Thanks for the love

Dear wedding,

I'm flying in circles around your perfection
Attempting to include you in my every afterthought without overwhelming my heart

You took us in
You held us
Danced with us
Smiled and laughed with us
You howled at the moon and swayed in the river breeze

You brought us together

You sang sweet music
You said 'let's do it' and in she came
More beautiful then ever
You made peace with the grass and the sky
You asked them to hold her
To lift her up

You fed us and sheltered us and gave us drink

You were an afternoon
An evening
A day
A lifetime
An idea
A promise
You were everyone and everything we love

Thanks for the people
The smiles
The tears
The hope

Thanks for the community
The family
The honesty
The promise

Thanks for the future
The memories
The potential
The life

Thanks for the love
