Wedding Poem

Wedding Poem

I attended a wedding in Cyprus in May of this year and on the morning of the weddding, sat by the Hotel pool, I penned this poem about the bride and groom to be read out at the reception held in a restaraunt in the harbour of Ayia Napa

Congratulations Jack and AlisonOn your marriage, just a few hours oldWeren't the children well behaved?Even Alan was as good as gold

It's 10 years since they metAnd today, finally, he's managed to trap herStarting out at the Ship, they've ended in the harbourHere in Ayia Napa

Six years they were a-courting'Would she ever leave home?' Alan would fretYou see she worked days and he worked nightsSo they hardly ever met

Alan dropped hints to AlisonYour own love nest would be niceAnd eventually they moved to Brentwood Street96, to be precise

And there they started begattingAnd all that luvvy dovey stuffThey must have been good coz in no time at allAlison was up the duff

Along came young David and JamesTo make their family completeOr is it? Who knows what'll happenThe honeymoon starts the neet!

Well, that's the potted historySo all that remains to sayIs thanks a lot Jack and AlisonFor a really smashin' day

We all agree the bride is beautifulLike a queen from a golden palaceShe walked down the aisle Miss WilliamsAnd back up it Mrs Allis

And if we didn't thank the bridesmaidsWe really would failSophie and Hannah you're beautifulLike Princesses from a fairy tale

We should thank best man GaryAnd Alan, the bride giver awayAnd the mothers Carole and MargaretThanks for all you've done today

And thanks too to Jack the groomLooking handsome as can beAnd not forgetting the fat bloke reading the poemSo that's a thanks a lot to me

And finally...let's raise our glassesTo toast the stars of todayHave a very long and happy lifeMr and Mrs A
