Secret "poem"

Sammy85_2

So i was thinking, i would like to get up and say a poem or something in church to my OH.

I was imagining once the marriage part is over and we go onto the readings i would have the vicar introduce me, and it would be a secret that im going to do it, noone but me and the vicar (and you ladies!) would know.

Im just looking for suggestions of what to read. I'd like it to be short-ish, im not a particularly confident public speaker.

Any suggestions?

This one might be a little long for you but if you're looking for funny it would be great:

Yes, I'll Marry You

Yes, I'll marry you, my dear,
And here's the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry,
And if we hear a knocking
And it's creepy and it's late,
I hand you the torch you see,
And you investigate.

Yes I'll marry you, my dear,
You may not apprehend it,
But when the tumble-drier goes
It's you that has to mend it,
You have to face the neighbour
Should our labrador attack him,
And if a drunkard fondles me
It's you that has to whack him.

Yes, I'll marry you,
You're virile and you're lean,
My house is like a pigsty
You can help to keep it clean.
That sexy little dinner
Which you served by candlelight,
As I do chipolatas,
You can cook it every night!

It's you who has to work the drill
and put up curtain track,
And when I've got PMT it's you who gets the flak,
I do see great advantages,
But none of them for you,
And so before you see the light,
I do, I do, I do!


It's by Pam Ayres

Or if you're looking for romantic maybe this one:

Will Love You Forever
Short Romantic Love Poms by Amanda Nicole Martinez

I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice
And the way that we touch.
I love your warm smile
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring
To my life every day.
I love you today
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever
With all of my heart.

Thanks for that, very much along the lines of what i was thinking.

Pam Ayres is good, but a friend of mine had that at a recent wedding we went to, so i'd rather go with something different.

Cheers again

I'm doing something similar but I am going to record a poem that is going to be played just before my entrance music. Only myself, my sister (as she is going to be doing the music) and the registrar will know. I found it online and it's called The Waiting Is Over.

Sorry I can't help more with what to read during the readings, I'm susre you will find something

This one is very short, and sweet...

That Still and Settled Place by Edward Monkton

In that still and settled place

There's nobody but you

You're where I breath my oxygen

You're where I see my view

And when the world feels full of noise

My heart knows what to do

It finds that still and settled place

And dances there with you.

what a lovely idea-I might have to steal it!!
There are some lovely poems out there, I think the most difficult bit would be picking which one to read and not crying whilst doing it!
