On our wedding day on August 20, 1988, my brother-in-law (Trevor) toasted us with a poem from Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Although I can't remember the exact poem, I thought I would post a more famous one from Elizabeth. Darin, this is for you. I love you more today than the day I married you. Happy Anniversary!
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
