Sample Wording: To My Parents As I Wed

With much joy
and thanksgiving
do I greet you today,
Knowing your love
and support are
what have set me on my way

Everything I am, what good I've done
are from values you've taught
The best guidance I could ever get was
from the advice from you I've sought

Thank you for being there all my life
I hope you'll always know
That forever I am grateful and
I'll always love you so.

We thank you

And prayers for our new life

For you are truly someone
That we really look up to

Sample Wording: Couple

-Name of Couple (bigger font, bold)-

Marriage...
Is having someone
To share your
dreams with.
Someone to live
your life with.
Someone to walk
and talk with through the years...
Someone you can turn to,
Someone you can run to,
Someone so close you taste
each other's tears...
Someone who'll stand beside you,
Someone whose hand will guide you
Through good or bad times,
happiness or sorrow...
A life of love together,
A love that spans forever,
A bridge across today
to God's tomorrow.

Sample Wording: Couple 2

-Name of Couple (bigger font, bold)-

I love you
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
when I am with you

I love you
Not only for
what you have made of yourself
But for what you are making of me

I love you
For putting your hand into my heaped-up-heart
And passing over all the foolish weak things
that you can't help dimly seeing there
And drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings
that no one else had looked quite far
enough to find

I love you
Because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern but a temple of my life
Of my everyday, not a reproach but a song.

I love you
Because you have done more than
any creed could have done
To make me feel my goodness

I love you, for the part of me that you bring out...
You have done it,
With your touch, with your words,
With yourself.

All my Love, -Name-
-Date-
