As our wedding is hosted by our children we are looking for another poem, maybe even to write one.... would love some help as the "proposal poem" you ladies helped with worked magically!
To give you some idea of what i am looking for is... to him its a bit of paper to me its family. iv always had a different surname to the rest of my family (thinking on it we've all had different names, my mum has had 3 surnames, my sister had her dads name, my bro had his dads name, now our children are double-barrelled. our wedding day, we will all share our surname, our wedding day we will become mr & mrs K-T. Much as we gave our kids both names, to me its as if they are allowing us to share their names. to be a proper family. to be the only 4 people in the world who have our surname! on our wedding day i will finally have a family thats not "broken".
We need the poem to be written as if its from our kids and includes the sharing of their name.
Any ideas would be great thank you

As its from them can you get them to actually write it?
Ps Me and my girls have one surname while h2b and our son have another as I'm divorced! On our wedding day I will be taking my h2b's surname so I will be different from the girls (their dad wont let them change) but in either case now or when we are married I wouldn't say our family is "broken" because our surnames are different!!! And yes we are a "proper" family as well

i have o say i d take issue with your assumption that just because people have different surnames that the family is considered "broken"..... i presume when you have parents that not only have different surnames but also dont want to get married this must mean that your family is BEYOND broken
yup sorry but i'm another who thinks you've used the wrong word when you say "broken". Literally the definition of a broken family is a family in which the parents are seperated/divorced and so on.
I currently have a different surname but by no means does that make us feel "broken". In fact the only time it bothers me is the confusion it sometimes causes when people such as after school clubs use my name instead of the children's surname, and then i have to correct them. Even then it's just one of those things. It's a "superficial" problem as I know it will be sorted one day and currently causes no actual problems for our family.
We may have different surnames but we're a very strong very close family.

JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself.
It's not the name that matters - it's being together as a family that matters. But perhaps the above might be a bit 'old' if its from the kids?
i assure you that i meant no offence when i say i feel my family has always been broken, this is purely how i feel about my own family. i have mates that the two adults have different surnames than the kids, but i do not consider their family as broken. This is purely how I feel about MY family. I cant explain it. But I assure you this is not how i see other families, purely how I see my own & have seen it since I was a child. It is how I have always felt, since well before i created my own little family.
