Writing Your Own Wedding Vows

I am not sure that Earth is round
Nor that the sky is really blue.
The tale of why the apples fall
May or may not be true.
I do not know what makes the tides
Nor what tomorrow's world may do,
But I have certainty enough,
For I am sure of you.
-Amelia Josephine Burr

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.
-Ben Jonson

...come the wild weather, come sleet or come snow, We will stand by each other, however it blow.

-Edgar Allan Poe

...Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
-William Shakespeare

Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book.
-John Donne

Our boat to the waves go free, By the bending tide, where the curled wave breaks, Like the track of the wind on the white snowflakes; Away, away! 'Tis a path o'er the sea.

Thou art the star that guides me Along life's changing sea; And whate'er fate betides me, This heart still turns to thee.

Now the rite is duly done, Now the word is spoken, And the spell has made us one Which may ne'er be broken.

My fellow, my companion, held most dear, My soul, my other self, my inward friend.
-Mary Sidney Herbert

Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, I here, though there, yet both but one.
-Anne Bradstreet

Each shining light above us Has its own peculiar grace; But every light of heaven Is in my darling's face.
-John Hay

Those worlds, for which the conqueror sighs, For me would have no charms: My only world thy gentle eyes -- My throne thy circling arms! Oh, yes, so well, so tenderly Thou'rt loved, adored by me, Whole realms of light and liberty Were worthless without thee.
-Thomas Moore

So they lovd as love in twain Had the essence but in one; Two distincts, division none...
-William Shakespeare

I think true love is never blind, But rather brings an added light, An inner vision quick to find The beauties hid from common sight. No soul can ever clearly see Another's highest, noblest part; Save through the sweet philosophy And loving wisdom of the heart.
