I've been hmm-ing and haa-ing about posting this for a while. Until now I have guarded this very jealously.
Last year I was fortunate enough to marry the most wonderful woman and to go that extra mile I decided that not only would I do one of the readings at the ceremony myself but I would also write it. No great shakes you say, but although I love writing I have never really got to grips with poetry. And I didn't want it to descend into sugary sentement so I went for a more lighthearted (and even silly) approach.
I don't think it came off too bad. My wife said she loved it, my Mum cried despite promising she wouldn't and the lady doing the ceremony asked if she could keep it to use at other weddings! I think everyone was just being polite so I would love to get some feedback from my trusted fellow ciao-ers.
So, imagine me standing there in my enormous frock coat in front of all our family and friends, nervous as you like and I deliver this....
I THINK......
~ When I think of something nice I think of sharing it with you And I would like to think You'd want to share it with me too ~ When I think of somewhere I want to go I want to take you with me Be it just around the corner Or all the way to Sydney ~ I'm thinking of you constantly You help me to unwind Even though you must be tired From all that running through my mind ~ I may be getting a beer belly And sometimes I'm over-zealous You've got more hair than I have But it doesn't make me jealous ~ And if you catch me staring I'm just trying to guess your weight Because if I could only do that Then I'd win you at a fete ~ When I wake up feeling happy It is all because of you You don't have to say anything It's just the little things you do ~ And when I feel in love It's all because I have you And now that we are man and wife I can't help thinking what we'll do...?
You should not be embarrassed. Goodness me, take a look at some of my stuff. If I am not embarrassed, you have no reason to be !!!! These are feelings. Feelings are good.
