Reading at my cousin's wedding ceremony... What the heck should I say?

write a poem about love, about a lifetime together, of family and values, trust and honesty, about sticking by each others side through anything, good and bad, making memories together and how they were ment to be together, how they found each other. Write a poem about them and the life they are starting together, they will love it and then frame it and give it to them at the wedding!

We had this read at our wedding. :)

Union

by Robert Fulghum

You have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way. All those conversations that were held riding in a car or over a meal or during long walks – all those sentences that began with “When we’re married” and continued with “I will and you will and we will”- those late night talks that included “someday” and “somehow” and “maybe” – and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart. All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, “you know all those things we’ve promised and hoped and dreamed – well, I meant it all, every word.” Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another – acquaintance, friend, companion, and even teacher. Now you shall say a few words that take you across a threshold of life, and things will never quite be the same between you. For after these vows, you shall say to the world, this is my husband, this is my wife.

Select two or three of your published poems that you think might work, and talk to your cousin about them. She might select one; if not she'll at least give you a better sense of what they want.
