Wonderful Wedding Vows

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.

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.
