A Wedding Poem

Adam gave his rib, so that Eve would have life.
God then gave Eve to Adam to be his wife.
Joining them together, let no man separate
The sign of their covenant is when they consummate

Marriage is more than vows and rings
It is more than promises and ceremonies
It is the mysterious blending of two separate lives,
The creation of God, in joining a man to his wife.

Now there will be days of uncertainty,
disagreements and even strife
But remember that what God brings together,
it is meant for the whole of life.
There are not many things that I can promise you,
but this is one
Make Jesus the treasure of your heart
and you will have a happy home

So tonight we have gather together to celebrate and sing
Not just the marriage of Cacey and Megan,
but to our risen King
Who loved us and died for us,
so that we might see,
That through faith in Jesus
we are made alive, in Him, eternally.

Now let me end by pronouncing this blessing upon you
“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, And the love of God the Father,
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you.”
[1]

“May the Lord bless you, and keep you;
And make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you;
And lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace”
[2]

[2] Numbers 6:24-26
