- My marriage wish. By Anonymous
All is fair in love and war, so in marriage, you get only what you give!
To get good returns, a great marriage should be made, by creating the atmosphere for love. This is because, every little thing counts and happiness only thrives where there is love.
A marriage where you speak as one,
A marriage where my pain is your pain,
A marriage where we never sleep over anger,
A marriage where we don’t only say, but act love,
A marriage where we allow us grow, give us wings and help us fly,
A marriage where honesty is our watchword, faith and sacrifice our emblem,
A marriage where we face the world with a united front,
A marriage where we appreciate the little things we do for each other,
A marriage where forgiveness is easy and no grudges kept,
A marriage where our smiles to each other is a balm for the hard times,
A marriage where our love will stay strong till we are old and grey,
A marriage that faults not but only sees beauty and contentment,
A marriage where we aim to be the kind of person, we want to be with.
This, is my marriage wish for us.
- Love- A universal word by Anonymous
There is a word, one that is spoken and understood universally. One word that means many things, one word that bounds us all, one word why we are all here. A word that has been from the time of our fathers and will continue even after us. One that has caused wars and brought peace, the word is LOVE.
It is very powerful and should not be taken for granted,
For it is loyal through thorns and thistles,
For it is kind
For it sees no faults
For it forgives, forgets and bears no ills
For it is gentle and does not envy
For it is patient
For it is content
For it is sufficient
For it is hopeful
For it is honest
For it is growth.
Take a bold leap at love and bask in it.
When you have found it, never let it go. For if you do, you may have no other chance at it.
- The bond called marriage. By Anonymous
Marriage is the joining of two souls who have found each other, known each other and have chosen to be together. Two people whose hearts beat as one.
Marriage is a gift that you would keep unwrapping. They contain so much love that binds your souls stronger together; wisdom and contentment to keep your marriage going.
It will show you that there is continuous room for growth and you can be the best kind of you.
Marriage is sacrifice, a place of trust where you must also compromise. A challenge and a paradise. It gives you many memories to treasure forever. Your tears, your pains, your joys, your successes and triumphs with the one your heart beats for.
Marriage makes you see another, think of another, care for another and love another. Marriage is a nuclear unit of humanity.
Marriage is a step only the bold can take. To love another totally, warts and all, on good and bad days is no mean feat.

- It takes more by Anonymous
More than love alone, does a marriage thrive on. Little things, here and there in addition to love, does marriage need to blossom.
Selflessness, helps you know that you don’t loose in the battle of love. Make sacrifices for your partner, no villain, no vanquished!
Loyalty, to have your partners back before the world, even if you may be making a mistake.
Hope, to know that the best days are yet to come and you are still on your way to them.
Faith, to keep keeping on, even without respite in sight.
Commitment, to consciously make it work and see it through against all odds. To be open to each other in honesty and grow together even when days are hard.
Trust, that you are on the same team, come what may.
Love, is vital, but it takes more.
- Something little. By Anonymous
Marriage is made special because of love. The greatest gift any one can ever gift another. That is why we are here with joy in our hearts today. We all love each other.
With all my heart, I pray today that, your wedding ceremony brings good tidings to you and those who have taken these vows of marriage before you.
That they be reminded of the potency and power of love. That as they are present while you make a declaration of your love, that their relationships be revived.
That your wedding ceremony and the love you share will give strength to the weary hearted and hope to the hopeless.
That today marks a turning point and remains a pleasantly memorable day for you and everyone present.
That today, we will all renew and gain insights into the vows we have all taken with the ones we love.
And that the love the bride and groom share, waxes strong, grows in leaps and bounds, brings happiness and endures till the end of time.
Something little, yet so big. Love!
- Alive again by Anonymous
A lonely fellow, bereft of love, hope and faith. Many a time, gave up on life, thinking there was nothing left for me to hold on for. Then the heavens remembered me and brought you my way. Like a ray of sunshine, you brightened my life and like a physician, healed my frail heart.
Your smile lighted up my world and your love made me believe again that hope abound. Your tenderness, like balm soothed my soul and your friendship like choice food, you gave without holding back.
Your love has brought me fulfilment and made me whole and I give back to you same- what I couldn’t do, once upon a time. I thank you for being my hero. You took my sick heart, tendered it and revived it, now I’m alive again.
Now I bask in happiness, secure in your love and confident in myself. It is to you my love. I am alive again!
- Marriage like an oath by Anonymous
Marriage is a joining of the soul, like an oath binds beyond the physical. It is two people coming together in promise to make each other priority for always. It is a journey to self-discovery and discovering each other, happiness and spiritual growth with your significant other.
Marriage is like an oath where you take all the highs and lows, successes and failures, joy to pain and pain to joy. Marriage is a strong commitment and dedication. A place where you love even on days when you don’t feel like it. Where you stay positive even when it looks bleak.
A place where you let go of anger, resentments and hate and love from the core of your being if you must thrive. Marriage is a place where you risk it all, because it is worth all the stress.
Marriage like an oath. Once it binds.
- From now until the end by Anonymous
From now until the end,
Your home will be my home,
Your joys will be my joys and your pains will be my pains.
Your smile will be my smile.
From now until the end of time.
We will soar together,
We will journey together,
Let the rain soak us and
the sun scorch us, I will not forsake you.
From now until the end of time.
Our souls have searched, found and are bound to each other,
Yet our bodies separately achieve their own goals,
But after all is done, I come back into your arms, for I am yours,
From now until the end of time.
Take me as I am and love me so.
Help me grow but grow with me,
Love me wholly and true, for I will give you all these on my honour,
Be a part of me and make me better, for you become better too,
Celebrate my strength, but do not change me,
Correct me in love, but do not judge me,
Let me go but hold me close,
For even if I wander, in my quest for accomplishment,
My heart stays with you and I will never leave, but be with you
From now, till the end of time.
