And landed in our Arms,
With all of Mummy's Sweetness
And all of Daddy's charm

Babies are Angels
That fly to the earth,
Their wings disappear
at the time of their birth.
One look in their eyes
And we're never the same

And that part has a name.
That part is your heart
And a bond that won't sever,
Our Babies are Angels,
We love them forever.

VERSE 18 - Wedding

Love is patient, 
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud. 
It is not rude, 
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record 
Of wrongs, 
Love does not delight
In evil but rejoices with
The truth. 
It always protects,
Always trusts, always hopes,
Always perseveres.

What therefore God
Has joined together,
Let no man separate.

Between man and woman
In which the independence

And the obligation reciprocal.

Single thought
Two hearts that beat as one

VERSE 21 - Wedding

May God be with you and Bless you.
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortunes
And rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but
Happiness from this day forward.

Love is composed of a
Single soul inhabiting
Two bodies

The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want.
In green pastures
He gives me repose.
Beside restful waters

For his name's sake.
Even if I walk
In the dark valley
I fear no evil;
For you are at my side

Our father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the Kingdom,
The power and glory,
For ever and ever.
