Here is a beautiful poem written for a wedding we covered.
We
thought it was so touching, we asked permission to share it here with
you.
IN THIS ROOM
All this talk of forever misses the point,
And whoever dreamed it up clearly never knew you,
Or this next sweet moment.
I choose a fabric of seconds, not years.
Let the years weave and worry about themselves.
I prefer you, and your laughter,
and the laughter of your children, my children.
If you smile now, love can go and define itself.
If you touch my arm now,
I will never doubt.
The story of our meeting is for other people;
The audience applauds and disbands.
I claim the next few seconds for us alone.
We two, in this room. ~Scott Martin |

These are the most
incredible vows we have ever heard at a wedding ... feel free to use
these in your wedding to enhance the emotion of the ceremony and the
day. These vows are yours to use if you book a wedding with us.
| BRIDE'S
VOWS:
Groom,
please face Bride, hold her palms up, so you may see the
gift they are to you.
These are the
hands that hold yours on your wedding day as she gives you her pledge
to love you and accepts your ring. |

These are the hands
that are smooth and young and carefree now, but will be lined and rougher,
working to make you comfortable.
These are the hands
that will hold each child in tender love, soothing them through illness,
disciplining them when naughty, and wringing themselves in worry when
trouble comes.
These are the hands
that will hold your face and wipe tears from your eyes - in wonder and
awe that you would cry for her.
These are the hands
that will hold you in joy, excitement and hope each time she tells you
that you are to have another child; that together you have created new
life.
These are the hands
that through the years will caress your body in the passion of love, to
enhance your intimacy.
GROOM'S VOWS:
Bride, please turn
and face Groom, and hold his hands palms up, where you can see the gift
that they are to you.
These are the hands,
young and strong and vibrant with love, that hold yours on your wedding
day, as he promises to love you all the days of his life.
These are the hands
you will place with expectant joy against your stomach until he too, feels
his child stir within you.
These are the hands
that look so large and clumsy, yet will be so gentle as he holds your
baby for the first time.
These are the hands
that will work long hours to earn money for you and your family.
These are the hands
that will be nicked and bruised from fixing things around the house to
make you more comfortable.
These are the hands
that will caress your body through the years, to make the passion of love
come alive in you.
These are the hands
that will countless times wipe tears from your eyes; tears of sorrow and
tears of joy.
These are the hands
that will comfort you in illness, and hold you when fear or grief weigh
on your mind.
These are the hands
that will tenderly lift your chin and brush your cheek as they raise your
face to look into his eyes; eyes that are filled completely with his overwhelming
love and desire for you.
These are the hands
that will enter the Sacrament of Matrimony. These four hands will be your
armor and shield against the evils and temptations of the world.
These are the hands
that will reach out, first to each other, then united, will spread your
love and your sacrament to all they touch.
These are the hands
that will ease your parents' loneliness as you leave the nest, will first
teach your own children the marvels of married life, and will be a sign
to friends and strangers alike as to just how wonderful married life can
be.
