Wedding Forum - What do you think?...

My 12 year old Neice wants to do a reading at our ceremony and I have found this, and made some alterations to it, could you lovely ladies please let me know what you think, I am open to suggestions if any of you would change anything, sorry its long xx


If you go to a wedding, here’s what it means
No one wears trainers and no one wears jeans
Your best new clothes are all that you wear
And everyone you know in your whole family is there

Even some cousins that you’ve never known
And the grown ups all say “Oh, how much you have grown!”
So everyone’s sitting in one big room
except Auntie Sarah and Uncle Neil, the bride and groom

Then all of a sudden things quieten down
The music starts playing and people turn round
And really slowly, Auntie Sarah walks in
she’s prettier now than she’s ever been.

She’s a bride and she looks really great today
when normally she looks just kind of okay
She walks in and stands with grandad for a while
As Uncle Neil, her boyfriend, awaits in the aisle

His hair is all combed and he’s wearing a tie
And Mama Netty starts to sniffle and cry.
Now it is time for the “get-married” part
The Registrar says that we’re ready to start

So she talks and she talks about serious things
Then the best man steps up holding two rings
He gives one to the groom and the other to the bride
he failed to talk Neil out of this, but he really did try

Then Sarah and Neil kind of look at each other
And another big sniffle comes from Neil’s mother
its time for them to put on their wedding rings
And they talk and they promise each other some things

They promise that they’ll love each other a lot
And help one another no matter what
And be with each other the rest of their life
Then the Registrar says “Now you are husband and wife”.

Then everyone’s in such a big happy mood
And you go to a party where there’s lots of food
you dance with some grown-ups and drink some wine
And then do the conga-dance in one long line

Then Sarah and Neil drive off in a car
and everyone’s saying how happy they are
we all shout goodbye and throw handfuls of rice
Then the whole thing is over... i love Weddings... there nice!

I'm hoping it gets a chuckle and few tears lol :-) x

ah thats lovely hun may "borrow" it lol xxxxxxxxxxxx

ah that is absolutely fantastic! it didnt half make me laugh and think 'awwwww'! wish i had a grown up neice i could get to read that lol xxx

lilmisschuckles "borrow" away lol

Thanks everyone I was worried it might be a bit long and not "soppy" enough but I think that it will make people laugh as well as think its cute xx

It's fab...love it!! C x

Ahh thats lovely xx

Aww its lovely, Im sure she will do great x

That'll go down a treat! My first thoughts were that its very long so she'll have to be quite a confident individual to carry it off well, and I was going to suggest you could crop it a bit for her, but if she's been practicing and seems to be getting on well with it then I'm sure she'll do a brilliant job even if she is a bit nervous! x
