Celebrating Engagement Poems

Poems that celebrate the joy, love, and excitement of getting engaged.



1. Engagement A Special Thing
   Poet: Julie Hebert
   
   Engagement is a special thing,
   A promise to join hands no matter what life brings.
   Formalizing your love and being decided,
   We couldn’t be any more delighted!
   
   Starting off with a simple ring,
   To make your love known, not a fling.
   Your love for each other is something so true,
   And we are so happy for both of you!




2. Splendid Life
   Poet: Julie Hebert
   
   How splendid life can be,
   When your future is there to see
   May engagement life glow and your relationship expand,
   May your marriage be filled with glee!




3. When You Proposed
   Poet: Julie Hebert
   
   I giggled and blushed when you proposed,
   I could barely contain my joy and hope.
   We hugged and we kissed wishing the best
   For what this journey will bring us next.
   
   Our friends and family can all rejoice,
   As we walk together forever by choice.
   I dreamed of this day, however,
   Now it will be kept in our memories forever.  




4. Love Story
   Poet: Julie Hebert
   
   Though love stories have had their time
   This special one is here to stay;
   Where some have had to say goodbye,
   We wish your love grows stronger every day.
   
   For your engagement we congratulate,
   A start for you on a journey today;
   It just may be the happiest fate,
   And pure love that will never stray.
   
   Years from now when you look back,
   Our wish for you is happiness with no lack;
   From here hence may your happily ever after send
   A true love story that never ends!




5. Love Like A Rose
   Poet: Julie Hebert
   
   Love, like a rose so new, will blossom and spread its cheer,
   Its joyous petals grow as two hearts draw ever near.
   
   A promise of love sealed with a ring and a yes,
   May together you both be blessed.
   
   This engagement delights your family and kin,
   We cheer for you both, on this day you begin.
   
   May the bliss and contentment you feel today never depart,
   And forever together, will you both never be apart.




Poems about Love


Before we ask someone's hand in marriage we are often thinking about all the ways we love them. This poem describes all the ways the author loved his Annie. With a few small changes to this poem, it could be used in many different ways. It could also be used as part of an engagement  proposal!


6. A Walk By Moonlight
   Poet: Crocket McElroy
   
   The moon is sweetly shining,
   And the stars are entwining,
   A wreath for my dear Annie,
   Who is all the world to me.
   
   While all the world lies dreaming,
   My heart with joy is beaming,
   I'm happy with my Annie,
   Who is all the world to me.
   
   All nature now is sleeping,
   No living thing is creeping,
   I'm all alone with Annie,
   Who is all the world to me.
   
   The silent trees look neater,
   The flowers, too, are sweeter,
   But naught's so sweet as Annie,
   Who is all the world to me.
   
   My head with thought is turning,
   My heart with love is burning,
   I'm so happy with Annie,
   Who is all the world to me.
   
   Sweet nature is insisting,
   I must not be resisting,
   I'll ask the hand of Annie,
   Who is all the world to me.

Reflections and Advice As You Are Engaged

Poems reflecting on the engagement and offering advice for the journey ahead.



13. Share Your Life
    Poet: Unknown
    
    When the one whom you believe in
    puts their faith and trust in you,
    You've found the one and only love
    You'll share your whole life through.




14. You'll Find Your Way
    Poet: Julie Hebert
    
    On the day of your engagement, you start to imagine,
    After the wedding what will our marriage look like?
    Of course, life is never easy, so working hard at it will be necessary.
    
    But with that each day your love should spike.
    You won't be able, to take it for granted,
    Those who do will typically fail.
    Never stop showing your love to the one you love,
    Because love is can be at times very frail.
    
    There will be times that you feel, "this is easy!"
    Then something won't go your way.
    You'll find yourself unsure of what to do,
    Feeling this is no ordinary day.
    
    But with compromise and a want to move on,
    Life will get back on track.
    You'll find marriage is a rollercoaster of love,
    But with love and determination, you'll find your way back.




Marriage Poems



15. A Question
    Poet: Julie Hebert
    
    On one knee to ask a question,
    From this, an engagement arises.
    Planning begins and many comments flow in.
    Seems like everyone has something to say,
    Your wedding doesn't feel your way,
    But in the end, the day will finish with a grin.
