That Special Day

Postby Joseph Anderson » Sat Feb 14, 2015 4:08 pm

O! Wedding day, that blessed day
where hope and love reside;
The groom awaits, awaits his turn
to claim the radiant bride.

Their time has come, love wins again,
perhaps the angels sing.
This sacred ritual, when fulfilled,
becomes a moving thing.

As all await. a hush descends,
commitment fills the air;
Our hopes and fears, our smiles and tears
attend this loving pair.

Today, this couple take the vows
that unifies their love;
May all the wondrous powers that be,
send blessings from above.

Read at my son's wedding, at their request, many years ago

I loved the repeated use of 'awaits, awaits' - very humorous and apt to describe the grooms nerves.

"Our hopes and fears, our smiles and tears
attend this loving pair." - you captured the entire congregations thoughts in these two eloquent lines Joseph. Well penned dear poet. Im sure there wasnt a heart that didnt skip a beat when you read this aloud. :)
