Poems
When the buds began to burst,
Long ago, with Rose the First
I was walking; joyous then
Far above all other men,
Till before us up there stood
Britonferry's oaken wood,
Whispering, "Happy as thou art,
Happiness and thou must part."
Many summers have gone by
Since a Second Rose and I
(Rose from the same stem) have told
This and other tales of old.
She upon her wedding day
Carried home my tenderest lay:
From her lap I now have heard
Gleeful, chirping, Rose the Third.
Not for her this hand of mine
Rhyme with nuptial wreath shall twine;
Cold and torpid it must lie,
Mute the tongue, and closed the eye.
Author: Walter Savage Landor
A FEAST was in a village spread,--
It was a wedding-day, they said.
The parlour of the inn I found,
And saw the couples whirling round,
Each lass attended by her lad,
And all seem'd loving, blithe, and glad;
But on my asking for the bride,
A fellow with a stare, replied:
"'Tis not the place that point to raise!
We're only dancing in her honour;
We now have danced three nights and days,
And not bestowed one thought upon her."

Whoe'er in life employs his eyes
Such cases oft will recognise.

Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
M ay your lives merge together as one,
A nd grow stronger with each setting sun,
R ejoice in a faith that is new,
R emembering a love that is true,
I magion eternal happiness filling your hearts,
A nd let no troublesome stirm pull you apart,
G row together with each setting sun,
E ach day till your final day is done.
When I meet you
Will you make us two
I promise always to be true
Ever faithful, through and through
Walk hand in hand when troubles anew
Down wrong paths, your goals to pursue
The bond we have, will always accrue
Aisle parade for our wedded debut
Though we have no expectations
we're committed to our love
as we stand upon life's altar
before the Lord above
Oh blend us Lord together
'neath the heavens and the sun
each heart unto the other
'til we become as one
And in thy mighty power Lord
set angels 'round about
to seal our love forever
and to keep the world without
Then across the mighty heavens write
for all the world to see
all you have placed within our hearts
a love that comes from thee
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.
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.
On their wedding day

I wrote this while attending a wedding. This is serious! lol! The traditional or
classic Japanese senryu format has three lines: the first has
five syllables, second has seven syllables and the third five syllables. The
pattern is 5/7/5 for a total of seventeen syllables. The senryu is generally about
an emotional expression.
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
Our day has finally come
the day that we became one
I waited All my life to see your face
and the day we met was nothing
but God's Amazing Grace
I searched for you in every crowd
as I yelled your name out loud
I searched for you in the stars above
I knew only you could have my love
I searched for you
In the moon and the sun
I knew Dewayne you were the only one
Knowing when I saw your face
I had to be in the right place
When I laid my eyes on you
My life became brand new
Though we have no expectations
we're committed to our love
as we stand upon life's altar
be for the Lord above
O blend us Lord together
'neath the heaven's and sun
each heart unto the other
'till we become as one
And in thy Mighty Power Lord
set angels 'round about
to seal our love forever
and to keep the world without
Then across the mighty heavens write
for all the world to see
all you have placed within our hearts
a loves that comes from thee

ALONG LIFES WAY
TWO AS ONE
ONE LIFE FROM TWO
A SPECAIL DREAM
OF LOVE COME TRUE
TWO HEARTS UNITED

Overview
A wedding day is both a public gathering and a deeply personal turning point. In poetry, it offers more than a backdrop of flowers, music, clothing, and ceremony; it holds small, vivid moments that reveal what commitment feels like. A poem might notice hands meeting, a breath before speaking, the faces of friends, or the quiet after the celebration. These details can honor the couple without making their story sound generic.
Wedding-day poems may be joyful, reflective, playful, or gently solemn. They can welcome guests, celebrate two lives choosing a shared direction, remember absent loved ones, or preserve a moment the couple wants to carry forward. The strongest writing usually speaks in a voice that suits the relationship. Whether read during the ceremony, printed in a program, or given privately, a thoughtful poem can make the day feel seen in language.
Meaning and Symbolism
The wedding day often symbolizes a threshold: life before the ceremony remains part of each person, while a shared future begins to take clearer shape. Images of doors, paths, circles, morning light, joined hands, or changing seasons can express this movement without forcing a single interpretation.
Its meaning may also come from witnesses. Family and friends gather not only to observe, but to affirm care, continuity, and community around the couple. Because weddings differ across cultures, faiths, and personal choices, symbolism should arise from the people being celebrated. A simple exchanged promise, a familiar song, or even a private joke may carry more truth than a grand universal image.
Wedding Poem Writing Ideas
- Begin with one precise moment. Describe the pause before the ceremony, the first exchanged glance, or the sound of guests settling into place.
- Follow the day through the senses. Use details of light, music, fabric, weather, food, or touch to make the setting immediate.
- Build around a promise. Explore what choosing, listening, forgiving, and growing together might look like in everyday life.
- Include the gathered community. Acknowledge the people who shaped the couple, those present, and anyone lovingly remembered.
- Let personality guide the tone. Use warmth, humor, restraint, or wonder according to the couple rather than relying on formal romantic language.
- End beyond the celebration. Shift from the wedding day toward an ordinary future of shared mornings, decisions, journeys, and home.
Sample Wedding Poem Lines
Today, your two names learn the rhythm of one promise.
In the hush before speaking, your joined hands say enough.
May this bright gathering become a lamp for quieter days.
You step from this hour carrying both memory and possibility.
Around you, every familiar face becomes part of the blessing.
