When my children were married they both paid me the huge compliment of asking me to write and read a poem during the ceremony.
My daughter and son-in-law both changed their names at the time of their marriage and so this gave an added dimension to the piece that I wrote for their special day.
A special kind of magic
A husband and a wife,
A hand to hold, an arm to fold
Support throughout a life.
A never ending symbol
Of lovers and of friends,
A golden band on either hand
A circle without end.
An end to being only
A partner through the years.
To take your side, to help and guide
And share in all your fears.
A name to wear together
To make the world aware
Of lives combined, of hearts entwined
Of two become a pair
My son and his bride had a wonderful traditional English Wedding with champagne on the Church Green and a horse drawn carriage to the reception but I wanted to acknowledge that the most important thing was the commitment they were making to each other.
Children of the Spirit
Locked in Love
Soul to soul connecting
Enfolded
Hearts now come together
one to one
Live enthralled in union
Committed
Taking roads together
hand in hand
Strong in one another
Supported
Living for each other
each to each
Always and forever
United.

Very sweet! How nice to be able to write & read this at your daughter’s wedding! I probably would have convulsed into a torrent of tears and not been able to speak a single word! 🙂
