Marriage is a promise
By Janna Frail
It is my honour to be standing here today, full of pride
To bear witness to my best friend, Melissa
United in joyful matrimony
With Daniel, the man who stole her heart.
This marriage will deepen and enrich every part of your life.
This marriage is pure, true and everlasting.
This marriage will be a commitment to life,
To the best that you can find and bring out in each other.
Marriage is a potential made in the hearts of two people
Whose love will take a lifetime to fulfil.
Go onward today in your life together
Knowing that the person standing beside you will be there all the days of your life.
Hold each other�s hand
As you join each other�s souls,
With a symbol of love, trust and unity that you have placed on your finger
From this day forward, till death do you part.
Look into each other�s eyes
And see the love that flows from them.
Envision your future life together
Through the years, all the wonderful events that will come to you.
May your marriage bring you all the excitement a marriage should.
May you look back on this day with nothing but joy.
May you always be each other�s best friend, confidant, lover, listener and teacher.
May you continue to dance with each other in the sunshine.
After all the dresses have been put away,
And the tuxes have been returned.
After all the presents have been unwrapped and thank you letters sent.
One lasting gift will be left from this glorious day.
Two people in love and together, forever Mr and Mrs Jewell.
