More than mere words
It begins as a flash of brilliance,
It begins as a spark of fire,
A life-changing, unrivalled experience,
That’s the trigger for desire.
In a single moment, love clutches you,
And takes a hold of your soul,
A sensation that is long overdue,
Finally brings you in from the cold.
Your world is turned upside down,
Your perceptions of life are undone,
You relish the happiness you have found,
But so much more is to come.
The next step is a vow,
That will stand the test of time.
The words that are spoken now,
Declare their love sublime
This pledge is more than mere words,
It is a binding of their souls.
The power in the promises heard
Define the couple’s roles
[bride] and [groom] must look after each other,
And provide for their family
Living as a father and a mother.
Together in unity
The promises we have heard today,
At the start of their journey
For [bride] and [groom], this bond will stay,
For life, for eternity
do you read that at your cousins wedding?
