"Song for a Wedding (Exclusively, I Love You)"

by Jeph Johnson

 

To 
Arouse a latent heart
And leave a watermark
That cannot be negated

 

God 
Patterned so long ago,
Brilliant and all aglow,
The perfect ceremony

 

You 
Transform my fantasy,
Reveal the mystery
Beneath your veil to honor

 

Soon 

Anointed man and wife,
Granted eternal life
To rest upon this promise

 

Paired 
Together we impart
True love this day we start
United in our journey

 

Here 
Gathered in front of me,
Our friends and family
To witness this decision

 

Life 
Is fully realized
Just looking in your eyes
I celebrate the future

 

These 

Three words I pledge to you

Become privileged to you

Exclusively "I love you"
