Poem #1

For many centuries,
the White Dove has been an emblem
of Peace, Love and New Beginnings.

As a symbolic gesture,
to seal their marriage vows,
(bride and groom) are now going to release
these two pure white birds.

The Doves will fly upwards
and circle above us a few times,
then fly home together, as a pair.

This symbolizes our newly wed couple
setting off on their journey in life together,
in harmony.

(Bride and groom), we wish for you,
that your life together will be long, rich and rewarding.

May your marriage carry with it
all the wonderful qualities
that the White Dove represents.


Poem #2

As you begin your new journey as husband and wife,
let this pair of doves symbolize the love and devotion
that will grow through your years together.

The memory of these two of nature's creatures,
who bond together for life,
will serve as inspiration as you both go forth --
travelling a path started by two,
and combining as one
with a never ending love for one another.

The Legend of the Doves

One the Lord of Heaven chose two doves, both young and fair
and told them of a very special journey they would share.

"Go now upon the earth and seek two hearts where you may dwell,
and there I shall surely come and make my home with
you as well. We'll join the two and make them one. A Husband and a Wife,
my spirit will endow their love with everlasting life."
Today the Doves still bring the sacred promise from above,
to those whose hearts are open to the miracle of love.


Poem #4

On Wings of Love
these white birds are a symbol of
a public confession of true love.

Spreading news for all to see,
this marriage is made of Peace,
Harmony and Unity.

White winged messengers,
set free today,
are sent with blessings that
will never fade away.

Dove Poem

Two doves meeting in the sky
Two loves hand in hand, eye to eye
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul

Two stars shining big and bright
Two fires bringing warmth and light
Two songs played in perfect tune
Two flowers growing into bloom

Two Doves gliding in the air
Two loves free without a care
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul
