I am the maid of honor at my best friend's wedding. I have to make a speech. I remember coming across a love poem written specifically for a wedding day in one of Linda's books. I'm moving and don't have all of my Linda books out...and I can't seem to find it.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Can anyone help?

Thanks!

MM-
I think you mean the "Blessing for a Marriage", which she included in the back of Relationship Signs.
She didn't write it, but merely reccomended it....

May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring,
and may life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding.
May you always need one another--
not so much to fll your emptiness as to help you to know your fullness.
A mountain needs a valley to be complete;
the valley does not make the mountain less but more;
the valley is more a valey because it has a mountain towering over it.
So let it be with you and you.
May you need one another, but not out of weakness.
May you want one another, but not out of lack.
May you entice one another, but not compel one another.
May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another.
May you succeed in all important ways with one another, and not fail in little graces.
May you look for things to praise, often say, "I love you!"
and take no notice of small faults.
If you have quarrels that puch you apart
May both of you hope to have good sense enough to take the first step back.
May you enter into the mystery which is the awareness of one another's presence--
no more physical than siritual, warm and near when you are side by side,
and warm and near when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.
May you have happiness, and may you find it making one another happy.
May you have love, and may you find it loving one another!
Thank You, God,
for your presence here with us
and Your blessing on this marriage.
Amen.
-JAMES DILLET FREEMAN

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for!

Thank you VAA!

LOL. Turns out my office mate read that exact poem at her sister-in-laws wedding last weekend!
