Hi Phillippa, Maybe is gorgeous. I was looking for something to write out for OH for the wedding morning. Is it ok if I pinch it?

ooh ooh me too please

Sure!
It works for us because its my 2nd marriage and I wanted something that a friend could read, rather than something that was more suitable for the bride or groom to read out.

Every time I read it, I get all emotional!

I read this at my friends wedding, loads of people commented how beautiful it was:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Love is a temporary madness,
it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just being "in love" which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are one tree and not two.[/FONT]

We had
(By John Cooper Clarke)

I wanna Be Yours...


I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots
I wanna be yours

I wanna be your raincoat
for those frequent rainy days
I wanna be your dreamboat
when you want to sail away
Let me be your teddy bear
take me with you anywhere
I don’t care
I wanna be yours
I wanna be your electric meter
I will not run out
I wanna be the electric heater
you’ll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
hold your hair in deep devotion
Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
that’s how deep is my devotion

and

Getting married means you'll have
Someone's hand to hold,
Even when you're feeling sick,
Even when you're old.

It means when you sit down to eat,
Someone will be there,
So you won't have to tell your day
To an empty chair.
It means that you can have some kids
Just like a mom and dad,
And play with them all afternoon,
Except when they are bad.
It means that when you need some help,
Someone will help out,
Someone always near to you
So you won't have to shout.
But best of all is when it's time
To turn out all the lights:
You won't have to be alone
Those long and scary nights. So even though you don't have toys,
You don't have to care:
Once you're married you can be
Each other's teddy bear!
