Today is the day you have both been planning for quite some time,
Looking to create something special, something unique and incredibly fine.
A day to remember as the weeks turn to years,
As together you sail the ocean of life, holding each other dear.
The promises you make are the foundations on which you build,
A marriage in which only to each other you must yield.
For your union is to be protected with loyalty, openness and above all else love,
So it may be showered with happiness, peace and blessings from above.
As you stand here and make your vows take in each word you say,
For the promises you make are for a lifetime, not just a day.
There will be times when it feels those vows are all that hold you together,
But even when things are tough, they bring with them promises of finer weather.
Take pauses throughout this day to capture its moments in your hearts,
Savour the smiles, the comments, well wishes and many laughs.
For this day will pass quickly and if not careful moments to your memories you will not add,
So stop, watch, remember, enjoy and be glad.
Enjoy this day as friends and family revel in the joy you share,
And by being here show just how much they care.
For to each, you are both special and deserve only the best,
So a heartfelt promise of support and love is sent to you both by every guest.
