With that wedding day kiss,
a symbol of faith, respect and love for each other so astonishing;
the swapping of souls that two experience upon marriage.
An end to the wait filled with thoughts of disparage.
One solemn moment to all those witnessing that special day.
Truly alive again from the moment I knew you were here to stay.
We have become partners,
I have become yours, you have become mine.
Two filled with sorrow, now have bright tomorrows.
Life's time no longer filled with sadness,
we two now hand in hand.
Word and meaning united, life's love passion ignited.
Days and nights honey-sweet;
my heart your shelter, my arms your home;
sweet taste of love's wine.
I cannot promise you a complete life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches and gold.
But I can promise all my heart's love and devotion,
compassion and safe emotion,
love ever knowing;
a smile to chase away tears of sorrow,
a love that is true and ever growing,
a hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow...
On that special day when it is said, "You may kiss the bride."

Wow, what a romantic poem for such a romantic day. Every bride lives for this big day and she would be thrilled if her groom could share a poem like this with her. My two most favorite lines are, "Truly alive again from the moment I knew you were here to stay" and "my heart your shelter, my arms your shelter." A very lovely poem indeed.
