Love Poems, Quote and Bible Verses...

Brides will often ask me for a poem, quote or Bible verse that would be appropriate for them to use on their invitations or programs. So, I thought that I'd post my list here, for all the world to enjoy! I have compiled this list from a variety of sources including wedding books, the internet, the Bible, and from some things that brides have given to me to use. Enjoy!

Two Loves
By Father Abram J. Ryan

Two loves came up a long, wide aisle,
And knelt at a low, white gate;
One—tender and true, with a shyest smile,
One—strong, true and elate.

Two lips spoke in a firm true way,
And two lips answered soft and low;
In one true hand such a little hand lay
Fluttering, frail as a flake of snow.
One stately head bent humble there,
Stilled were the throbbings of human love;
One head drooped down like a lily fair,

Two prayers went, wing to wing, above.
God blest them both in the holy place,
Long brief moment till the rite was done;
On the human love fell a heavenly grace,
Making two hearts forever one.

Between two lengthening rows of smiles,
One sweetly shy, one proud, elate,
Two loves passed down the long wide aisle
Will they ever forget the low white gate?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No speed of wind or water rushing by
But you have speed far greater. You can climb
Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
And back through history up the stream of time.
And you were given this swiftness, not for haste,
Not chiefly that you may go where you will,
But in the rush of everything to waste,
That you may have the power of standing still-
Off any still or moving thing you say.
Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar.

-Robert Frost-

Love is like an eternal flame,
once it is lit,
it will continue to burn for all time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A life of sharing, caring
A love of endless giving together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is only one happiness in life,
to love and be loved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A new day
A new life
Together

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two lives, two hearts
Joined together in friendship
United forever in
Love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are:
The smile on my face
The beat in my heart
The light of my day
The dark of my night

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are:
The dreams I dream
The passion I possess
The soul I adore
The one I love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You bring into my life
a sense of oneness,
shared by two.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I think of my love for you,
it can only be compared to the
greatest feelings of love in the world
And that is God’s Love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Dove of Love has touched my Heart
Sprinkling purity each day that I start
Faith, Hope and Love is the way I shall be
Forever yours eternally

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are my best friend and soul mate
May the Love that we have for each other
Last forever in our hearts and soul.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My love I do give to you,
more than words can explain.
That's why I thank the Lord for you,
each and everyday!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For on this day and every day after,
I plan to fill your heart with love and laughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just for you
I give my heart
For years to come
'Til death do us part

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My gift to you is my love
Given from deep within my heart
It is the best I have to offer
And it's yours until this earth we depart

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In all my life
I have never known
someone like you who
makes me feel so complete
in everyway.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two lives, two hearts
Joined together in Love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whoever lives in love
Lives in God…
I John 4:16

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This day I will marry my best friend,
The one I laugh with,
Live for, dream with and
Love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love knows no limit to its endurance
no end to its trust,
Love still stands
when all else has fallen.

1 Corinthians 13:7-8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love you today
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever
With all of my heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I do believe that God above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew I would love you the best.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are the one
who makes me whole.
You've captured my heart
and touched my soul.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are the one
that stepped out of my dreams,
gave me new hope and
showed me what love means.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You alone are my reason to live
for the compassion you show
and the care that you give.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You came into my life
and made me complete.
Each time I see you
my heart skips a beat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are the one
God sent from above
The angel I needed
For whom I do love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart,
And for us to be together, to never be apart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No one else in the world can even compare,
You're perfect and so is this love that we share.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have so much more than I ever thought we would,
I love you more than I ever thought I could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I promise to give you all I have to give,
I'll do anything for you as long as I live.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In your eyes I see our present,
our future and past.
By the way you look at me,
I know we will last.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that one day
you'll come to realize,
how perfect you are
when seen through my eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I asked God for a flower, he gave me a bouquet
I asked God for a minute, he gave me a day
I asked God for true love, he gave me that too
I asked for an angel and he gave me you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forever is what I want with you
For the search is at an end
Our hearts have found each other
As lovers, as soul mates, as friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our lives entwined to be as one,
Upon this journey we’ve just begun.
Where you and I will find no less,
Than eternal love and happiness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Meaning of Love
Love is patient, Love is kind.
It does not envy, It does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
Always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Across the years
I will walk with you,
in deep green forests
on shores of sand.
And when our time
on earth is through,
in heaven too,
you will have my hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two souls fused by commitment,
Two names written in the stars above,
Two lives intertwined by God,
Two hearts joined by the purest of love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As You Marry
On this your wedding day
May angels smile upon you
For a single heart now beats
Where once there had been two
The Lord has brought you to this day
Through all of life's confusions
To come full circle all the way
To bless your wedded union
May your days be filled with laughter
And your nights be filled with peace
As you grow old together
Sharing happiness and ease
For a man shall be a woman's heart
And a woman be a man's
Til the oceans cease to flow
And deserts lose their sands
"This is my beloved, and this is my friend."
