"WITH THIS RING"
The ring is the beginning of a lifetime
Something you won't receive everyday
It helps to show love for each other
Like so many other ways.


It will bring you closer together
The day you are made into one
Your love will grow even stronger
Because you've only just begun.


God brought you two together
You are a chapter in His master plan
The ring is a way of showing
The love between a woman and a man.


The ring means "I really love you"
More than any words can say
The ring is a token from deep inside
To say, "I love you when I am away".


Always love and cherish it
It means so many wonderful things
Yes, like the memories of a lifetime
As you hear the wedding bells ring. 





MAY YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER


The love for each other you feel, 
As this dream that you've shared 
Is about to become real. 
As you start out together 


There's a special joy
in whatever you do, 
May your love for each other 
Help you reach for your dreams 
...and make them all come true! 


As the love in your hearts 
Is revealed in each vow, 
May you always remember 
The joy you feel now! 


Today is the beginning 
Of uniting two souls as one,
Being friends and staying lovers
As your role of husband & wife has begun! 


May you always be guided 
By our Heavenly Father above,
Just as long as you trust 
In each other's vows of love! 


May you always remember 
To understand and accept each other, 
And may your only need in life 
Be the need for each other!








A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.  When we feel safe enought to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be.  Each unveils the best part of the other.  


No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person, we're safe in our own paradise.  Our soulmate is some who shares our deepest ongings, our sense of direction. 











My love is as boundless as the sea,
my love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite





I already love in your beauty, but I am only beginning to love in you that which is eternal and ever precious ~ your heart, your soul.


Beauty one can get to know and fall in love with in one hour and cease to love it as speedily; but the soul one must learn to know.





When we're two balloons, and togeather our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person.








Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.




Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward, together, in the same direction








To the world, you may be one person; but to one person, you may be the world!








I WANT TO KNOW


~:It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.


~: It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.


~: It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals, or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.


~: I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own; without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.


~: I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness, and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes; without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being Human.


~: It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal, and not betray your own soul.


~: I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore, be trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it is not pretty every day; and if I can source your life from God's presence.


~: I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon: "Yes"!


~: It doesn't interest me to know where you live, or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.


~: It doesn't interest me who you are, or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me, and not shrink back.


~: It doesn't interest me where, or what, or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside, when all else falls away.


~: I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.





WEDDING PRANKS 


The wedding date was set and the groom's three pals - a carpenter, an electrician and a dentist were deciding what pranks to play on the couple on their wedding night. 


The carpenter figured sawing the slats of their bed would give them a chuckle or two. 


The electrician decided to wire the bed - with alternating current, of course. 


The dentist wouldn't commit himself, but wore a sly grin and promised it would be memorable. 


The nuptials went as planned and a few days later, each of the groom's buddies received the following note: 


DEAR FRIENDS, WE DIDN'T MIND THE BED SLATS BEING SAWED. THE ELECTRIC SHOCK WAS ONLY A MINOR SETBACK. BUT I SWEAR, I'M GOING TO KILL WHOEVER PUT NOVACAINE IN THE K-Y JELLY!"











KIDS VIEWS ON: MARRIAGE


HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? 


You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. - Alan, age 10 


No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're 
stuck with. - Kirsten, age 10 





WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED? 
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. - Camille, age 10 





No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. - Freddie, age 6 





HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? 


You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. - Derrick, age 8 





WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON? 


Both don't want any more kids. - Lori, age 8 





WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE? 


Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. - Lynnette, age 8 





On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. - Martin, age 10 





WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR? 


I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. - Craig, age 9 





WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?


When they're rich. - Pam, age 7 





The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. - Curt, age 7 





The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. - Howard, age 8 




IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? 


It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. - Anita, age 9 





HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? 


There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? - Kelvin, age 8 





HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? 


Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck.

GOING FOR THE GOLD 


The man came home drunk at four in the morning, and his wife was all over him, yelling at him, crying because she thought he was with another woman. 


"No, honey, I swear, I was at this bar, and it was so fancy that even the urinals were made of gold." 
She said she didn't believe him so she called the bar. "Hello," she said, "I just want to ask one question. My husband claims to have spent the night at your bar and I have one question; are your urinals covered in gold?" 


To which she heard the bartender say, "Hey, Clarence, I think we found the guy who peed in your saxophone."   











THE MORAL OF LIFE'S STORY IS..... 


Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident. Who was the survivor? (Scroll down for the answer.)

The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.

So, if there no Santa Claus, then we know that the man must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident. By the way, if you're a man and you're reading this, this illustrates another point: men never listen either. 





Teamwork 


"If you'll make the toast and pour the juice, Sweetheart," said the newlywed bride, "breakfast will be ready." "Good, what are we having for breakfast?" asked the new husband. "Toast and juice," she replied.
