    Your new lives as husband and wife have begun.. use your

    ... which sounds sensible?

    Personally I think

    'Your new life as husband and wife has begun'

    sounds better and emphasises the togetherness

    It's definately "Your new life......".

    It's definitely 'definitely'. Sorry... :D:o

    It's certainly "Your".

    Careful also with your use of "there" and "their" mind you ;)

    (Sorry - this isn't personal - I'm a bit of a spelling/grammar bore!)

    I'm another (spelling/grammar bore). I remember it as:

    there (opposite of here)

    they're (shortened form of they are)

    which then leaves their (belonging to them)

    it was from a website called imageination that allows you to use there poems for free this is the poem in its entirety. ive also seen it on another website with the same spelling
    Today dear Son, as you walk down the aisle
    You'll see all the faces wearing a smile.
    But as we remember those young tender years
    Our smiles will conceal a few hidden tears.
    They're not tears of sorrow, but tears full of joy
    As we're both thinking back to our dear little boy
    And now you have grown up and made us so proud
    As you smile for the camera and the rest of the crowd
    Remember dear (name) as you take your new wife
    You're still very much a part of our life!
    We're gaining a daughter. not losing a son,
    You're new lives as husband and wife have begun


    ....and seeing as we are all Pedants here ;) the title should be IMAGINATION not IMAGINEATION !

    lve just copied a poem down, the last line is spelt
    "you're new life as husband and wife has begun" is that how its supposed to be spelt as l always thought you're was short for you are, thanks for any help

    You're = you are

    For that sentence the gramatically correct version would be 'your' :)
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
