Consummate
For K. P. and S. C.

On this blessed date
We have come
Together
To consummate
The undying love of
These two persons.
Do you
Take this woman
To love her, honor her, and cherish her
Forever,
Even when this eve is
Over?
Do you swear,
This night of blessed tears
You will melt into
One another and be
Born again?
Tonight, do you promise to
Sweat, suffer sweetly, and
Die within her
Tonight?
On your honor,
Both your honor,
Will you hold each other
Afterwards, and fear the
Anticipation of a God's
Greatest gift.
A sun, burning brighter
Than all of heaven's stars?
And do you,
Take this man,
To touch him and let him know
He did not hurt you as
Badly as he might think.
Promise you will count his tears
Keep them in a jar
Savor them
When he is gone.

Swear you will love Her as you have loved Me.
Swear He will be your all.
Love Him like you never thought was possible
So far.
