In a white dress,
Glowing with love,
You cross the sand
To take the hand
Of the man you love.
A radiant Aphrodite.
The waves and sand
In their eternal dance
Swirl at your feet,
As under the azure sky
Of the Greek gods
You make your vows
To love and cherish;
And to dance
On the beach of Life
Together,
For as long as the waves
Dance on the shore.
You two began your dance
Sometime ago.
Life already threw sharp stones
And rocky shores;
But Love’s feet are light
And you danced
Above those rocks
Together.
The warmth of your love
Wraps us in a rich, glowing pride,
When you take each other’s hand,
Look into each other’s eyes
And walk into your future,
Proud groom and glowing bride.
May your love forever smooth all rocky shores
And may your feet forever dance lightly
To the rhythm of your love
As you journey across Life’s beach
Together.
