Just Married!

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says, "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend." Love, friendship and companion forever are three wishes that can be granted as a sweet present – Wedding.

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies" says Aristotle. Indeed, it is very difficult to express love in any other words. "Will you merry me?" is statement full of expressions and emotions that delights lovers’ hearts after listening "I love you". It is fact - Successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Marriage is holy relation to couple two loving hearts and to marry you need love.

Let’s marry!

In the presence of God our Creator and before these witnesses, I ask you, Will you take who stands beside you, as your wife?

I will.

Will you love and honour her and be faithful to her for better, for worse, until death do you part?

I will.

Likewise I ask you, Will you take who stands beside you as your husband?

I will.

Will you love and honour him and be faithful to him for better, for worse, until death do you part?

I will.

Then join your hands as a sign of this.

In the presence of God and before these witnesses you have promised each other that you will live together in matrimony, and have joined your hands as a sign of this. I therefore declare that you lawfully are husband and wife.


Reading itself gives immense pleasure to our hearts. That’s joy and magic in words of "Weddings". But everything needs to be with down-to-earth proceeding although love is hidden for every task. People get stuck with wedding ceremonies. When two hearts meets among crowd, crowd needs to be handled. And that’s what called "Wedding Planning".
