Wedding Invitation

I wonder how many of you thought I was inviting you to a renewal of vows for me and Josh? :) I really just want to share my wedding invitation with my blogging family. Pam wrote a fun blog on weddings- bests/worsts. I shared with her that one of my favorites parts of my wedding was that my grandpa wrote our invitations. So, I thought it would be cool to share this wonderful poem with those of you who haven't had the chance to read it.

I have a vision in my mind, a grander one no man can find.

There's a knitted cap on a wee blonde head, a snow-white sweater, and a skirt plaid red.

The wearer scarcely measures to the knee, but a prettier lass you'll never see.

I walk along, she runs beside, I'm a beaming out with pride.

I pick her up and hug her tight, and pledge to keep her in my sight.

Twenty years now come to pass, I've another vision of the lass.

You can't imagine how she's grown, with a touch of magic all her own.

She wears a gown with frilly lace, a veil of net surrounds her face.

Those gorgeous blossoms everywhere, with her beauty can't compare.

Arm-in-arm we'll walk down the aisle, I only wish I could tarry awhile.

But a handsome lad is standing near, outwardly showing signs of fear.

He has sacred vows to say, and I must give the bride away.

Now, Dear God, we boldly ask, provide the strength for each his task.

Please, oh Lord, we know you can pour out Your blessings on our clan.

You have the power, wisdom, grace, to lead us through life's joyful race.

May Your love with us remain. We give You praise in our Savior's name.

Amen

My wonderful "Pa" wrote the invites to my sister's weddings also, maybe they should share their's too. :) I also wanted to add that my amazing husband is a beautiful writer. He actually asked me to marry him in a poem he wrote to me, he also wrote all three of our chidren a poem before they were born. They are tear jerkers. I have asked him if I could share them and he says "No" (he's too shy) maybe I'll break him down someday.
