We bid you help us celebrate
A day of pomp and pride
On which we tie a nuptial knot
We previously untied.

Our love has proven stronger than
The years of storm and strife;
Stronger still and wiser, we,
For having lived that life.

There is in this a sign of hope
For lovers all, for love,
Though forced to run the gauntlet grim,
May yet resilient prove.
