Our forever & happily ever after start today,
with our loved ones witnessing our special day.
My future will now be tied to yours,
as we substitute mine with ours.
Yesterday’s bitter sorrows have become today’s sweet love.
In you I have found my treasure trove.
Our love is a garland I wear proudly,
so it may announce itself to the world loudly.
Remarkably we found each other in this global village.
Calling you mine is an honour & a privilege.
Before you love eluded my eager grasp.
Now it shall never escape my tight clasp.
This ring betokens the promises I intend to keep.
Wholeheartedly sans wavering I take this leap.
