On Your Wedding Day
Today is a day you will always remember
the greatest in anyone’s life.
You’ll start off the day just two people in love
and end it as husband and wife.
It’s a brand new beginning, the start of a journey,
with moments to cherish and treasure.
And although there’ll be times when you both disagree,
these will surely be outweighed by pleasure.
You’ll have heard many words of advice in the past,
when the secrets of marriage were spoken,
but now you know that the answers lie hidden inside,
where the bond of true love lies unbroken.
So live happy forever as lovers and friends,
it’s the dawn of a new life for you,
as you stand there together with love in your eyes
from the moment you whisper, “I do”.
And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real,
may success find its way to your hearts.
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys,
but today is the day it all starts.
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
…………….Alfred Lord Tennyson
Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as man can breath, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
…………………William Shakespeare
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep;
The more I give to thee
The more I have,
For both are infinite.
…………….William Shakespeare
Love is an act of endless forgiveness
A tender look which becomes a habit.
…………….Peter Ustinov
Let the world stop turning,
Let the sun stop burning,
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart,
The only dream that mattered had come true
...In this life I was loved by you.
…………………Bette Midler
Love is a fruit in season at all times,
and within the reach of every hand.
……………….Mother Teresa
It is the things in common
that make relationships enjoyable,
but it is the little differences
that make them interesting.
………………Todd Ruthman
What we need to know about loving is no great mystery.
We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but
act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often
confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight.
We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and
examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated.
………………Leo Buscaglia
A heart that loves is always young.
…………….A Greek Proverb
But true love is a durable fire,
In the mind ever burning,
Never sick, never old, never dead,
From itself never turning.
…………Sir Walter Raleigh
A part of you has grown in me.
And so you see, it's you and me
Together forever and never apart,
Maybe in distance, but never in heart.
………………..Anonymous
True poets don't write
Their thoughts with a pen...
They release the ink that flows
From within their heart.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never ever the same.
…………………..Flavia Weed
Other men said they have seen angels,
But I have seen thee
And thou art enough.
………………..G. Moore
The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
…………….G. K. Chesterton
Love doesn't sit there like a stone.
It has to be made like bread;
Remade all the time,
...Made new.
……………Le Guin
Love Rules The Court
Love rules the court,
The camp, the grove,
And men below, and the saints above,
For love is heaven
and heaven is love.
…………Sir Walter Scott
I Promise
.....Dorothy R. Colgan
I promise to give you the best of myself
and to ask of you no more than you can give.
I promise to respect you as your own person
and to realize that your interests, desires and needs
are no less important than my own.
I promise to share with you my time and my attention
and to bring joy, strength and imagination to our relationship.
I promise to keep myself open to you,
to let you see through the window of my world
into my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.
I promise to grow along with you,
to be willing to face changes in order to keep
our relationship alive and exciting.
I promise to love you in good times and bad,
with all I have to give and all I feel inside
in the only way I know how,
completely and forever.
Age does not protect us from love,
But love to some extent protects us from age.
………….Anonymous
When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.
……………Mark Twain
Love puts the fun in together,
The sad in apart,
The hope in tomorrow,
The joy in the heart.
……………Anonymous
What the heart gives away is never gone ...
It is kept in the hearts of others.
……………..Robin St. John
You may only be one person to the world
But you may also be the world to one person.
……………..Anonymous
There is no remedy for love than to love more.
……….Henry David Thoreau
