Standing before
Friends and family
Becoming one
Promising to be
There for each other
Through thick and thin
Committed to each other
Sealing their love
With a tender kiss
Man and wife
Partners for life
Promising
To share their
Thoughts
Dreams
Secrets
Values
Money
Fantasies
Bed
Insecurities
Fears
Love
Disappointments
Hopes
Always there for each other
Through sickness
And in health
Giving as much
As they take
Loving each other
Unconditionally
Resolving conflicts
Spending time together
Giving each other space
Learning
To compromise
To Communicate
No matter what
To have patience
To create
A successful marriage
With God
Guiding them
Who brought them
Together
To have a
Happily Ever After
