Wedding Forum - Share poems and readings here!...

Love the Poem to the parents and I will be using this in some way.. I balled my eyes out, thanks so much for sharing

That's really lovely :)

I love the honeymoon moneys one :o) We haven't really thought about the readings we want yet :o/

The vows my OH and I plan to say,

I take you to be my best friend,
my faithful partner and my one true love.
I promise to encourage you & inspire you
and to love you truly through good times and bad.
I will forever be there to laugh with you,
to lift you up when you are down
and to love you unconditionally
through all of our adventures in life together.

crying my eyes out reading these! they are beautiful! xxx

This is one I found earlier in a list from our local registry office, its brilliant haha! Not sure I'd like to read that out loud in front of our our family and friends mind, but I love it.

Yes I’ll marry you, my dear,
And here’s the reason why,
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,

And I we hear a knocking
And its creepy and it’s late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.

Yes I’ll marry you, my dear
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble drier goes,
It’s you that has to mend it.
You have to face the neighbour
Should the dog attack him
And if a drunkard bothers me
It’s you that has to whack him.

Yes I’ll marry you
You’re healthy and you’re lean
My house is like a pig sty
So you can help to keep it clean.
That lovely little dinner
Which you served by candlelight
As I prefer to cook Pizzas
You can cook it every night.

Its you who has to work the drill
And put up the curtain track
And when I’m feeling angry,
Its you that get’s the flack.
I do see many advantages
But none of them for you
So before you see the light,
“I do, I do, I do, !”

April that is brilliant. Just read it out to H2B... his answer... "Hmmm... Yup"

Victoria - mine rolled his eyes and said the same!

I LOVE that Rachel!

Thats so cute Rachel, think I will have to steal that.

Ha ha tell me about it spent so much on presents already !
Found some mini lint rollers on am@zon though and they are amazing!

I found lots of honeymoon fund poems but wasn't sure which to use, so I picked 3 and merged them,

Most importantly, we request, you come to our Wedding.
To share with us our special day, and have some fun along the way.

We've lived together quite a while with all our pots and pans,
And as we don't need homely gifts we've got another plan!

Our house is full of all the things a couple could require,
And so a holiday away is what we most desire.

We know it's not traditional but an awful lot more fun,
To have items on our wedding list to help us catch some sun!

Don't go out shopping or get yourselves stressed,
Don't bankrupt yourselves, just because you're our guest.

If you want to be generous, despite what we've said,
Then save all the hassle and do this instead.....

So if you'd like to give a gift and send us on our way
A donation to our honeymoon would really make our day!!

Then while we're relaxing on the beach, or by the pool so blue
We'll sit back and know that this is truly thanks to you!

:)

So my sister just got engaged... Here's some engagement poems:

Once upon a time you met
And shared much love and laughter
May your Engagement continue the fairy tale
Happy Ever After

A fairytale has just begun in the most perfect way,
Down on one knee a ring was given, "YES" did the lady say,
But this is not a dream you're in, this is love that's true,
Now all await with eagerness the day you'll say "I do!"

here are some poems ive gotten off this forum and the google over the last year :)

Hope they might be of some use to other missies :hug2

Flipflop poem

You may look at this basket,
and wonder what it's for.
It's full of comfy slippers
to aid you on the dance floor.
For if you're like me
and can't handle the heels
take a pair of these
and enjoy how good it feels!

Mass booklet cover verse.
Thank you for coming to share our special day with us,
And for helping to create some beautiful memories to last a life time,
Love,
Bride & groom


Thank you for coming to share our special day with us,

Love,
Bride & groom



'We would like to thank you for sharing this day with us and we look forward to your continued friendship throughout our married life.

We would especially like to thank our parents for all their love and support throughout the years.'



Prayer of faithful
For those who may feel lost or alone,
who are unfortunate enough to not have a home.
for those who have been affected by the recession,
for those who are sick, down and blue.
we take a moment to pray for you.


Thank you we had this quote on the inside of our wedding book it's from my favourite movie the notebook.

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul
and makes us reach for more,
that plants a fire in our hearts
and brings peace to our minds,
and that's what you've given me
(The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks)


Poem for bm.....
here's a miracle of friendship
that dwells within the heart
and you don't know how it happens
or where it gets to start
but the happiness it brings you
always brings a special lift
and you realise that friendship
is life's most precious gift


How lucky to have a flower girl,
who's so cute in every way.
Someone who knows how to walk down the aisle,
and steal everyones's heart away.
As our Niece you will always be special,
we love you more than words can say.
So thank you for being out Flower Girl
on this our wedding day.

To My Bridemaid
This poem is a gift to say
How dear you are to me,
And offer you my heartfelt thanks
For being there for me.

When I am walking down the aisle
A very happy bride,
Please know it means so much to me
To have you by my side.

So, do not think that things will change
Because I'll be a wife.
You'll always hold a special place
Of honour in my life.






My Bridesmaid
And My Friend

Today I wed the one I love,
And life won't be the same.
But still I know you're there for me
If I should call your name.

You've been the best friend you could be
And always shown you cared.
And I will treasure evermore
Adventures we have shared.

I'm thankful I can count on you,
For all the things you do.
And I'm so glad that I can say,
I have a friend like you.

We know not what the future holds,
And we may have to part.
But you will always be with me,
Forever in my heart.

To My Bridesmaid

I chose you as my bridesmaid
To share my Wedding Day
You've been just like a sister
A friend in every way.

When I look through the pictures
Of My Wedding Day to see
There's no one else I'd rather have
Standing there with me.


Hope this are of some use to you.
Best of luck and a fab Idea i must say!!!

To My
Parents
on my wedding day

It's hard to find the right words to tell you how I feel.
I want to deeply thank you for all you've done for me.
But "thank you" only begins to say what's in my heart today.
I sometimes took for granted your guidance and caring ways.
The sacrifices made for me may have seemed to go unnoticed.
But, as I start a new chapter in my life,
I want you to know that your love and support
are among my most cherished memories.

Love,
Bride & Grooms names and wedding date.

Poem for mother in law
You are the mother I received the day I wed your son. And I just want to thank you,for all the things you’ve done. You have given me a gracious man with whom I share my life. You are his lovely mother and I his lucky wife. You used to pat his little head and now I hold his hand. You raised in love a little boy and gave to me a man.
Love(your name)





To my In-Laws

You are the parents I received the day I wed your son. And I just want to thank you both , for all the things you’ve done. You have given me a gracious man with whom I share my life. You are his lovely parents and I his lucky wife. You used to pat his little head and now I hold his hand. You raised in love a little boy and gave to me a man.

"To our Parents”


Life will start afresh for
Upon my wedding day
But before it starts
Dear Mum and Dad
I want so much to say
How gratefully I appreciate
The things you have done for me
Always I’ll remember in
The years that are to be
A happy home you have given me
And other blessings too
Love and help and kindness
Much I owe to you
So as I stand upon the threshold
Of a life about to start
I want to say
I love you
God bless you
And thank you from my heart.


MUM

Through the years you’ve been there
For all my ups and downs
From friendships, boys and homework
To finding wedding gowns

I want so much to thank you
For all you’ve given me
Your care and love and wisdom
And the lasting memories

For even though i’m now grown up
Dressed in silk and pearls
Remember this my wedding day
I’m still still your little girl...



My Walk With Dad

When I was small and we would walk,
I held your big, strong hand.
And when life brought me trials and tears,
You said, “I understand.”

And now you walk me down the aisle
To meet another man.
Yet no one loves a little girl
The way her daddy can.

I’ve found someone to share my life
And know that you are glad.
And yet a part of both of us
May be a little sad.

For even when I’m old and gray
Your little girl I’ll be.
No matter where I go in life,
Your love will go with me.

As i place my hand in yours
And look into your eyes
I give you all my love
My best and my worst sides
I give you all my happiness
And all the tears I'll cry
I'll give you everything i can
And when I can't I'll try
I hope that in return
You'll do the same for me
For this is the day we pledge our love
For all eternity.


Dad

Since I was just a little girl
I'd always count on you
For comfort, love and kind support
That's faithful and that's true
And now that I am all grown up
About to be a bride
I'll have you walk me down the aisle
And lean on you with pride
But let me first say thank you, Dad
For all that you have done
Dear Daddy, you're the reason I'm
The woman I've become
And, though I'll start a brand new life
One thing is surely true
There's nothing that could ever change
My special love for you.

It's the parent ones that did me in!! xx

These I Can Promise

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise you riches, wealth or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway That leads away from change or growing old.
But I can promise all my heart’s devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow.
A love that’s true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in your’s through each tomorrow.
Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)

Chapter one of 1000

For two people this dawn brought on a magical day 
Now husband and wife they head on their way 
As a boat setting sail may their journey begin 
With calmest of waters, most helpful of wind 
And if they should stumble upon turbulent sea 
May it pass them unharming - leave them be. 

For here are two people whom love has well bitten 
Here opens their book which has yet to be written 
As the first page unfolds and their life inks its path 
May it write a true story where forever love lasts 
Let their journey be happy till death do they part 
Of one thousand chapters may this be the start.

^^^ Love that one Charlie.

I think it was specially written for the ad (could be wrong) but I love the sentiment about enjoying the moment.
