Marry me today

and bathe this moment

in golden hope

 

promise that you

cannot live without me

just as my heart

knows this truth

for me

 

light our unity candle

with your adoring gaze

 

let us embrace

exchanging whispers

as we sway to a song

that only we hear

 

and when we’re apart

walk through your day

wistfully aware

that you are incomplete

 

and meet me

back here at this spot

and speed my pulse

and gladden my soul

 

just say yes

and forever starts right here

 

marry me today

and everyday.

If it wasn't for you it would have never occured to me that Christian is a verb, and now with this, it occurs to me (again thanks to you) that marriage is like that too -it's a verb. An action word. Something that in reality happens every day.

I'm going to send this to my wife because you've captured beautifully how I feel about our marriage.

Great point, mate.  Action, for a lot of people, is work they don't want to do.  But it is so worth it.

This is beautiful!  It's definitely worth repeating right before or during a ceremony!
