Great Advice for Romantic Poems on Wedding Anniversary

May 29, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

Not everyone has a natural gift for words. If you’re one of these people, it’s okay. You have plenty of other talents. When it comes to doing something nice to celebrate either your own anniversary, or the anniversary of someone you love, you  don’t have to string together your own words and hope that they not only form something that makes sense, but which also comes from the heart. Instead of coming up with a toast, email, or short anecdote, you can take advantage of one of the hundreds poems on wedding anniversary that have been penned by poets who know exactly what you want to say.

Pick the Perfect Poems on Wedding Anniversary

Since you have hundreds of poems on wedding anniversary to choose from, picking the perfect poem can be a bit overwhelming. Instead of focusing on the enormous numbers of poems you need to read through, you should spend some time thinking about the couple you’re going to give the poem to. Sit down and really think about what their love means to you. Don’t forget the relationship you share with the person. An anniversary poem for your parent’s anniversary party won’t be the same as the one you decide to give your spouse when you celebrate your own wedding anniversary.

Read the Poems on Wedding Anniversary Out Loud

If you’re going to be using the poems on wedding anniversary as part of a celebratory toast at an anniversary party, you don’t want to pick one out that looks like it sounds good. You need to read it out load. Reading the poem out loud does two things. The first thing you’ll discover will be that sometimes the words don’t sound the same as they did in your head. The other thing speaking the poem does will give you an idea about the rhythm and cadence. The smoother the poem’s rhythm, the easier it will be to read, and the more romantic it will sound.

Poems on Wedding Anniversary Become a Treasured Memento

One of the great things about using poems on wedding anniversary is that it doesn’t just have to be something that you use for a toast. You can make sure that the poem, and the memory of yourself reading it, stays close the to the recipients heart long after the anniversary has passed, by printing the poem on some good quality stationary, and having it placed in a very nice frame. Including a photo of the couple will be a nice touch. You can present the framed poem to the couple, or your spouse, after you’ve read it out loud.

Romantic Wedding Anniversary Verses

December 27, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

Romantic wedding anniversary verses can come in handy for many uses. They can be included on anniversary cards, in speeches or in programs that may be printed for various wedding anniversary celebrations.

As you begin your search for the perfect wedding anniversary verses, you will find that there are so many of them that the biggest problem might be narrowing them down to choose your favorites. Below you will find a list of places to find romantic wedding anniversary verses followed by some examples.

Where to Look

The Bible

This might come as a surprise to some, but the Bible is full of very romantic verses and flowery words that fit perfectly in a wedding anniversary card or speech. If you do not know the Bible very well then you will need some help in locating these verses.

Happily, there are many Web sites that have done the work for you. A quick internet search for “romantic Bible verses” is a good place to start. You can also search a topical Bible under the topic of love to find some additional appropriate verses.

Poetry

“How do I love thee? Let me count the way…” Elizabeth Barrett Browning may be one of the most well-known author or romantic verses, but she is not the only one. Hundreds of books of romantic poetry have been published. Some are, of course, much more well-known than others. Spend an afternoon in the bookstore poring over some lesser-known works. This will help you find some wedding anniversary verses that many guests will not have heard before.

Literature

Many great works of literature also contain verses that will lend themselves perfectly to a wedding anniversary celebration. As is the case with poetry, an internet search is a good place to start. Try doing a search for “romantic literature quotes”. Of course, if you are a heavy reader, you may already have some favorites!

Examples

From the Bible

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine. – Song of Solomon 1:2

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. – Song of Solomon 8:6

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love – 1 Corinthians 13:13

From Poetry

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng.

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

-Excerpt from Beautiful Dreamer, Stephen Foster

The sense of the world is short,
Long and various the report,
To love and be beloved;
Men and gods have not outlearned it,
And how oft soe’er they’ve turned it,
‘Tis not to be improved.

-Eros, Ralph Waldo Emerson

From Literature

You are my heart, my life, my one and only thought. –Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The White Company

That quiet mutual gaze of a trusting husband and wife is like the first moment of rest or refuge from a great weariness or a great danger–not to be interfered with by speech or action which would distract the sensations from the fresh enjoyment of repose. -George Eliot, Silas Marner

Love is in all things a most wonderful teacher. -Charles Dickens: Our Mutual Friend

Longing

By Matthew Arnold

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Come, as thou cam’st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me!

Or, as thou never cam’st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth,
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say, My love why sufferest thou?

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

 

A Red, Red Rose

By Robert Burns

Oh my luve is like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June:
Oh my luve is like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!

 

She Walks in Beauty

By Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
