GOD with honour hang your head,
Groom, and grace you, bride, your bed
With lissome scions, sweet scions,
Out of hallowed bodies bred.
Each be other’s comfort kind:
Déep, déeper than divined,
Divine charity, dear charity,
Fast you ever, fast bind.
Then let the march tread our ears:
I to him turn with tears
Who to wedlock, his wonder wedlock,
Déals tríumph and immortal years.
--Gerard Manley Hopkins, "At the Wedding March"
Happy Anniversary, Darling.

Happy Anniversary to the two happiest married people I've EVER known! You are a beacon for the rest of us.
Congratulations to you both! Many more happy years ahead!
Congratulations! And what a lovely tribute.
Did you write that?:) Thank you my love. It seems like just yesterday while seeming like forever all at once.
"Each be other's comfort kind." Yes. That would be your marriage.
Congratulations to you both.
Happy Anniversary. A wonderful poem to honour the day and your commitment to each other.
Congratulations!
Is it just me or does your husband bear a bit of a resemblance to Wil Ferrell in this picture?
Happy, happy anniversary!
Congratulations! Many more happy years to come, I'm sure.
HAHA! YOU'RE SO CUTE!!!!!! Happy Anni. I know I'm late, but hey... now my comment will stand out. Or something...
(Perhaps the thing that struck me most about this post, besides how stinking cute you two are, is that you got all the accent marks in all the right places in the poem. I'm not good at making accent marks on the computer. I'm insanely impressed right now.)
:-D
Beautiful.
You. The poem. And the sentiment.
Congratulations!
Whew! I thought Blogger was going to totally prevent me from leaving any more comments here; I got "could not connect" errors yesterday afternoon. Apparently all is well now. And for the last (and next) eighteen years, yes?
Congratulations!
:-D
