Hands
These are the hands of your best friend. Young,
strong, and full of love for you, that are holding yours on
your wedding day as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow,
and forever.
These are the hands that will work along side
yours, as together you build your future. These are the hands
that will passionately love you and cherish you through the
years, and that with the slightest touch, will comfort you like
no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when
fear or grief wracks your mind These are the hands that will,
countless times, wipe the tears from your eyes. Tears of sorrow
and tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold
your children. These are the hands that will help you hold your
family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength
when you need it.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when
wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving
you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

This is a poem that many couples like to use
at the ceremony. If you choose to use it, I can make you a nice
copy as a keepsake.
