Vow Renewals
I love you my husband My partner in life You’ve stuck with me ten years Through trouble and strife Plus eleven years prior You’re truly a saint For the most perfect wife I surely ain’t Yes, good times and bad times The happy and sad The greatest of husbands A girl ever had You’re my rock, you’re my friend on whom I depend The calm voice of reason and logic In family crises, amidst fear and doubt You can always be trusted to figure things out From writing ‘bout vampires to riding a horse To hosting musicians, or taking a course Or mad bouts of shopping for ten pairs of shoes You always support me, whatever I choose Your patience is awesome when teaching me math At fixing computers, you're great You don’t judge my shyness, you bear with my moods You’ll eat TV meals when I don’t cook you food And when I can’t sleep in the midst of the night You never complain when I turn on the light And though I might struggle to play violin You’ve never once told me to pack it all in You’re generous, affectionate, loving and kind Honest, good-natured and sunny With a great sense of humor, you easily laugh When often things strike you as funny You make me feel safe You make me feel warm Your strong arms surround me And guard me from harm There’s nobody else who I’d rather be with Through sickness and health, rich and poor We’ve still got adventures to travel together So, cheers to many years more! |
Wedding
Marriage is promise Marriage is love Marriage is blessings Bestowed from above Marriage means taking The good with the bad At times you’ll be happy At times you’ll be sad You’ll tell him you’re sorry Though you know you were right Or he’ll give you a hug When you feel like a fight He’ll be tender and sweet When you’re dead on your feet Bring you slippers and tea When your body is beat You’ll tell him he’s great And you’re proud of the way That he cares for his wife And works hard for his pay And when he’s all sweaty And aches from his day Your kindness will soothe All his tension away One day you’ll be parents A mom and a dad With babies to care for And won’t you be glad? They’ll bring you much joy Though they’ll use up your time With feeding and bathing And nursery rhymes They’ll fill up their diapers They’ll spit up and barf But your hearts will just melt When you hear their first laugh Or they’ll smile in their sleep With their dimply cheeks Though their colic and rashes Have lasted for weeks Yes, parenting’s work But it’s lots of fun too We're sure you’ll be great And your kids will love you So, Lilly and Timmy Your dream has come true It’s all right ahead When you answer, “I Do” And as you begin On your new life together God bless you, be happy Forever and ever! |
