Wedding Poem: 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, my dear,
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!!"

Anyone can use this reading, but here are some qualities of relationships that we feel "Yes, I’ll marry you, my dear." would work for:
- Couples who are opting for a civil ceremony or celebrant to officiate their wedding. This isn't a religious reading.
- Couples where the phrase "opposites attract" works perfectly to describe their relationship.
- Couples who have good banter between them and don't mind poking fun at each other.
- Couples that don't want their wedding readings to be too serious or overly romantic.
