Love is a secret . . . Keep it
Love is a rose . . . Grow with it
Love is a mystery . . . Unfold it
Love is an adventure . . . Chance it
Love is beauty . . . Pamper it
Love is a song . . . Sing it
Love is a struggle . . . Deal with it
Love is sorrowful . . . Mourn with it
Love is a book . . . Renew it
Love is a fire inside . . . Never let it die

weddingday,
The day has finally come
that was long awaited
Time for Linda-Marie and Ron
to join their lives as one
A beautiful day of celebration
ushering in the union of
two people with so much love
transcending all the ages
A special time to give thanks
for what will be given
As you share your life together
united as a couple
Forever until……..

Away from Rome they drive two-hundred miles
Calabria is their destination.
A wedding at the villa; they’re all smiles!
It’s a time for joyous celebration.
On August twenty-second, guests shall see
a lady fair with her own “honey-poo,”
the union of two soul mates meant to be!
My wish is that their love stay strong and true.

Happily-Ever-After
Joys by the ocean share nature’s array.
Hopes joined forever on their wedding day.
Love, anticipation, together reached
Everlastingly seen like sands and beach.
The beautiful bride and her loving groom
Walk hand in hand; embrace their new life’s bloom.
Families assembled beneath God’s sun.
Happily-Ever-After has begun.

marriage,
Merging of hearts, solemnized as one
Cruising darts, piloted by the Almighty One
Scents of Chrysanthemum, crowned in leis
Glade of momentum, sweeping for deis
As you renew your vows
There are no buts or hows
Cling to each other without noise
Sing for each other with poise
As years go by, love will grow more
Teach yourselves to be meek
With trusting reliance to seek
Love will never appear short or small
In God's name nothing will fall
when both of you stand tall

wedding
Standing in front upright
Everything feels just so right
He pulls his tie a little skew
As the guests settle in the pew
He gaze across the room
The best man has to settle the unsettled groom
It’s hard to believe he is always so cool
Probably worried he will make himself a fool
In walks the woman who mended his broken heart,
Friends before they discovered they could not live apart
He only have eyes for his wife to be
Her eyes are focused on her husband to be
He gently takes her hand
As they listened to the band
The rings a symbol of their love
The circle unending a sign from the blessings up above…

wedding,
She was lovelier than any bride the church had ever blessed.
A beauty in love with a pure heart.
Her groom was handsome, standing tall and delighted.
The whole church lit up when they saw her walking down the aisle.
Heads swiveled watching him watch his bride.
It was a fantastic match; they had grown up together in the church.
There was no his side and her side, only their side.
The empaths heard harp music as they met at the altar.
Recognizing a heavenly union.
Most of us had never witnessed such a pairing before
or since.

Love
Innocence surrounded new love at dreams first meeting.
Together, two young hearts played, wildly beating.
Prayers hoped forever would settle upon true love.
At the tingles of newness, faith turned to God above.
Years passed and your friendship grew stronger.
Differences and directions did not matter any longer.
Together, walking one path with faithfulness by your side.
In love, two became one, a man and his bride.
From that day forward know, love, honor and cherish.
Communicating with kindness preventing loves perish.
The brightest of dreams become reality.
Go forth, kind souls; find loves, tranquility.

If you could look into my mind,
you would readily see,
How much I really love you and
just what you mean to me.
I can see in my mind’s eye
the portrait of your face,
Which no artist could recreate
and time could not erase.
So with each passing of the day,
and coming of the night,
I remember when we were together,
and the arms that held me tight.
Although I have no great offer
like frankincense or myrrh,
You have my love and devotion –
of this you are assured.
No matter what time is given to us -
or what trials life should ensue,
Just remember from this poem,
the mere words – “I Love You!”

anniversary, devotion, love, love,
Five years today we were joined to together
in holy union.
In the eyes of God we became one.You as my
bride with me by your side;so lovely and
precious most beautiful than the world.
We pledged our love in the vows we shared;
To be together in love forever till death
do us part.
My love is high I cannot attain to it!
Higher than the highest of all yet- deeper
than the depths of any sea
Wide is the sky,still my love goes beyond
that and reaches farther on.So my Dear-
with all of this I dedicate this day to you.
Happy Anniversary from the one who loves you,
Me.

The Marriage One Spring
Carriage was white and horses dapple-gray.
Dreamy, like a fairytale, true love that day.
Sparkling eyes lit up the dressing room
Hidden away from the guests and bridegroom.
Time had arrived; music began to play.
The Wedding March.” rang on that special day,
Strikingly posh was the most gorgeous gown.
Gleaming with love the bride slowly walked down.
The bridegroom, smiling, would make vows for life
There at the church, the bride became his wife.
Lovers together kissed wearing their rings.
Then, rode to forever, love, one warm spring.

husband, wedding, wife, love, i love you,
I never thought I'd fall in love
Or find the one that I've been dreaming of
But here you are, you've come into my life
You are everything in the world to me
You are my days and you are my nights
I wish I knew what I did to deserve you
There's no one on this earth that I'd put above you
You are the one that I love dearly
I know that honestly and say it so clearly
I want you with me for the rest of my life
I want us to be husband and wife
Together we'll share all of our hopes and dreams
Being with you is what happiness means
Sweetheart I love you now and forever
Our hearts as one, we belong together

Roses grow as GOD has said,
they bloom as He commands.
He lovingly touches each of them
each pedal to unfold;
Never does He break away
a pedal that He does not renew,
but gently takes it to renew it
when it's time to go.
Roses are GOD'S creation;
A Witness!

Today is the day we join in life and love.
To love, honor, respect, each other forever.
As we live in this life, and in Heaven above.
God bonds us together today and forever.
We join in union together in heart as one.
Our minds intertwined not put aside by any.
We share this day with all who live in Heaven.
For those who have gone on their path, before us.
Let Angels ring the bells, which sound in Heaven.
Sending a message to all we are one, together.
Our love we pledge between us everlastingly.
Through turmoil, adversity our love will grow.
Along with all our happiness, that God will show.

Never alone in the middle of the night
(With me here for you feels like home)
Glare of a shadow in the absence of light
(By your side you’ll never be alone)
A faint distill in the air
(Smiling he falls down to one knee)
A hopeful turn and a distant stare
(Yes she replies with a tear full of glee)
(The miseries of marriage and the joys a new)
A roof over her head and a bed built for two
(Tiss a love story just begun)
And tiss a song and must be sung

Looming bells;
Celebrating marriage and love
Channelling flowers;
Overlooking for the bride;
From a distant you can smell her;
Aromatic like oracle flowers;
She walks softly and quietly;
Celebrating marriage and love
Flowers surround and hang surrounds them;
Bride to be and her groom;
Standing in a row the bride-man/groom alongside him his best man;
Flowers fold outside wedding blossoms claps;
Father of the bride sheds tears,
Celebrating marriage and love
He stumbles yet says something blew in his eyes;
As the organist plays here comes the bride...

Your heart is in my possession,
to show the heaven that my love
is so dear,even if the cloud is not clear,
I stand in this summer light
to let my true complexion exhibits
itself with rays of emotions_
that is true and eternal,
As the untrimmed branches of the
coconut tree dances ~dances to
this rhythm of romance and passion,
Oh!my bride, my gold I cherish you with pride ,
Under this shade of hope and love buds,
I profess my love in the presence of men,
As I lease my strength like a brave lion,
This temperate region shall bear witness ~this day.

A Cottage Wedding
Beneath the Live Oaks where life was serene,
Stood a cottage filled with beautiful dreams.
The groom stood ready; family views awake.
His wife-to-be gracefully quivered, quaked.
Never was there a more beautiful bride.
Glorious elegance, hope flamed inside.
Promises vowed; sweet cottage in the woods.
Fragrantly flowered with blooming dogwoods.
Imagined tomorrows began, arrayed.
Celebrating their future love portrayed.
Together, down life’s road they were heading.
Forever won at their cottage wedding.

As spring turned to summer
Nary a cloud marked the sky
As I looked at my maiden fair
I wiped a tear from my eye
As we stood before God at the alter
And made our vows, my love and I

We were made to see eye to eye
We were made to walk hand in hand
We were made to stand side by side
We were made to be woman and man
Here on earth under Heaven above
With two minds we both agree
With two hearts we have one love
And as one body we shall be
In the union of our covenant
As we grow as one forever
May God's will for us be evident
As we live and learn together
Let us dwell in pleasant unity
Clinging to God and each other
And his favor will join you and me
For we were made for one another
