I'm looking for artisit, lyrics or title of an old wedding song.?

Question

I married in 1977 and the song we chose for the life of me can't remember the artist, title or any lyrics except for, "with this ring I thee wed." Anybody know of who it could be? Thank you.

Answer 1

With This Ring...

(Jack Rollins - Steve Nelson)

With this ring I Thee wed an angel here beside me
Just a moment more and heaven will be mine
With this ring I Thee wed as every dream inside me
Comes true each time I hear the church bells chime.

This little band of gold I hold will soon be on your finger
Our kiss will bring a moment so divine
With this ring I Thee wed and now you're mine forever
To have and to hold until the end of time.

--- Instrumental ---

With our hearts tied as one we'll leave the church together
Together as we know we'll always be
And our life just began this day will live forever
Like blossoms in a treasured memory.

Your big bouquet may fade away but as the years go by dear
I'll take your hand and say each day anew
With this ring I Thee wed I vow I love you truly
And everyday you hear me say I do...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then there is this one...........

THis Ring....

With this ring I thee wed
A love so fragile made in bed
They say they can take you

Naive love sold lustful schemes
Torn at heart and shattered dreams
They say they can break you

I'm not looking for absolution
For promises I can't keep
Oh lord do you hear me
This time should I fear thee

My deepest fears are close at hand
On this foreign soil of blood and sand
They say they can stake you

My time has come, death's promise to keep
Close your eyes in eternal sleep
They say they can wake you

I won't fight for the father-land
Mother Earth at my feet
Oh lord can you hear me
I need somebody to steer me

With this ring I thee wed
With this ring I thee wed
They say
With this ring
With this ring
