Poems

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.

A Forever Promise

Anxiously the bachelor dreams 
Of a lifelong commitment
From the insidious bachelorlette, 
He proposed marriage tenderly 
Could I count on you ~
To forsake all others said she, 
He vows to do so forever, 
If she were to love, honor 
And be the best bride ever. 
They agree thus bonding 
In holy matrimony 
Husband and wife 
Were then introduced --Mr. and Mrs. 
After which family, guests 
And wedding party joined
Too, celebrate the start of 
their forever promise
Many blessings

My bride adorned in white lace

In god's presence vows taken

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.

Wedding Vows

With this ring
I will wed
Then I'll take
 You home to bed
Honor and cherish
I will do
Always and forever
I'll love you
Our rings are silver
 Our hearts are gold
From this day forward
I'll have you to hold
Solid and strong
Our marriage will be
Together forever
For all to see

Ride For Love

Two Hearts will join together
Regardless of the weather

So put all other business aside
Hop on your Harley and ride

So as our vows we do say
You can share in the day

Blessed by the Lord above
Share in the union of Love

I Will Marry Parme

I will marry Parme and i will have my wife
-------------when----------
when she is free again!
When she can say the vows;
 the I wills and the I hows,
the time has come to be in bliss,
I kiss (ewe)
I will marry My Parme
and I will have my life!
I will find a place to stay for my Parme;
out of the rain but near the plain;
Out of the heat we will never burn!
I learn to swallow pride
I learn to kiss(())
I will marry Parme 
and then--------
I will never die.
She loves me.
She loves me.
She never loves me not.

Overview

Vows are the spoken heart of a wedding ceremony: promises shaped by two people, their shared history, and the life they hope to build. In wedding poetry, vows can appear as direct declarations, quiet reflections, or a sequence of small, believable commitments. The strongest writing does not need grand language. It often draws its power from precise details: the way one partner brings calm to difficult days, a habit that makes home feel welcoming, or a future the couple can picture together.

A vow poem may be read during the ceremony, included in a keepsake, or written privately for a partner. Its tone can be tender, joyful, playful, solemn, or gently imperfect. What matters is that the words sound true to the speaker. By balancing emotion with concrete promises, a poem about vows can honor both the beauty of the wedding day and the daily care that follows it.

Meaning and Symbolism

Vows symbolize chosen commitment. They turn love from a feeling into an intention: to listen, to remain honest, to offer support, and to keep growing together. In a poem, this movement from emotion to action gives vows their depth. Images of paths, shelter, seasons, hands, or shared light can suggest partnership, but they work best when connected to the couple's own experience.

Vows may also represent trust and mutual responsibility. Rather than promising perfection, contemporary wedding poems can acknowledge change, uncertainty, and the need to choose one another repeatedly. This creates room for language that is sincere without being absolute. The symbolism becomes especially meaningful when each promise respects both partners as individuals while celebrating the life they are freely creating together.

Wedding Poem Writing Ideas

Build a vow poem from promises that feel personal, practical, and possible to keep.

  • Begin with a shared memory. Describe one brief moment that revealed trust, kindness, humor, or resilience in the relationship.
  • Write promises as actions. Replace broad statements with specific intentions, such as listening carefully, making room for change, or offering comfort after difficult days.
  • Use an ordinary detail. Include a familiar ritual, place, meal, journey, or habit that makes the relationship recognizable as your own.
  • Balance the present and future. Name what you value now, then imagine how you hope to care for that bond over time.
  • Read the poem aloud. Shorten crowded sentences, choose natural phrasing, and leave pauses where emotion may make speaking more difficult.

Sample Wedding Poem Lines

I choose the honest work of knowing you, again and again.
When the day runs thin, I will bring patience to the table.
I promise to make room for every person you are becoming.
Let our laughter steady us when the map is hard to read.
Beside you, I will meet the years with open hands.
