wedding poem?

Question

my wife is trying to find a nice poem to read at her sisters wedding day - any ideas please?

Answer 1

To my sister on her wedding day,
On whom my love long has shone:
May your wish and world be one,
Your want your wind, your will your way.
So may you find happiness
In being loved and loving well,
So long as choice and chance may tell,
Turning time to tenderness.
Each day may both of you again
Rejoice in what this day you've done.

or

To my sister on her wedding day:
Old memories are a movie starring you.
Much of me was shaped by our relation,
Years and years of being one of two.
So like two trees alone upon a meadow,
Interplaying with the rain and sun,
Shaped by turning earth through light and shadow,
The growth of two becomes the growth of one.
Even as you enter now the light,
Remember how we shared the dreams of night.

Answer 2

Type in the words "love poetry" in your browser and you'll be there for ever. There is traditional poetry, modern poetry and or course people writing unpublished poetry. Try all the wedding sites from all over the world. If you have a theme for the wedding you could use that as a basis for your search.

The favourite is the Apache Wedding Blessing.

It's going to be hard choosing as there's so much available. The library is also a good place to research. Good Luck.

Answer 3

This isn't a poem but it is lovely but only if you are religious. Look up in the bible Corinthains 13:4

4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Answer 4

I hope one of these poems will help. All of them are so beautiful. Good luck!


No matter how we have fought, we will always be sisters.
Neither marriage nor distance nor children will change
The frictional fondness, part balm and part blisters,
No dawn can diminish nor passion make strange.

Like two trees with their wrestling roots underground,
Fighting for sun while restraining the wind,
By close and protracted proximity bound,
We've been shaped by a force that no fate can rescind.

And so it's with undaunted pleasure that I
Bid farewell to a part of myself, for I know
That beyond the illusions of what, when, and why,
We'll be together wherever we go.



This moment is a pedestal
On which I stand to say
What normally I hold within
The sanctum of my heart.

And so it is impossible
For what I feel today
To make it into words without
The agency of art.

I love you, and I've loved you since
Before I knew of love.
And so your happiness to me
Is like a set of wings.

I follow from the mountaintops
And watch you as you move
Into the lifelong mystery
That whispers as it sings.

Ah, brother! Now, and sister, too!*
What worlds you will explore!
What long adventure will go on
With you as man and wife!

And I will cherish both of you
Enchanted on the shore,
And dance within at every joy
That blesses your new life.

*Feel free to reverse the order.




To my sister on her day,
On whom my love long has shone:
May your wish and world be one,
Your want your wind, your will your way.
So may you find happiness
In being loved and loving well,
So long as choice and chance may tell,
Turning time to tenderness.
Each day may both of you again
Rejoice in what this day you've done.

something borrowed something blue
a handfull of roses and something brand new

all these people have come to say
how lovely you look on your very special day

Answer 7

Answer 8

A lovely poem is by Elizabeth Barret Browing:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Weddings are a day of marriage
Weddings are a day of happiness
Weddings are a day of joining.

Weddings can start a new life
Weddings can start a new future
Weddings can start a new happiness.

There is more to it, I just cannot remember.
