The Beauty of Starting a Life Together

   Together they embark, a new life begun
   Through every trial, every joy in store
   Forever together, now and forevermore

   All the way
   And hell go with me down to the river
   Where we will stand in judgment on the day
   (from "The Sweet By and By" by Joseph P. Webster and Sanford F. Bennett)

The Power of Love Through the Years

   And cherish the love that binds us all
   (from "Growing Old Together" by Karen Clodfelder)

   (from "Love Eternal" by Catherine Pulsifer)

   What my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove

   (from "Within My Power" by Forest Witcraft)

   And cherish each other, through every surprise
   (from "The Journey of Love" by Laura Ding-Edwards)

   One who challenges us to grow, to reach new heights

   And learn to love each other through it all
   (from "A Partner for Life" by Unknown)
3. The giving tree, the noble name
   It offers shade and shelter from the rain
   It gives its fruits, its leaves, its limbs
   All for the sake of love, beyond all whims
