Give and Take?

 True love is putting another’s needs before your own. Love isn’t about restrictions or limitations. Love is about trust, respect and thoughtfulness. 

Love is compassion and the working towards the better. It’s about growing, compromise and remembering the positive in times of turmoil.

Today I marry my best friend

Today I marry my best friend,

our love entwined it hath end.

I take your hand and hold it in mine,

I make a promise to love you for all time.

My wish to the heaves has  finally come true

for today I am united with you.

My heart is yours and you hold the key

A love for all time, from now to eternity.

As we head through life and all its many phases

I promise to love you in all your different stages.

In times of anger, hurt or frustration.

In times of silliness, joy and celebration.

I promise to always see the man I marry today,

through troubles or contentment, beside I will stay.

Today I marry my best friend.

Our love entwined it hath end.
