Two souls now joined in time,

with love’s candle guiding them here.

Their union sealed by faith,

and kissed by Venus –

Whispering a simple promise

to hold them forever in her arms.

For love knows no ego or self,

but seeks only to lift the other –

Painting its colours across the sky

in silver and white

for all to celebrate

love’s newest journey –

An affirmation of love’s promise

to stand firm in the calm, and in the storm.

These two souls now complete,

their hearts entrusted with care –

Joined forever on this day

to write love’s next chapter.

Each word filled with certainty,

for love’s candle will always burn brightest.

“Love embraces with tender arms. You are the purpose and the intent.”

A poem written for my beautiful sister and her husband who were wed on July 22nd, 2017. This post is a celebration of their love.

My sister is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, and is always so supportive of everyone around her. I probably don’t tell her enough, but I’m honored to call her my sister. Love you, sis!

I’d also like to take this opportunity to wish my sister and new brother-in-law a life filled with joy and prosperity. For in love, we discover all the riches that this world has to offer. The infinite beauty of this world is found in the love within our hearts, and connects us all to one another.

Love is a universal celebration of life. So please join me as I toast this beautiful union between my sister and brother-in-law. May they enjoy many years of celebration.

Here’s to a beautiful couple! Congratulations, and cheers to you both!
