Poems

At The Wedding March

 God with honour hang your head,
Groom, and grace you, bride, your bed
With lissome scions, sweet scions,
Out of hallowed bodies bred. 
Each be other's comfort kind:
Déep, déeper than divined,
Divine charity, dear charity,
Fast you ever, fast bind. 

Then let the March tread our ears:
I to him turn with tears
Who to wedlock, his wonder wedlock,
Déals tríumph and immortal years.

My Daughters Wedding Day

December twentieth two thousand and three,
A day to remember in my memory.
The day that my daughter, the light of my life,
Will walk down the aisle, to become someone’s wife.

And I shall be proud as I walk by her side,
The father of such a beautiful bride.
The groom will be waiting, best man by his side,
And lips will be bitten, eyes trying not to cry.

Vows they will both make “I do “both will say,
On this, my daughters wedding day.
Proud we’ll both stand, her mother and me,
And remember the time that they were we.

Afternoon Music

Cool breezy chapel,
Summer wedding— pastor’s voice
Climbs into the bride’s 

Ears, the groom whispers to God;
A baby cries— rings exchanged.

Kissing, Caressing

Shapely and pert
Curves of delight
Skin so soft
My want excites

We lean in together
Two bodies in blend
Our signals transmit
Sensuous send

My hands cup
Her womanly charms
She touches me gentle
As i kiss down her arms

In sync we love
Like rolling ocean waves
Kissing, caressing
As we inner crave

In each other we absorb
Skin to skin
Our moment of capture
Loving joys from within

Releasing we do
Contentedly spooned
On our honeymoon
We, bride and groom

Walk of Life

Preparations have been made
Over a year of long glorious planning
Flowers, tux and food have been picked
A long lovely, flowing beaded gown, a real southern belle

Organ piping the bridal march, 
Glowing bride and nervous groom oblivious
Forever bound into the marrital
Walk of life. Presenting to you
Life long mates. Hands clutched,
smiles wide, hearts full, expecting the best to come!

For the Walk to remember contest

The Wedding Cake

The bride and groom
decided to bake
a white icing and double chocolate
wedding cake;
never much of a cook
it was a chance the bride took
a special dish
to serve their friends
who would come and attend
flour and cocoa on the counter
soon the groom was smiling..
the room a disaster!
food was everywhere
the floor the air
even..the brides hair!
eventually the made their cake
and now a special memory 
they have to keep

Wedding Day

The wedding day is finally here.
The bride is happy and full of cheer
The groom is waiting, standing tall
for his lovely bride to grace them all.
Such a vision, all dressed in white
her gown is flowing what a beautiful sight.
The rings are exchanged,
the vows have been said,
on this special day,
the couple is wed.
Pronounced to the world,
Husband and Wife
together they go 
to start their new life.

The Wedding

The groom standing next to the minister
Nervous, sweating gettting cold feet
Maybe we should wait until next winter
Then the bride enters the suite

As she walks down the isle
The minister sees her smile
As is reflected in the groom's eyes
And what to his surprise

The groom's jaw relaxes
A smile comes on his face
An attitude of love says
I would give my life in her place

(This truth and a metaphor.)

The Wedding

there she stands
in her white flowing dress
beautiful flowers in her hair
she couldn't be happier
she's waited so long for this moment
waiting to greet her groom
she can hardly keep standing
the song begins to play
sounding like a million trumpets
she walks down the isle
wishing she could run
she sees her mother and father
and all her closest friends
it all seems so unreal
and then she wakes up
it was all a dream
a bitter sweet dream
she knows the one she dreams of
her heart begins to break
maybe one of these days
this dream will come true

Overview

The groom can be portrayed in wedding poetry as both a beloved individual and a person stepping into a shared future. A strong poem looks beyond formal clothes and ceremony to notice his character: the way he listens, the steadiness he brings, the humor that eases difficult days, or the small gestures that make love feel lived in.

Poems for or about the groom may be intimate, playful, grateful, or quietly reflective. They can be written by his partner, a parent, a sibling, a friend, or the groom himself. The most affecting language is usually specific. A remembered conversation, an ordinary ritual, or a promise grounded in daily life will reveal more than a list of grand compliments. Whether the poem is read during the ceremony, included in a letter, or shared in a speech, let it honor who he is now while welcoming who the couple will become together.

Meaning and Symbolism

In wedding poetry, the groom often symbolizes commitment made personal: not an abstract ideal, but one person choosing to build a life with another. His presence can represent trust, companionship, responsibility, tenderness, and the courage to be fully known.

Images associated with the groom need not be limited to rings, suits, or the altar. A poet might use a doorway to suggest transition, joined hands to express mutual support, or a familiar path to show how separate histories have arrived at one moment. Keep the symbolism balanced and individual. The groom is not merely a role or a fixed model of masculinity; he is a particular person whose qualities, relationships, and hopes give the wedding its emotional meaning.

Wedding Poem Writing Ideas

Build the poem around details that make the groom recognizable rather than relying on general praise.

  • Begin with a revealing moment: Recall when he showed patience, courage, humor, or unexpected tenderness.
  • Use an everyday detail: Describe a familiar habit, shared meal, favorite expression, or quiet routine that carries emotional weight.
  • Contrast past and future: Set an early memory beside the wedding day, then imagine how the relationship may continue to grow.
  • Write from a distinct viewpoint: Let a partner, parent, sibling, or friend describe what they uniquely understand about him.
  • Make promises practical: Pair large hopes with specific commitments, such as listening carefully, sharing burdens, or protecting time together.
  • Match his personality: Choose playful, restrained, affectionate, or reflective language that sounds true to the groom being celebrated.

Sample Wedding Poem Lines

Today, your quiet laugh steadies all the bright noise around us.
You stand beside me with tomorrow open in your face.
Your promise has the warmth of a lamp kept glowing for my return.
In your careful kindness, our ordinary mornings find their shape.
Beside you, I choose the daily work and wonder of us.
