~ Couple's Names ~
. . . As you begin your new life together,

To make your marriage the best that it can be,
To honor each other until eternity.
Feel each other’s sorrow, feel each other’s pain,
Then a deeper bond, the two of you will gain.
The words you speak, the touch you give,
Will be the essence of the life that you will live.
Listen to each other with ears and heart,
Attentive and caring never to part.
Always give your spouse the benefit of the doubt,
For that is what trust and respect are all about.
Forgiveness and understanding go hand in hand,
Then you’ll surely know love has taken a stand.

Verse 1-8

And The Greatest of These is Love . . .
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

Love, if the heart is willing, grows stronger every day.
May you both love each other more today
than you did yesterday, but less than tomorrow.
Today, (wedding date) as
(couple's names), become one with the Lord . . .
We wish you both the best that married life can offer.

God Bless You Both,

~ Mom and Dad ~

I want to take this opportunity
to tell you both how I am feeling today,
so full of love, today this, my wedding day.
In growing up, you taught me the values that
I would need to become the person that I am today.
You taught me to be kind, unselfish, and give of
myself to others. You taught me respect, which I
give back to you each and every day. You taught
me strength and courage. Strength to find my
own way, even when times were tough.
Courage to continue on a path which might be
bumpy at times, but to follow my heart and keep
on trying and never to quit or give up on a challenge.
When I was young, you wiped my tears
from my cheeks. Now today, if I see a tear or
two fall upon your cheeks, I know they
are tears of joy, true joy for me.

It’s hard to find the right words
to tell you how I feel.
I want to deeply thank you
for all you’ve done for me.
But “thank you” only begins to say
what’s in my heart today.
I sometimes took for granted
your guidance and caring ways.
The sacrifices made for me
may have seemed to go unnoticed.
But as I start a new chapter in my life,
I want you to know,
that your love and support
are among my most cherished memories.

You’re such a kind, gentle and caring man.
You are a man with strength and courage,
Fulfilling your dreams, not easily discouraged.
You are a reflection of dad, in your own little way,
While preserving your own identity, day by day.
Your honesty and integrity brightly shine through,
You are quite a man, as I look at you.
You are so responsible in everything that you do,
And quite a sense of humor, you do have too.
The key to success you have found,
Happiness and security, are all around.
I love the person you have become,
I am so very proud to call you . . . Son.

With All My Love, Mom

Verse 6-5

~ Dad ~

We are proud to call you dad each day,
You are a special man who leads our way.
So kindhearted, thoughtful, and loving too,
A man of strong faith and character, as we look at you.
You are definitely a man of tradition,
One without compromise, under any condition.
You deliberately guide us to help ourselves each day,
Pushing us gently, to earn our own way.
A dad is a protector, teacher and friend,
You are the one in whom, we can depend.
Honest, hardworking, and optimistic too,
A creative and goal oriented man, that is you.
You taught us good morals and good values,
And never to say I can’t, because you can, if you choose.
You taught us to take a stand, as you always do,
And to follow your heart, for that is true.
You taught us to try our best, then we wouldn’t lose,
And to learn by our mistakes, decisions we did choose.
You definitely are a treasure, and we are so glad,
To have you as our father, and call you our dad.

Love,
(your names)

Verse 6-6

Mother

You are so very special to me,
As loving and caring as can be.
You’ve given me so very much,
And how I cherish your gentle touch.
I love all of the hugs and kisses that you gave,
Even when I didn’t behave.
You taught me to love and to trust,
And of course, responsibility you said, was a must.
You’ve helped me through the good times and the bad,
I have the best mom any one could ever have had.
I hope someday, I can repay,
All that you have given to me.
I thank you, Mom, for loving me.
Love,
(your name)

Verse 6-11

Thank You, Mom

Thank you for all the times,
You washed my dirty face,
And remained patient, when I refused to say grace.
For all the times when I was stubborn
And wouldn't eat my food,
And for the times you remained tolerant,
No matter what my mood.
For all the times you wiped away my tears,
Eased my pain, and lessened my fears.
For all the stories that you read,
Then safely tucked me into bed.
The games we played, the hugs we shared,
I know at times, the heartache that you beared.
For all the love you have shown to me,
I thank you, Mom, for loving me.

With Love,

Celebrating a Special Love of 25 Years

Anniversaries are celebrations, oh yes indeed,
For those special marriages that do succeed.
For twenty five years you have shared your lives,
With caring and kindness, keeping romance alive.
A love with a silver lining you do obtain,
Because love in your hearts still does remain.
You have shared many good times over the years,
With joy and laughter, and even some tears.
We surely know, there is no doubt,
The two of you know what forever is all about.
The way that you smile at each other,
Shows a loving bond like no other.

You’re living proof, just look at you.
You both have found a treasure in life,
You are a wonderful couple, husband and wife.

~ Couples Names ~

As You Celebrate Fifty Golden Years of Marital Bliss
(Anniversary Date)
Fifty golden years of marital bliss,
A warm embrace, a gentle kiss.
A tender moment, a loving touch,
Are special memories, that mean so much.
Together you believed, together you prayed,
Together you played, together you stayed.
A love like yours doesn’t happen every day,
You’ve weathered the seasons, and made your way.
You have made your house into a home,
One where love stayed, and did not roam.
You never knew how much your love would grow,
When you exchanged wedding bands, fifty years ago.
No amount of silver or gold ever replaces,
The love in your eyes, and the smiles on your faces.
So hold on tight to the riches you have found,
A marriage made in heaven, forever bound.

Retirement – A New Beginning

After all these years of going to work,
you now can retire with a smirk.
Knowing that every day you did your best,
Especially when you are put to the test.
You have certainly earned our trust and respect,
Now enjoy the retirement that you did select.
No more traffic jams or clocks to punch,
Or worrying how long to take for lunch.
So, sit back and enjoy the serenity and peace,
Knowing that the rat race now will cease.
Peace and tranquility you do deserve,
For all the years that you did serve.
Life as you knew it will not be the same,
Now the hours in your day, you can reclaim.
Retirement is not an end, but a beginning,
Of enjoying your life, and what it will bring.

Best Wishes on Your New Endeavors!

~ Walk A Little Slower Daddy ~

“Walk a little slower Daddy”
said a child so small. “I’m following
in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.
I need your example to see how rich & full life can be,
So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Each and every day I watch and see,
Just what you do and just what you say,
so I know the example that you show to me
Is the same person that you will want me to be.
The examples that you teach me will guide my way,
As I try to grow up and
become the person you are today.
Then when I have a child who’ll want to follow me;
I will know just what to teach them,
The same that you taught to me.
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
You are all I have to see.”

Although we may not have given you birth,
At first sight, we knew your worth.
Though there were many to choose from,
You, my dear, were our chosen one.
We love to see your smiling face,
Our arms around you, we will embrace.
We share with you, your hopes and dreams,
Relishing the moments when your face gleams.

And soon out into the world you will go.
Spread your wings, fly like a dove,
Knowing that you have our unending love.

We are so busy preparing for the date you are due,
We love you already, we cannot wait to hold you.

Our dreams will soon become a reality that is true,
We anxiously await . . .

Verse 10-7 In the World of a Child

(Child's name)

In the world of a child,
There are hugs and kisses,
Many dreams and dozens of wishes.
In the world of a child,
There are lullabies galore,
Poems and stories, and old folklore.
In the world of a child,
There are blankets and rocking chairs,
Little dolls and cuddly teddy bears.
In the world of a child,
There are 10 little fingers and 10 little toes,
And long curly hair with beautiful bows.
In the world of a child,
There are giggles and laughter,
That will remain in our hearts forever after.

With Our Love,
