Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today at this aisle

Just one narrow aisle

25 short steps, 25 footfalls

One foot in front of the other

The longest aisle you will ever walk

A pathway of laughter, tears

A journey through years

Together

Good, bad, sickness, health

First steps, last breaths

And all that lies in between

To join

Join, intertwine

Yoke together, tether, bind

This man and this woman

Adam and Eve

Venus and Mars

Opposite attraction

Chemical reaction

Passions burning

From the birth of the flame

To the dying of the embers

The first kiss, the last dance

And everything in between

Dearly beloved we are gathered here today at this aisle

Just one narrow aisle
