope to pass that test.
I love you and I want to make you happy.
I promise I will do my very best
More Than Just a Ring
A marriage is more than just a ring-
It's more than words the two of you will say.
It's the quiet promise tucked within your hearts,
To choose each other, every single day.
It isn't only passion's fire or thrill,
But something softer, steadier, and still.
It's hands held tight when days are long,
A whispered "we" when things go wrong.
It's planting love like seeds in spring,
Then tending it through everything-
The winds, the rain, the skies turned grey,
And watching something bloom and stay.
It's laughter shared in quiet rooms,
It's knowing when the silence blooms.
It's finding joy in morning light,
And wrapping arms around the night.
Today, this ring becomes a sign-
Not just of love, but of design:
Two lives that weave, a thread so fine,
A story written line by line.
So wear this ring not just with pride,
But with the promise held inside
That through all seasons, storm or sun,
Your hearts will beat as if they're one.
They Say "I Do"
Today, they stand with hearts aligned,
Two souls whose journeys have entwined.
With quiet strength and joyful grace,
They step together, face to face.
They say "I do" to laughter shared,
To tender moments gently cared.
To every storm and every sun,
To weaving lives that now are one.
They say "I do" to love's embrace,
To patience, kindness, time and space.
To days both ordinary and bright,
To holding on through darkest night.
In this, their vow, a promise true
A dance begun, forever new.
With hands held tight and spirits free
They build a love, as vast as sea.
So here they stand, both proud and true?
Two hearts that beat a single "I do."
I Will Be Here
Steven Curtis Chapman
If in the morning when you wake,
If the sun does not appear,
I will be here.
If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
I will be here.
I will be here,
When you feel like being quiet,
When you need to speak your mind I will listen.
The Apache Wedding Blessing
Elliott 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 is no loneliness,
for each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons,
but therer is only one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling to enter into
the days of your life together And may your days be good and long upon earth.
That Still and Settled Place
Edward Monkton
In that still and settled place
There’s nobody but you
You’re where I breathe my oxygen
You’re where I see my view
And when the world feels full of noise
My heart knows what to do
It finds that still and settled place
And dances there with you.
