Wedding Forum - Ladies any of you writting a bit of you...

No, just the poem for my speech.

Its a work in progress. Hopefully it will make people laugh.

i wud like to do summit like that but wud probly end up cryin and makin a rite knob of myself x

Were not writing our own as such but we are adding a bit.
Found this on a site:-

"________, I promise to be a good and faithful husband to you, and also a patient, loving father to (children's names), caring for them and providing for them as my own. I promise to be their strength and their emotional support, loving them with all my heart forever."

The children—now part of a loving blended family—can then repeat “We do" after these words:

"And now, (children's names), do you promise to love and respect your parent's new husband Do you promise to support their marriage and new family? Do you promise to accept the responsibility of being their children, and to encourage them and support them in your new life together?"


So we will be adding this to our vows, then h2b will give them a special necklace each which you can get also on the site when he gives me my ring :-)

(necklace on my profile, i think)

hails-that is lovely x

Its gonna be a surprise :-) No one knows except my best friend (and the h2b and kids of course) I think my mum and his will cry, if i dont first lol

I have found a really nice poem to go before the legal bit of my vows. And I am writing a poem for my speech just like you Dove.

Its:
I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for who I am when I am with you.
I love you
Not only for what you have made of yourself
But for what you are making of me
I love you
for the part of me that you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand into my heaped-up heart
and passing over all the foolish, weak things
that you can't help dimly seeing there,
and for drawing into the light
All the beautiful belongings
that no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you because you,
Are helping me to make
of the lumber of my life
not a tavern, but a temple;
Out of the works
of my everyday
not a reproach
but a song.
I love you
Because you have done
more than any creed could have done
to make me good
and more than any fate could have done to make me happy.
You have done it,
without a touch,
without a word,
without a sign.
You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.

I've just drafted my poem- anyone wanna see?

I may do a speech-unfortunately I have a vision of it in my head! It starts-"fank u for coming" in a very high pitched squeaky voice and then just deteriorates from there! Can't wait! lol

In the sixth year of our relationship
My pidgeon gave to me
THIS GOLDEN RING
Five hour journeys
To be with him forever
Three love letters from the Army
The gift of togetherness
And his friendship for eternity

This is the final verse I've written- I'm sure you can work out the first five.

im goint to write my own vows for when we renew them, its going to be in a poem, i alredy have it in my head and i really should write it down before i forget it! im doing a speech at the reception after it as well and i just know that im going to bawl my eyes out as im going to thank my grandad for giving me a wonderfull mother and im going to tell everyone that i learned everything i know about loving someone from him and my nanna who were together forever until she died. its gonna be sooooo hard!xx
