by Kuan Tao-Sheng (1262-1319)

You and I
Have so much love
That it
Burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.
Then we take both of them,
And break them into pieces,
And mix the pieces with water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.
I am in your clay.
You are in my clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share one bed.

Many couples wish to write their own wedding vows, but aren't sure where to start. If you find that you're also having some trouble with this task, then I would suggest you take a look at the Instant Wedding Vows Package. It provides you with everything that you need to write your own personal, sentimental, and well-thought out wedding vow rather than having to recite the traditional biblical vows used at many weddings.
