20 Wedding Poems

1. To Have And To Hold

   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2020
   
   To have and to hold
   Until you grow old
   These words on this day
   Have special meaning in every way.
   
   The day that you start a life together
   The two of you have never been better
   Your love and happiness we feel
   We can tell it is so real.
   
   We wish you much happiness
   And we are glad we could witness
   This special wedding day
   And the love you both display.





2. To Be One With Each Other

   Poet: George Eliot
   
   What greater thing is there for two human souls than
   To feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labor,
   To minister to each other in all sorrow,
   To share with each other in all gladness,
   To be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories.

3. A Promise Forever

   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Today we vow, with love so true,
   To walk this life as one, me and you.

   Our hearts united will always remain.

   All the way to age we'll go
   Hand in hand together;

   Joy and sorrow sharing
   Hand in hand along the way
   We'll go bravely faring.......

7. Marry My Best Friend

   Author Unknown
   
   This day I marry my best friend
   The one I laugh with as we share life’s wonderous zest,
   As we find new enjoyments and experience all that’s best.
   The one I live for because the world seems brighter
   As our happy times are better and our burdens feel much lighter.
   The one I love with every fiber of my soul.
   We used to feel vaguely incomplete, now together we are whole.

8. Wedding Bells

   Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
   
   Chime, merrily chime, your silvery peal
   Joins two hearts in one, with Love's mystic seal.
   Chime. merrily chime, the spring time has come
   With Hope's leaves and flowers to enwreath their home.
   
   Chime, merrily chime, the bridegroom and bride
   Are youthful and pure, their fond parents' pride.
   Chime, merrily chime, their future foretell.
   As happy and glad as the tones of your bell.
   
   Chime, merrily chime, and breathe as ye chime
   Orisons to heaven, to be echoed thro' time;
   Like sweet dulcet notes from Galilee's shore,
   With Christ at your feast to remain evermore.

10. The Vow

    Poet: Maureen Tolman Flannery
    
    What is a vow,
    but an intention
    spoken out before the world
    so that the world, in hearing,
    might take part
    in aspirations of the willing heart?
    
    In our coming here today
    to join and bless
    the joy of your becoming wed,
    may we enter in
    the truth of the words you’ve said,
    "I do."





11. A Bridal Measure

    Poet: Paul Laurence Dunbar
    
    Come, essay a sprightly measure,
    Tuned to some light song of pleasure.
    Maidens, let your brows be crowned
    As we foot this merry round.....

12. Love, Laughter, and Laundry

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
    
    Today we say, "I do," with love in our hearts,
    But let’s not forget, marriage is an art.
    It’s not all roses or endless bliss,
    Sometimes it’s toothpaste you’ll argue about—who made the mess?
    
    You’ll learn to share the remote and the snacks,
    And who leaves dishes piled up in stacks.
    Compromise becomes your new best friend,
    Like agreeing whose turn it is to clean up again!
    
    But through it all, the laughter will stay,
    Love grows stronger every single day.
    For marriage is quirky, perfectly so,
    And together, there’s no place you’d rather go!








13. Thy Wedding Day

    Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
    
    To deck thee for thy bridal, on this thy wedding day,
    I bring you, with my best love, this beautiful bouquet.
    Altho' it's a stormy, wintry morn, the flow'rs are as gay
    As they'd be in the spring time, in merrie, merrie May.





14. A New Chapter Begins

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
    
    Today we stand, a brand-new page,
    Our hearts united, a love to engage.
    With every step, our story unfolds,
    A journey together, more precious than gold.
    
    The past is behind, the future is bright,
    With love as our guide, we’ll do what’s right.
    Hand in hand, we’ll face what’s ahead,
    Building a life where love is spread.
    
    This new beginning, a gift so sweet,
    Two lives as one, now complete.
    With hope and joy, we’ll see this through,
    Forever and always, it’s me and you.





15. Grateful Hearts

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
    
    Today we gather, our hearts so full,
    With family and friends, life feels so whole.
    Your love and support mean more than you know,
    You’ve helped us bloom, you’ve helped us grow.
    
    Each smile and hug, each word so kind,
    Are treasures in life we’re blessed to find.
    You’ve stood beside us, through thick and thin,
    With you in our corner, we’re sure to win.
    
    So thank you all, from the depths of our heart,
    For being here as our new life starts.
    Your love and presence we’ll always treasure,
