Analysis of Together Forever (I Do)



From the moment we both met I knew,
       I was the man for you.
Did you know you were the woman for me?
       Could you see love in my eyes,
Feel the magic no surprise.
        Did you know love would one day be?
Imbedded deep within our hearts,
         Give life a new start,
Let this magic end never.
         For, together we will stand,
As we walk down the isle hand in hand,
         Because, we'll be together forever.  

A new story is told,
         I carry you over the threshold.
Already a new family to start.
         Many a nights we've waited,
For this bond God created,
         Let no mere man tear apart.
And, we'll be together, forever together.
         A love so strong so true.
For the rest of my life,
         Do I take thee as my wife?
I Do!
