Processional: Love is the Reason Lyrics: Love is the reason that we're here. Today is a day I've waited for all my life. And I want you to know... How I love you so, On this day that we two are one. You and I dreaming our dreams together. Hand in hand, sharing the rest of our lives. And our journey starts with the love in our hearts. From this day, I will walk with you. © Lois J Henrickson (Lytingale) ....by itself for the whole processional... or changing for the bride to...

Solo: It Takes All of Me Lyrics: One alone is too alone, I've been that way before. I'm ready now to open up my life to seeing more. There's a lot of loving that I know we could share. It takes all of me to love all of you. I know I don't need you, but I want you just the same. We don't have to play that crazy old dependence game. I don't want to tie you down, I want to help you grow. It takes all of me to love all of you. You don't have to fill me up; I know that I'm complete. But there's a world outside myself that you could help me see. So let us share the wealth we have in being who we are. When you are whole, and I am whole, then we have synergy. We don't have to be the same, or give up what we do. I love you for the differences that are uniquely you. And every time I open up, that's when I learn to grow. It takes all of me to love all of you. © Lois J.
