A 'Heart' Felt Poem for a Best Friend...
Maybe you are trying to fit a special piece of poetry you love into your OBX destination wedding somehow ... say, for example, as a part of the vows, a reading by a family member, or even more creatively - as a unique favor guests can take away as a remembrance. There's so much available on the web to peruse if you're still looking for just the right poem for your OBX ceremony. For your beach themed wedding you may find something on this site that 'speaks' to you.
I first heard this poem when I watched the Cameron Diaz & Toni Collette movie "In Her Shoes" a couple of years back. I still get weepy (in a good way) when I read it now. On this Mother's Day I wanted to share it with everyone and say to my Mom - who I know will read this - you are a beautiful person and my very best friend...

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Until Next Time,
