Epithalamium

My heart is inditing a poetic matter My tongue is the workmanship of a divine potter My glossa is the verbal-scripter of a meditative writer These words are the instinctive outburst of my soul Liken to the boiling fountains of geysers of shoal It is so sad when the heart is cold with a good matter It is even worse when it is warm with a bad matter I speak of the things my tongue has composed concerning the groom and the bride Words can never describe how we all feel today Such feeling will be expressed in poetic words than kept, yet With all the splendor of such a feeling, there is one most important thing Love is the most important thing What a word we use for an idea so immense and powerful What a one syllable for a theme so divine and wonderful Love is a mighty power, not just to propose with a Rose flower It has altered the flow of history; it has solved every unsolved mystery Love lightens every burden, and bears every hardship as though it were nothing It renders all bitterness acceptable and delectable Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger Nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more like fire Nothing to desire, nothing fuller or better in heaven or earth For love is born of God, Love flies, runs and leaps for joy It is free and unrestrained, love cannot be chain Love ardently transcends all bounds, Love feels no burden Takes no account of toil, and attempts things beyond its strength Love is not fickle nor a tickle, nor is it formalities nor vanities Love is a revelation, a desire deeper than civilization Love’s dimensions is built on Christ foundation To the glorious groom and beautiful bride One elegant, one glorious, evoking admiring glances Two loves passed down the long wide aisle Between two lengthening rows of smiles God has brought you together, not to be torn asunder To be united in His love, with faith in God above This is not a mere ceremony but a Holy Matrimony Today as you begin the rest of your life Together forever as husband and wife May your dreams come true, with love and more Adventures to have and the world to explore As you celebrate your wedding this day As you exchange your vows, I just want to say These wedding memories will linger in our heart as a treasure And seeing family, love ones and friends here is a pleasure
