A bride and groom, in verdant shade
And tears of joy as vows are made
With hearts in sync, their words ring true
As Santa Barbara skies are blue
Go gently with love’s fiery blaze
Go calmly through your maze of days
Go boldly on and do not fear
Go brightly, whether far or near
The tides of life may ebb and flow
You’ll surf the waves and love will grow
Though life is short, your path is long
You’ll find the bear and sing your song
Be happy in each other’s sun
Be patient when the storm clouds come
Be best friends first right to the core
Be soulmates, now and evermore.
