Wedding Forum - Love this poem...

I really like Pam Ayres and had one of her books when I was at college, was doing a clear out at the weekend, found it and had a read through. I couldn't believe it when I came accross this poem, it's brilliant. I'm thinking that instead of having someone else doing a reading I could read this to h2b at the ceremony or during the speeches, not sure yet. It's so true though, my h2b does pretty much everything for me and I'm his little pampered princess.

Yes, I'll Marry You, My Dear - Pam Ayres

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!

we cant decide between the above poem or

HE NEVER LEAVES THE SEAT UP …

He never leaves the seat up
Or wet towels upon the floor.
The toothpaste has the lid on
And he always shuts the door!

She’s very clean and tidy
Though she may sometimes delude.
Leave your things out at your peril
In a second they’ll have moved!

He’s a very active person
As are all his next of kin.
Where as she likes lazy days
He’ll still drag her to the gym!

He romances her and dines her
Home cooked dinners and the like.
He even knows her favourite food
And spoils her day and night!

She’s thoughtful when he looks at her
A smile upon his face.
Will he look that good in 50 years
When his dentures aren’t in place?!


He says he loves her figure
And her mental prowess too
But when gravity takes her over
Will she charm with her IQ?

She says she loves his kindness
And his patience is a must
And of course she thinks he’s handsome
Which, in her eyes, is a plus!

They’re both not wholly perfect
But who are we to judge?
He can be pig headed
Whereas she won’t even budge!

All that said and done
They love the time they spent together
And I hope, as I’m sure you do,
That this fine day, will last forever.

He’ll be more than just her husband
He’ll also be her friend
And she’ll be more than just his wife
She’s be; his soul mate ‘till the end.

This poem for Gary and for Cheryl
A married couple now
Is a token of the love; they share
And the thought; behind each vow.

As it describes both of our personalities pretty well lol x

That's a lovely poem too Cheryl, it's nice to have something personalised. x

Really love the first one!
