Wedding Words

Together



Before Together, there was a world,
wide, large and unknown
demanding your explore, your bravery your touch.

Before Together, your hearts frail, scarred, well guarded,
Still questing discovery, adventure, fresh wounds.

Before Together, your love, vague, simple and slippery,
seeking challenge, defining and form.

Before Together, half Together.
Half Together, alone.
Two alones, two hearts, two worlds, two apart
are now soft memories, cleansed by your Together.

And here we are,
all called to witness,
Together two hearts, two worlds

We smile, we delight
At distance conquered by desire,
At desire conjoined by events and
At events coalesced by affection.

We smile, we reflect
At the meeting, the juncture,
At the union defined.
In a future imagined, a pledge forever.

Together before us.
Together in time.
Love challenging, defining, discovering.
Together embarking on separate paths,

So we gift you strength and delight.
Together in one world,
wide, large and unknown.
