Can anyone help me find a poem for a reading. I want it for my civil ceremony so it can't be religious. neither me or H2B are comfortable with soppy love things so it needs to be funny, but about love not why your in love, if that makes any sense. I tried google and even tjose were too mushy. help please. Thanks :)
I can't believe we've actually done it

I love this:
All my life, I knew there was you. I knew somewhere out there in the wide world was my other half, my soul mate. Many times I thought I had found love only to be deceived. Through my ups and downs I dreamed of you. I knew you were there though I never trusted that you were close enough to reach. Like a divine accident we began, We laughed together, and cried together until eventually we loved together. I believe that someone somewhere knew that we belonged; I feel you even when you’re not there, I think of you and my heart swells and all that you are and all that you do makes me so proud. I want to thank you for loving me. I am so grateful we have found that once in a lifetime that some are never fortunate enough to share. I am so honoured to have found such true love. You are my lover, my soul mate, my companion, my best friend and the reason I am here. I will love you and cherish you always.
Or is that too mushy? Need to gauge the mushiness, lol xx
JD is taken so I'll settle for being Mrs Marge :o)

Here's a funny one, not so much about love but it's certainly not mushy!
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!

"Oh the Places You’ll Go" by Dr Seuss
"Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the couple who’ll decide where to go. You’ll look up and down streets. Look ‘em over with care. About some you will say, “We don’t choose to go there.” With your heads full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down, any not-so-good street. And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. It’s opener there in the wide open air, Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.
OH! THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!
You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to great heights! You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have all the speed. You’ll pass the whole gang, and you’ll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly you’ll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don’t. Because sometimes, you won’t. You’ll get mixed up of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with so many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with great care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left. And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
