[slow dance song no longer than 4 minutes: "Today and Forever, I Do" — written with elegant instrumentation in mind (piano, violin, harp, light guitar, soft percussion), building subtly and emotionally toward a full, heartfelt climax.

Out someone like you for me So incredibly, perfectly Aligned with every piece of me (Thank You... for blessing me...) --- [Chorus] Baby, I'm so full of gratitude To spend my life with you For the rest of our lives We'll be husband and wife On this beautiful, blessed day Our dreams come true My love... Today and Forever... I do (I do...

Today and Forever... Forever and ever... I do... (I do... I do... with all of me... for all of time...) --- [Outro – Gentle Fade] (Soft guitar strums, harp glides, piano echoes) Ooh... Today and forever... I do...
