" Into man God blew the breath of life
For a mate and a companion
God created woman to be man's wife
Flesh of man's flesh
Bone of man's bone
A good thing, a joy
For man's heart and his home
A vessel by which man
His kind could multiply
And in honoring his wife
Show honor to God
And find favor in God's eye."

Special Song--"With You" by Tony Terry
When I'm with you, I hear a sound
That makes me laugh and smile and sing to you
When I'm with you, I feel so free
I feel that love is going to take control of me
When I'm with you
It's for real [It's for real]
What I feel [What I feel]
When I'm with you [You], uh-huh
When I'm with you, I wonder why
People do stop and stare and smile at us
When I'm with you, the sun shines my way
Baby, our love reflects its rays of light on everyone in the world
When I'm with you
It's for real [It's for real]
What I feel [What I feel]
When I'm with you [You], Hey, hey, hey
Uh-huh [Special touch, a warm embrace]
A sweet and tender, your smile, whoa
Body warm my heart, so pure
Chills when I look, look in your eyes

Favorite romantic poem or quote.
Song "I knew I loved you" by Savage Garden
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
A little crazy but I believe
Chorus
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
