Love Poems for Use in Your Spring Wedding

A wedding is a huge event and one of the most important days of a person's life. It's vital that the words you choose to use are the right ones, whether it's the vows, a speech, or a toast. Love and hope are hard to put into words even at the easiest of moments and so poetry to quote can be a huge help when preparing what you plan to say. Poems can be used during the wedding ceremony itself, or during speeches and toasts. They can also be used on favors or invitations created before the wedding.

ee cummings - i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

William Shakespeare - Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Sara Teasdale - Peace

Peace flows into me
As the tide to the pool by the shore;
It is mine forevermore.
I am the pool of blue
That worships the vivid sky;
My hopes are heaven-high,
They are all fulfilled in you.
I am the pool of gold
When sunset burns and dies '"
You are my deepening skies;
Give me your stars to hold.

Anne Bradstreet - To My Dear and Loving Husband

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife were happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than 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 persevere
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
