Thank you – these are really inspiring words. I absolutely adore Irish Wedding Blessings – here is two of my absolute favorites :

May God be with you and bless you
May you see your children’s children
May you be poor in misfortune
Rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May your grass always be green
May your skies forever blue
May God Bless the Irish
And may God bless you!

I have some more beautiful Irish Wedding Blessing at http://www.weddingspeechesandtoasts.net that I’m sure you’ll find inspiring and romantic!

Thank you for the lovely sonnet you shared with us and for sharing your views here, too. Obedience wasn’t mentioned in my post or my marriage vows, but if it’s something you’ve given your husband willingly and you are both as happy as my husband I are, then I’m truly happy for you.

At our wedding, my brother read a Shakespeare sonnet that I loved:

———
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
——————

I liked it because it made us think about our vows of staying committed to each other over time, regardless of how we age and change, and also because of the line about a marriage of true minds.
