Romantics to the core, we can't get enough of love poetry. Your wedding day and special events leading up to your wedding, including showers, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners and informal cocktail parties all provide the perfect platform for sharing a wedding poem with your guests. 

BDWeddingfavors.com researches poetry and loves to share wedding day poems, wedding engagement poems, love poems and the like with our customers and blog readers.

Today's pick is from a Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926, translated by Stephen Mitchell). This eloquently phrased tribute to the triumph of love makes a sweet prelude to a wedding toast or wedding anniversary toast. Enjoy....

To Love Another

For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation...Loving does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person--it is a high inducement for the individual to ripen...to become world in himself for the sake of another person; it is a great, demanding claim on him, something that chooses and calls him to vast distances.

-Rainer Maria Rilke, Copyright Rainer Maria Rilke

Oh, and we did the flowers ourselves - it was a family affair the night before the wedding. you can learn alot about your family by making them make flower arrangements - my brother-in-law was SO proud of his, he kept bragging about it, and then the day of the wedding it was all wilted - he forgot that plants need water ;-p.
