Happily Ever After

A marriage is a promise of friendship,
a promise of shelter, 

shared dreams and stars in your eyes.  

A marriage is a promise of love, 

a promise to offer a heart, 

a helping hand and a shoulder to lean on.  

A marriage is a promise to laugh, 

to enjoy one another 

and value each other as partners.  

A marriage is a promise—

the beautiful and lasting promise 

to live “happily ever after.”
