When choosing a ceremony reading, ideally, it should be a reflection of you and your partner's relationship. Do you want to go with a traditional excerpt? Or would you prefer to include a verse from a song, movie, or book that means something to you both?  This wedding ceremony reading may be short and sweet, but it certainly hits all the right notes. The author of Two Hearts as One remains unknown, however, the wording suggests that it was penned many moons ago. Some people consider the use of rhyme to be somewhat cheesy and lacking in sentiment. One read of this and you'll be convinced otherwise.

Two Hearts As One

To one and all this verse imparts, a welcome, warm, with happy hearts.
For on this day will be united two people sharing love requited.
Their lives have known both joy and pain, but overall their pledge will reign.
Unto each other thus to give, the strength and trust by which to live.
Together now they both shall stand, to face the future hand in hand.
And constant as the sky above, their guiding light will be their love.
And so, this hour, begins their life of happiness as man and wife.
And all who stand beneath the sun bear witness now, the two are one.
