With God, as your witness, on this special day
You’ve promised to honor, cherish and obey
From this moment forward, your lives share one goal
To respect the joys which have made your bond whole
May each sunrise lead to a soft sky of blue
May your hopes and dreams always be near to you
So, you’ll always find that the pathways ahead
Are paved by the love found on the day you wed.

Before friends and family, you have said, ‘I do’
You’ve pledged love forever, through what may ensue
On this day, your lives have found their destiny
As husband and wife for eternity
May pleasure await you at every bend
May faithfulness guide your hearts until the end
So, if there should ever be reason to doubt
Your love will remain, strong and steadfast throughout.

With God, as your witness, you have become one
In this special moment, your life has begun
From this hour forward, you’ll always be sure
Whatever the season, your love will endure
May the light of morning find your souls delighted
As you walk together; your two souls united
On a sacred journey to last, come what may
Because of the bonds forged on your wedding day.
