May Wedding Poems and Vows

Wedding Toast
St.
John tells how, at Cana's wedding feast, The water-pots poured wine in such amount That by his sober count There were a hundred gallons at the least.
It made no earthly sense, unless to show How whatsoever love elects to bless Brims to a sweet excess That can without depletion overflow.
Which is to say that what love sees is true; That this world's fullness is not made but found.
Life hungers to abound And pour its plenty out for such as you.
Now, if your loves will lend an ear to mine, I toast you both, good son and dear new daughter.
May you not lack for water, And may that water smack of Cana's wine.
by Richard Wilbur

Pardners On the Trail
When someone rides the trail alone, It's a lonely way to go, Without a place to hitch the heart, And without a warm, true love to know. But when a cowboy rides the trail With his lady by his side, Even when the traveling's rough, Life's trail can be a joyful ride. So, saddle up and hit the trail, And may your lives be ever blessed, As you ride along, side by side, Toward the sunset in the west.

The Cherry Trees
The cherry trees bend over and are shedding, On the old road where all that passed are dead, Their petals, strewing the grass as for a wedding This early May morn when there is none to wed.
by Edward Thomas

I Shall Not Burn
I have done with love and lust, I reck not for gold or fame; I await familiar dust These frail fingers to reclaim: Not for me the tiger flame.
Not for me the furnace glow, Rage of fire and ashen doom; To sweet earth my bones bestow Where above a lowly tomb January roses bloom.
Fools and fools and fools are you Who your dears to fires confide; Give to Mother Earth her due: Flesh may waste but bone will bide,-- Let loved ones lie side by side.
Let God's Acre ever dream; Shed your tears and blossoms bring; On age-burnished bone will gleam Crucifix and wedding ring: Graves are for sweet comforting.
Curst be those who my remains Hurl to horror of the flames!
by Robert William Service

Joshua
Every kiss sends a shock through me Every touch makes my heart stop The way he looks a me when making love Makes my stomach turn into a knot I want to know everything about him I know this may sound just a little bit silly But I want to be with him forever And be Mrs. Joshua Lilly

In My Heart
I feel in my heart he will stay. He lives in my heart. He is what I live for. He is faithful to me, I am faithful to him. We may pass on, But our love will live on if only in memory.

Yes?
Deep feelings of bliss love and rejoice, confusing thoughts that leave me no choice. Should I kiss you or should I wait, our love's the catch your lips the bait. Do I need to ask should I even dare, wedlock's the question for a perfect pair. When I look into your eyes I can't help but to feel, the warmth of your soul heaven has to be real... Answer me baby though it may cause some stress, when I pop the question will the answer be yes?

The Key To the Heart
It's something meant to cherish, And is guarded, Oh, so well. The contents one will find inside Reflect this foreign cell. On its door contains a lock Made entirely of solid gold. Only one is able to open it And find treasures unforetold. Some hold tightly to its value And they keep it close to heart, While others may give it freely Right off from the very start. The thought to hold onto to Guide you through each day, Is to wait for that treasure Of equal value, to exchange On one's wedding day.

Souly Yours
I want to be manipulated and made into The River's self-consciousness cleansed and new with every bend so that I may be Souly Yours.

A Uniting of Hearts
A union of two hearts Becoming one forever. The happiest of marriages, including one more. Someone to guide you through life's storms. He's the glue that bonds your love, Making dreams come true, sending blessings from above. May the day be special filled with joy! May the love you have found be bound by glory! Trust in God, trust in each other, May you have a happy life Forever together.

My True Love
You are my friend. You are my love. You were sent to me by the one up above. You are so wonderful. I am blessed that you're in my life. My whole world changed the day we became man and wife. I never thought i would ever find someone like you, but GOD had it all planned out. We were always meant to be together, i know that without a shadow of a doubt. There may be times we will struggle. There may be times we will want to give up. Lets always remember to work together. You are my angel. You will always be the man i love.

I'Ve Been Waiting For This
As the sun sets on yet another beautiful day I sit alone outside grateful that I may Life isn't perfect and life isn't grand But you are here to hold my hand People are cruel, this we know to be true Each day is brighter, thanks to you As our hair grows grey year after year Never again will living be filled with fear Stand up and shout it to the hills and streams To the stars in the heavens and sunbeams I've been waiting for this all of my life And it happened the day I became your wife

I Promise
I promise to love you on our good days and bad. I promise to respect you no matter how our opinions on the matter may clash I promise to honor you by never putting you down nor allowing others. I promise to try not to embarrass you in front of others. I promise to stand by you in sickness and in health, for I love you. I promise to share in the trails and tribulations life may throw our way. I promise to help you no matter how different we may be. I promise to hold our truth's dear. This I promise you.
