engagement poems


For the wonderful couple,
Who have made the first step
To commit their lives together
For the future that lies ahead
May all of God’s blessings
Abound toward you,
Now and for always
As you prepare to say “I do”.



Take this time before
The big wedding day
To understand and know
The vows that you will say
To love one another
And accept each other too
To look unto the Lord,
Who joins the two of you
He knows the future
He has for both of you
As you walk this road together
In love and in truth.



The time of preparation
For the day that is to come
Is often filled with rushing
To get everything done
But take some time out
From all the fuss and bother
To focus on God
And your love for each other.



The time of being engaged
Is a time to reflect
On what marriage really is
And the vows we can’t forget
It’s not just the wedding
That we need to be prepared,
But the life-long marriage
In the years that lie ahead.



Young and tender hearts
Filled with hopes and dreams
Of building up a future
Together as a team
Always look to God
For He holds you both
Faith is your foundation
With love, peace and hope.




As you both prepare
For the big day ahead
When you say your ‘I do’s’
And the love you will pledge
May this time right now
Be happy and blessed
And may you find love
In God’s tenderness.



For the couple who receive
Today and every day
The blessings of the Lord
That will surely never fade
May your lives be like a garden
With every precious seed
To help you in your life
With everything you need
May the fruit of that seed
Be seen by everyone
That they may know through you
What God’s love has done.




God has brought your lives together
So you won’t live alone,
But together build a firm foundation
On which you can build your home
And together as you prepare for the day
When you vow to love each other
Respect and honour the God-given gifts
And the potential in one another
For God has created you both to have
A united cause and vision
For as you are truly joined as one,
 You’ll be more effective for Him.
