The Wedding Vow – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Cherished are the memories that Brought us to this day, For yesterday, was just a “dream” ... A “wish” to contemplate. A fantasy where in my mind, A fleeting glimpse I’d see ... A vision of the true desires I longed for endlessly. And when I dreamed, I did not know The love I’d feel today; The height of my true feelings, And the depths they would portray. And if I had one wish today, A simple wish t’would be ... Is that the love we feel this moment, Lasts eternally. Reality has merged now As you stand here by my side; And as I join your hand in mine, My heart does fill with pride. For as I pledge my love to you, I see in many ways, Reflections of my love for you Are mirrored in your gaze. And by our presence here today, And for the love we share, I thank you for our yesterdays That brought us to be here. But more than this, I vow to you, My wishes yet to come ... Tomorrow’s dreams and fantasies, This day that we are one. Tomorrow’s an adventure That we’ll share together now; Our future’s intertwined forever, Through this holy vow. I promise to remember In the future years and days, The love I feel for you this moment ... Dreams fulfilled today. For in the coming years as we Move on, and reminisce, Back to the day I stood with you And promised with a kiss ... That blessed are the days that I have looked into your eyes, And felt the warmth and love reflect, The essence of our lives. ***** “Yesterday” we dreamed of what might be; “Today” we validate our love; And “tomorrow” we will cherish the life we have shared as one. /Kit McCallum |

Kit..this is very beautiful...last summer I attended a cousins wedding and wrote one for them after the day as a present and reminder for them...Maureen We Walked The Path ~~ One field of green one tall of rye the sweetened air the bluest sky we walked the path and crossed a stream beyond the trees passed hidden dreams ~~ and came upon a wonderous sight a tented scene of futures bright of loving thoughts towards memories, new inviting all, to join in too ~~ words of 'cherish,' 'love abide' 'enduring all' the sounds of ~~sighs birds were singing softly now the two that loved professed their vow ~~ to honor, love, forever BE not two but one ... he kissed her... he and then message heard to all, were there came drifting towards us as enlightened air ~~ keeping faith, can help move mountains having hope, keeps spirits bright but having love and sharing all come each morn, throughout the night ~~ three of which we understand of faith and hope from up above words today we took part in the greatest of these three... is love. ~~ M 6.19.99 |

I think this one should be where all can be reminded. Once in a while I should look at it just to remind myself..... *sigh* |

Kit, I really think this is one of your best. It's too bad so many people don't take weddings and marriages seriously anymore. I'm glad to see that not everyone feels that way. Great work here. Elizabeth Why ME??? |
