Just wanted to share an "aaaw" moment!!

Vintage84, 13 August, 2012 at 22:05 Posted on Planning 0 12

My OH was googling readings for our ceremony, obviously because we're having a civil ceremony it couldn't be anything religious. He found the poem below and was reading it to me. His voice broke on line 4 & he had tears in his eyes. Later on he said "I can't wait to marry you"....it was so lovely because he's not always great with words :-) Today is a day you will always remember The greatest in anyone's life You'll start off the day just two people in love And end it as Husband and Wife It's a brand new beginning the start of a journey With moments to cherish and treasure And although there'll be times when you both disagree These will surely be outweighed by pleasure You'll have heard many words of advice in the past When the secrets of marriage were spoken But you know that the answers lie hidden inside Where the bond of true love lies unbroken So live happy forever as lovers and friends It's the dawn of a new life for you As you stand there together with love in your eyes From the moment you whisper 'I do' And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real May success find it's way to your hearts Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys But today is the day it all starts

    Oh rats!! The formatting on my phone hasn't worked, his voice broke on "you'll start this day two people in love and end it as husband and wife"

    Lovely! It's so nice when they get involved isn't it? My OH has chosen our reading too, it's the words to a song that he said he always knew would be part of our wedding day.

    The one your h2b chose, I chose to read at my friend's wedding a few years ago, it is so lovely

    Awww what a softie. That's lovely. I think it's so sweet when the men get involved. Anything my OH suggests (except for what I consider important things) is just going to be used without question because he's not usually so smushy in front of other people. Even if a few things end up being a bit cheesy or ever-so-slightly tacky I don't care. I'm just so proud of him for putting aside his macho-ness to add little soppy touches that show how much he loves me Smiley smile

    Definitely! OH has been shot down many, many times already when his ideas have been either totally ridiculous or just tacky beyond comprehension. He always sees my POV though so he never gets offended lol.

    WTS...my H2B has had some good ideas but some have been equally bad. I'm incorporating as much of what he has said as possible without being ridiculous. One thing he said was "I think we should skydive into the wedding".....that was not an idea we have kept...

    My sister had that at her wedding on Saturday. My other sister read it and did have a bit of trouble with the line "cherish and treasure" not the best words to have together!
