Vows for Wedding Guests
Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here
To bear witness
To the end
Of our place
As number one
Is this couple’s life
To affirm their choice
To put each other first
In all things
Until death do them part
We vow to step aside
To demote ourselves
To respect and recognize
We will never again be
Their most beloved
For as long as we all shall live
And we promise to honor this
Because though it be an end for us
For them it is their beginning
The same start to a life
We once asked others to celebrate
We will be steadfast in our gratitude
For allowing these people we love
To love each other
They do not love us less
They love each other more
We are proud to be less important
Because we know that for them to thrive
This is exactly as it should be
We promise to remain
On the sidelines
Eternally supporting
Never controlling
Or breaking boundaries
Just cheering them on
Into their happily ever after
