Love is like an eternal flame,  

once it is lit, it will continue to burn for all time. 

Love bears all things, 

believes all things, 

hopes all things, 

endures all things. 

A life of sharing, caring 

A love of endless giving together. 

Two souls with but a single thought, 

two hearts that beat as one. 

There is only one happiness in life, 

to love and be loved. 

I love you not only for what you are, 

but for what I am when I am with you 

A new day 

A new life 

Together 

Two lives, two hearts 

Joined together in friendship 

United forever in Love 

You are: 

The smile on my face 

The beat in my heart 

The light of my day 

The dark of my night 

You are: 

The dreams I dream 

The passion I possess 

The soul I adore 

The one I love 

You bring into my life 

a sense of oneness, 

shared by two. 

When I think of my love for you, 

it can only be compared to the 

greatest feelings of love in the world 

And that is God’s Love. 

A Dove of Love has touched my Heart 

Sprinkling purity each day that I start 

Faith, Hope and Love is the way I shall be 

Forever yours eternally 

You are my best friend and soul mate 

May the Love that we have for each other 

Last forever in our hearts and soul. 

My love I do give to you, 

more than words can explain. 

That's why I thank the Lord for you, 

each and everyday! 

For on this day and every day after, 

I plan to fill your heart with love and laughter. 

Just for you 

I give my heart 

For years to come 

'Til death do us part 

 My gift to you is my love    

Given from deep within my heart 

It is the best I have to offer 

And it's yours until this earth we depart 

In all my life 

I have never known 

someone like you who 

makes me feel so complete 

in everyway..... 

Two lives, two hearts 

Joined together in Love. 

Whoever lives in love 

Lives in God… 

I John 4:16 

This day I will marry my best friend, 

The one I laugh with, 

Live for, dream with and love 

Love knows no limit to its endurance 

no end to its trust, 

Love still stands when all else has fallen. 

1 Corinthians 13:7-8 

I love you not only for what you are, 

but for what I am when I am with you. 

I love you today 

As I have from the start, 

And I'll love you forever 

With all of my heart. 

I do believe that God above, 

Created you for me to love. 

He chose you from all the rest, 

Because he knew I would love you the best. 

You are the one 

who makes me whole. 

You've captured my heart 

and touched my soul. 

You are the one 

that stepped out of my dreams, 

gave me new hope and 

showed me what love means. 

You alone are my reason to live 

for the compassion you show 

and the care that you give. 

You came into my life 

and made me complete. 

Each time I see you 

my heart skips a beat. 

You are the one 

God sent from above 

The angel I needed 

For whom I do love 

All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart, 

And for us to be together, to never be apart. 

No one else in the world can even compare, 

You're perfect and so is this love that we share. 

We have so much more than I ever thought we would, 

I love you more than I ever thought I could. 

I promise to give you all I have to give, 

I'll do anything for you as long as I live. 

In your eyes I see our present,  

our future and past. 

By the way you look at me, 

 I know we will last. 

I hope that one day  

you'll come to realize, 

how perfect you are  

when seen through my eyes. 

I asked God for a flower, he gave me a bouquet 

I asked God for a minute, he gave me a day 

I asked God for true love, he gave me that too 

I asked for an angel and he gave me you. 

Forever is what I want with you 

For the search is at an end 

Our hearts have found each other 

As lovers, as soul mates, as friends. 

Our lives entwined to be as one, 

Upon this journey we’ve just begun. 

Where you and I will find no less, 

Than eternal love and happiness. 

The Meaning of Love 

Love is patient, Love is kind. 

It does not envy, It does not boast, 

It is not proud, It is not rude, 

It is not self-seeking, 

It is not easily angered, 

It keeps no record of wrongs. 

Love does not delight in evil 

But rejoices with the truth. 

It always protects, always trusts, 

Always hopes, always perseveres. 

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 

Across the years 

I will walk with you, 

in deep green forests 

on shores of sand. 

And when our time 

on earth is through, 

in heaven too, 

you will have my hand. 

As You Marry 

On this your wedding day 

May angels smile upon you 

For a single heart now beats 

Where once there had been two 

The Lord has brought you to this day 

Through all of life's confusions 

To come full circle all the way 

To bless your wedded union 

May your days be filled with laughter 

And your nights be filled with peace 

As you grow old together 

Sharing happiness and ease 

For a man shall be a woman's heart 

And a woman be a man's 

Til the oceans cease to flow 

And deserts lose their sands  

I am marrying my best friend 

in the whole world- 

and I know that means 

ours is a love that will last. 

It means that we will continue 

to look for ways 

to keep romance alive 

and for ways to grow together. 

It means that we will share 

all the hopes and dreams 

in our hearts, 

hold closely to each other 

in times of trouble, 

and accept each other 

as full and equal partners. 

I look forward to sharing life 

with the one I love... 

my best friend. 

We were three hearts seeking love 

We were three hearts praying 

Today we are three hearts united 

We are one hope, one joy, one family.
