Today I married my best friend,
Today I pledged to stick through thick and thin,
Today I sealed a pact witnessed on earth and heaven within,
Today I became one flesh with my beloved friend.
Love is not love which alters with the rising tide,
Love is not love which falters with the seasons stride,
Love is constant and enduring,
Love is patient and endearing.
Two friends clasped in holy pride,
Two friends committed to a heavenly ride,
Two friends selflessly serving each other,
Two friends united to build a family like no other.
North winds blow and south winds sweep,
Months fold into years and seasons of life creep,
Babies come and children grow,
But loves flames ever so strongly glow.
A marriage made in heaven above,
Witnessed on earth below,
Such tenderness to the hearts bestow,
Brings honour and glory to our God above.
