"These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow and forever."
"These are the hands that will work along side yours as together you will build your future."

"These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief wracks your mind."
"These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of joy."
"These are the hands that will help you hold your family as one."
"These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it."
"And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.
