Me? Write Your Wedding Vows? Uh, Ok!

I was recently was asked by a woman at work to write her wedding vows.

I was stunned, hiding my surprise, I said yes.

I thought about it for four days or so. Writing it took about 45 minutes. I handed it to her at work.

When she read it, she started to cry, blurted out "perfect" and kept crying.

This was all because I took a chance and brought some of poetry to work for some of the ladies to read.

Let Them Read was my post I guess that started the ball rolling.

I was there for the wedding, feeling like a playwright waiting to hear the words I had written.

For better or worse (pun intended) here is what I came up with.

My first, my last, my everything

Words torn from a song

What can one say

When someone touches your heart and your very soul

My words are framed in ways

To show our shared emotions

Our lives are different from this moment on

Caring for one another

Our ups and downs

For better or worse

My soul mate

We are kindred spirits

Our movements locked in step

It is meant to be forever

Our hands reaching out for the other

To be there for me

And I for you

I will give you my all

To be loved once again

My gift to you and yours to me

Everything I have to make you happy

Affairs of the heart can not be wished for

Birds must sing in the same key

Bees making honey never sweeter

Sunrises seem to be perfect

Sunsets bring hope for more to come

Walks by the ocean. Two sets of prints

Leaving their mark

Our thoughts to be shared

Words not be spoken

I never gave up hope that sometime

Somewhere, you would enter my life

And share our lives together
