I give this woman, Clayton
To be your wedded wife.
My last child, my precious daughter
To forever share your life.
I give her unreservedly
For I know you realize
How deep and strong and gentle
Shines the love within her eyes.
Please take the love she offers,
It's deeply rooted in her heart.
And know she'll always cherish
The tender love that you impart.
I give this woman, Clayton
In ivory satin, pearls and lace.
Amid love songs and scented flowers,
A gentle glow upon her face.
Take her moods and sensitivity,
Give her wings so she can fly.
As you take the time to know her
Your wants and needs she won't deny.
I give this woman, Clayton
How I wish her Daddy knew!
He'd said no man was good enough,
He's missed the joy of knowing you.
I feel so blessed and grateful
For the training that you had,
The special molding and direction
Given by your Mom and Dad.
I give this woman, Clayton
Remain steadfast by her side.
I'm so thankful God is once again
The Father of the bride.
1996, for my daughter, Angela.

Beatuiful. Happy Anniversary Angela and Clayton....
Love you
I was just tinking of their anniversary last night. Happy Anniversary Angela and Clayton. There have never been 2 people better suited for each other. I love you both!
Thank you for the post! I love that poem.
That is one crazy picture of us at the farm.
What a beautiful poem! I've never read it. They are the perfect couple and the perfect family and for that I am so grateful because growing up all I ever wanted was for my little Clayboy to be happy. And Angela IS the ONE that makes him happy. So thank you for raising such a terrific girl!!----Now can you convince them to move back to Texas??
Oh, by the way, where's Part Three??? I'm hooked and must hear/read the whole story!
Cristal...the poem was in the wedding program...don't you remember it cover-to-cover 11 years later? :) Thank you for such a nice compliment--Clayton makes me very happy, too!
AWWWW!!!!!
