how can my pageboy lose it
when he has such a pretty bowl to hold?

For our rings of white gold
To shine on the day

waiting to be told.

Down by the sea, we hope its not cold,
Gleaming in the sun two rings of gold,
Forever we’ll be, to have and to hold.
My Lover, My Life

You make me better, this is clear.
This love cannot be sold.

To have and to hold you,
Such a feeling all the way through.

Despite being together for a long while!

Laughter, hugs and tears

Infinitely more precious than gold.

A ring bearer’s bowl inscribed with to have and to hold – at first sight I fell
Paloma’s Nest would make me the happiest wedding belle!
Looking our best,
In front of a 130 guests,
Together we will grow old,
Forever yours, To Have and To Hold
I have finally found my soul mate,
We will be married in May,
I know when we met it was fate,
He has given me a place for my heart to lay.
He is a man of many things,
He has beauty, and he is bold,
He is my heart and he is my King,
Forever mine, to have and to hold.
But even in my dreams, I still feel cold,
knowing your not mine to have and to hold.
Take my hands, Take my eyes,
’cause I need them no more,
If never again they fall upon,
The one I so adore.
To have and to hold
Our hearts are now sold
On our wedding day
We vow to love each other
Today
Tomorrow
Forever and
Always
I cannot eat that cake,
it is covered in mold.
It is only good now,
to have and to hold.
To have & to hold,
From youth ’till we’re old
Our troth do we give
For as long as we live
k, embarrased-too too late
tiny little feet, will have this to hold, branding me and him until we’re both very old.
To have and to hold,
Till we grow old,
The burning in my heart,
Will never grow cold…
