Original Wedding Toasts – Groom to Bride, Bride to Groom

Happiness

When I was poor,

too poor to buy you candies or fresh flowers,

We still shared the moon.

You taught me that happiness is a chain reaction of love.

One who has awakened to love does not cling to lesser things.

Golden Heart

With infinite affection,

and infinite care,

and a golden heart.

You have taught me,

when you bring forth the love within you,

it transforms you.

I Have Become Whole

In your love is my peace,

it is the sea into which all currents flow,

for all eternity.

Through your love I have healed myself,

and thus I have become whole.

One Hidden Thing

Everything is made of one hidden thing.

It flows through all things, inside and outside.

It is only with the heart that this thing can be seen.

This thing called love.

Darkness of the Ages

First I had to learn to trust my own judgement,

Then I had to find the courage to follow true love’s path.

Now, the darkness of the ages cannot hide love's brilliant light.

Silence

In every relationship, silence is the greatest teacher.

The Look of Love

When you look for love,

love is in the look of your eyes.

My Promise to You

Awareness of every thought and feeling,

understanding of every motive,

allowing love to blossom.

This is my promise to you.

Just to Love

Just to be is a blessing.

Just to love is holy.

Searching for What I Already Had

For some time I was a person riding an ox, looking for an ox to ride on.

I’m happy to have finally come to my senses.

The Raindrop

For the raindrop, joy is entering the river.

For the lover, joy is being in love.

Like the raindrop,

May our love soar up to the sky above,

And last forever.

Ture Lover

The true lover rises and sleeps, works and plays, buys and

sells, and never forgets the love for a single moment

My Wife

Instead of running from one desire to another,

It is better to stop and examine the nature of desire.

You, my wife, are my whole love and desire.

You are all mine, and I all yours.

I Will Surrender

May we never argue,

But if we argue,

I promise to you that I will surrender,

I will surrender so that we may both win.

Cleverness

I’m happy that I finally sold my cleverness to buy enchanment in your arms.

Here’s to the wings of love: May they never lose a feather.

Compassion

Compassion is the essence of marriage.

To my bride: she knows all about me and loves me just the same.

Here's to the woman that rules my heart.
