Wedding Poems

A series of romantic poems about weddings, which are a celebration of the state of holy matrimony and the love that encompasses it. Amongst the poems are a few that have found favour as readings for wedding ceremonies, both religious, civil and same sex.

I Will Be As The Granite Rock

I wonderfully romantic poem in which the protagonist voices their undying love for their partner. This is a unisex poem - my proofreader would have preferred the introduction to read the protagonist voices his/her undying love for his/her partner - or perhaps even a bi-sex or same sex poem, which serves equally well as a wedding reading or valentines poem.

When Lovers Part

A couple anticipate their wedding day two weeks hence and the pain of being apart for the period before their nuptials.

Words

A tenderly romantic poem about two people learning to love again, following the disappointments and traumas that they have experienced in previous failed relationships. This poem has proved popular as a wedding reading for those entering into a second marriage, something rather cruelly described as the triumph of hope over experience.

Love

'Love' is a romantic poem which explores the meaning of love as an abstract and a physical construct. God, I can write a load of bollocks, can't I? Just read the poem, as I can assure you you'll enjoy it much more than the introduction to it.

Immeasurable

Not strictly a poem about weddings or even marriage, Immeasurable is a poem about the strength of enduring relationships.

If Ever Two Souls

A tenderly romantic poem about the unity of being that marriage represents for its participants.

More Than All The Riches

A credit crunch beating poem, the central thesis of which is that 'love is of greater value than any material possesion'.

You Are

A poem which will either make you come over all slushy and romantic, or perhaps leave you feeling slightly nauseated (sic).

Do I Love You?

If the answer were no, it would be a rather shorter poem!
