Wedding vows and poems celebrate your marriage and its sacred meaning

Writing wedding vows and poems seems to be very hard for some people. Not everyone has capability and skill to write their own wedding vows and poems. But it would be great if you can write your own wedding vows. You can express your feelings of romance and beauty that you keep in your hearts. It is a great place and chance for you to express your love and affection towards your fiancé. You can say in your own words all the feelings exist in your hearts. How wonderful your wedding will be!


If you don’t feel comfortable to write your wedding vows yourselves, it will also be convenient to segue into quoting your poetry. After an introduction at the beginning of ceremony, the efficient then announce what you are going to read from what you have quoted, such as example below:

"And now John and Mary will exchange the words they have chosen for each other. John will be quoting from Walt Whitman's 'Song of the Open Road', and Mary from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'Sonnets from the Portuguese'."

You can express everything in your vows and poems, especially the things that you suppose to be the most important to you in your union. You can include equality, joy, togetherness and anything else. You can read the wedding vow samples below that are quoted from Kahlil Ghibran’s book "The Prophet". This excerpt was adapted from his chapter on the subject of marriage. It will be powerful if quoted by the efficient:

"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of heaven dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together but not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."

This one can be considered for pure fun. This was written by Robert Burns. This poem should be read aloud to do justice to the way it is written:

"O my luve is like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June: O my luve is like the melodie, That's sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a` the seas gang dry. Till a` the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi` the sun; And I will luve thee still my dear, While the sands o` life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve! And fare thee weel a while! And I will come again, my luve, Tho` it were ten thousand mile."
