I wrote this poem for my friend's wedding. They got married recently (in March) and I had the privilege of not only scribing but reading this out loud during the ceremony. It was written for them but it is free for you to use in your wedding if you so wish. All I ask is that the poem is credited to TSE Boulton, Also, if you like, you can send me a wedding picture to use for the site! I'm hoping to make an archive page.
Thanks,
Thom.
Thanks,
Thom.
And then there is cake...
Love is made of stuff.
Happy stuff.
Silly stuff.
Cute stuff.
Awwww stuff.
Angry stuff.
And compromising.
It starts with one person, and ends up with two,
And they do this thing where they gather everyone they know,
Well, everyone they like,
And they put them all in one room,
Dressed in best,
To witness them shouting out loud,
‘We are in love!’
There is standing; there is sitting,
And then there is CAKE!
The day whizzes past like a conveyer belt of gifts, food and photos,
And between the simile and smiles,
There is a daze of how quickly everything has flown by.
For the parents, they see their children fly the nest, finally.
For the friends, they see someone close draw closer to a partner.
But for the couple, they see everything ahead of them.
For this is a day, one amazing day,
One amazing day of many to come.
There will be fun, frolicking, fluffiness, furiousness and favours.
There is a blank scrap book waiting,
And this is the first entry,
So as they enter their marriage,
Give cheers,
Give advice,
And give it everything it can take.
Oh, and remember…
Soon there will be cake.
