My BIL is our reader....is this appropriate for him to read?

Keeper Of The Stars' Tracy Byrd

It was no accident me finding you

Someone had a hand in it

Long before we ever knew

Now I just can't believe you're in my life

Heaven's smilin' down on me

As I look at you tonight



I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars

He sure knew what he was doin'

When he joined these two hearts

I hold everything

When I hold you in my arms

I've got all I'll ever need

Thanks to the keeper of the stars




Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine

It takes my breath away

Just to look into your eyes

I know I don't deserve a treasure like you

There really are no words

To show my gratitude



So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars

He sure knew what he was doin'

When he joined these two hearts

I hold everything

When I hold you in my arms

I've got all I'll ever need

Thanks to the keeper of the stars


It was no accident me finding you

Someone had a hand in it

Long before we ever knew

I agree its something FH should read...though I love that song

i love the song too.

i think it also depends on what kind of ceremony you're having. are you having a formall ceremony? are you getting married in a church? what kind of church?

I have to agree with the ladies. Being that it is written in the first person it seems that the person reading it feels that way. It may be a little strange to have your BIL profess his love for you.

I would suggest changing the words to read more as a story than a profession.

We're getting married at a hall. It is a very small ceremony.

It's okay-it sounds like something your FH should read to you though-not your brother.

I agree!

I see! I'm not sure why I thought the reader would be interpeted as reading the feelings the bride & groom had for one another (know what I mean) Everything I'm finding is in first person. Anyone have any readings they'd suggest?

---

before i can find you something, let me ask you a few questions.

what tone are you going for?
do you want it to be biblical?
formal?
casual?
do you have a favorite author?
do you mind if it's biblical?
how long do you want it to be?

i'll see what i can find

I'd like something more casual.
I don't mind if it's biblical at all !!!!!! (I'm Baptist)
I don't have a favorite author.
Length....not very important but not over a page long ;)

*Thanks!*

“To Be One With Each Other” by George Eliot

What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?


Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth said, 'Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.

'Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me.'


'A Dedication to My Wife' by T.S. Eliot
To whom I owe the leaping delight
That quickens my senses in our wakingtime
And the rhythm that governs the repose of our sleepingtime,
The breathing in unison

Of lovers whose bodies smell of each other
Who think the same thoughts without need of speech
And babble the same speech without need of meaning.

No peevish winter wind shall chill
No sullen tropic sun shall wither
The roses in the rose-garden which is ours and ours only

But this dedication is for others to read:
These are private words addressed to you in public.

'To My Dear and Loving Husband' by Anne Bradstreet
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more that whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.


let me know if i'm heading in the right direction for what you want
