The Marriage is Made Holy

The_Married_Couple.JPG


Already registered,

The marriage bond is solemnised

With vows that bind more fast

Than five bold signatures in the register.

 

Bound by love

In promises that will outlast

The fading of a mere piece

Of certifying paper.

 

God has joined together,

So no man puts asunder

This man and wife made one

In perfect, holy matrimony.
