A Way With Words

Every bride wants her invitations to be a unique expression of her special day. This can be accomplished through color schemes, artwork and enclosures - but it can also be expressed through verse. Whether your wedding is classic or whimsical, casual or formal, there is a verse out there especially for you. The following are some of my favorites. Some of them are tried and true, and others are less well known. I hope these will inspire you when you are working with your invitation vendor! If you decide to use one of these quotes on your invitations or programs, be sure to credit the original author.

I know that you are not perfect and nor can I claim to be either, but please believe me, when I say that I want to be by your side, to hold your hand, to treasure you in the morning and in the noon-tide, to be next to you, to be held close to your heart now and for the rest of my living years, to comfort you, dry your tears and calm your most frightening fears, to fight your battles and show no shame to scream my love for you out loud all over the land.
