Quotes for wedding program

[Jennymc11 2]

Hi everybody,

Although my husband and I got married back in October, we are having our big and fun wedding in April. I really want to find an appropriate quote to go on the front of the program. Does anyone have any good ideas? There are so many quotes to read through online. I was hoping to find one that maybe talks about finding love/travel/soulmates, ya know, all the cheesy stuff.

Please share if you have any that you love. Thanks!

Jenny

[Nessa 23]

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey!

[bora bora 1]

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey!

....

If you're religious maybe a scripture...

or a lyric from a song you both love.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

You had me at, "I do."

[Scott & Lai 12]

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey!

Thanks, Nessa, now I have that song running through my head

Make it STOP

[SteveLaura 0]

I am not jealous

of what came before me.

Come with a man

on your shoulders,

come with a hundred men in your hair,

come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,

come like a river

full of drowned men

which flows down to the wild sea,

to the eternal surf, to Time!

Bring them all

to where I am waiting for you;

we shall always be alone,

we shall always be you and I

alone on earth

to start our life!

Pablo Neruda

This song of mine will wind its music around you,

my child, like the fond arms of love.

The song of mine will touch your forehead

like a kiss of blessing.

When you are alone it will sit by your side and

whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd

it will fence you about with aloofness.

My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,

it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown.

It will be like the faithful star overhead

when dark night is over your road.

My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,

and will carry your sight into the heart of things.

And when my voice is silenced in death,

my song will speak in your living heart.

Rabindranath Tagore

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 - I would have used it for my own wedding but it seemed too portentous for Vegas

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

[RIDION 0]

"Two souls with but a single thought,Two hearts that beat as one."

[diadromous mermaid 36]

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."

~ Aristotle

[Alex+R 0]

I am not jealous

of what came before me.

Come with a man

on your shoulders,

come with a hundred men in your hair,

come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,

come like a river

full of drowned men

which flows down to the wild sea,

to the eternal surf, to Time!

Bring them all

to where I am waiting for you;

we shall always be alone,

we shall always be you and I

alone on earth

to start our life!

Pablo Neruda

This song of mine will wind its music around you,

my child, like the fond arms of love.

The song of mine will touch your forehead

like a kiss of blessing.

When you are alone it will sit by your side and

whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd

it will fence you about with aloofness.

My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,

it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown.

It will be like the faithful star overhead

when dark night is over your road.

My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,

and will carry your sight into the heart of things.

And when my voice is silenced in death,

my song will speak in your living heart.

Rabindranath Tagore

[Ban Hammer 13,332]

Come with a man

on your shoulders,

come with a hundred men in your hair,

come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet,

come like a river

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.

Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

~Khalil Gibran, from "The Prophet"

(Lebanese Christian poet ... apparently the third best selling poet of all time after Shakespeare and Lao Tse, according to Wikipedia ... his works are often quoted during marriage, child dedication, and funeral services in my church)

That's very often chosen, and for a good reason: it's got a great message. Much better than any sort of "two bodies/one soul" or worse, "two hearts beating as one" #######, IMVHO.

"Love...always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails...."

1 Corinthians 13:6-8, NIV

[dbears 1]

"Marriage may be made in heaven, but the maintenance must be done on earth."

"Two hearts that have been merged is marriage; two souls that have been merged is fate."

"I know that you are not perfect and nor can I claim to be either, but please believe me, when I say that I want to be by your side, to hold your hand, to treasure you in the morning and in the noon-tide, to be next to you, to be held close to your heart now and for the rest of my living years, to comfort you, dry your tears and calm your most frightening fears, to fight your battles and show no shame to scream my love for you out loud all over the land."

"The easiest part of marriage is falling in love and walking down the aisle. The most difficult part of marriage is 10 years later when the problems have ensued and issues have come about and you still find love. Marriage is not about the beginning, marriage is about the process and still being able to love through all things."

"For hearing my thoughts, understanding my dreams and being my best friend, for filling my life with joy and loving me without end, I do."

"Dealing with in-laws is like walking down a dark hallway with a bucket of industrial-strength glue sitting in the shadows. If you're not careful, you'll step into a very sticky situation."
