    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 they'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 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

    This is the one im using in my civil ceremony - i think its quite cute xxx

    Happily Married! :) xxx

    Love is a temporary madness,
    it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.
    And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
    You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together
    that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
    Because this is what love is.
    Love is not breathlessness,
    it is not excitement,
    it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
    That is just being "in love" which any fool can do.
    Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
    and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
    Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,
    and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,
    they find that they are one tree and not two.

    this is mine

    I FOUND IT!!!!
    from this day forward
    to have and to hold,
    to face life together
    to know joys untold,
    a shoulder to cry on
    when your feeling low,
    someone beside you
    whereever you go,,,,
    sharing and caring
    to cherish and love
    a life that will bring
    all your dreaming of

    i cant stand soppy poems so think we are going for this-

    Wedding Day by Robert Palmer

    The day of your wedding is a time to reflect
    On the things you can hope for
    And the things to expect

    You could hope for great riches
    Huge bundles of cash
    But then lose it all
    In a stock market crash

    Or you could hope for
    A life of great ease
    With the time and the money
    To do as you please

    But its better to hope for
    The good things in life
    Like a lon happy life
    As husband and wife

    Like the smile and the kiss
    As you walk through the door
    And the baby that wakes you at quater to 4

    And a life of variety
    With sunshine and rain
    And frosties for breakfast instead of champagne

    Expect times of anger
    The occaisonal huff
    Because no one annoys you
    Like the one that you love

    But dont look for problems
    That the future may bring
    Just to love and be loved
    Is a wonderful thing

    Lifes not all plain sailing
    Not always a ball
    But I know you'll be happy
    Because love conquers all
