Dearly beloved...
Dearly beloved, we’re gathered here Having travelled from far and near Some have even come from overseas This couple’s wishes to appease
The lady comes from Buckinghamshire You mayn’t be surprised to hear And the gentlemen comes from Swindon So how did their meeting happen?
They were young, footloose and fancy free But seems they didn’t want to be For they both decided it was time To search for a partner - online
She liked foods with much flavour and spice He thought that plainer food was nice She had a thing about aeroplanes His speciality was trains
She so loved using her voice to sing Whilst brass music was more his thing She often found that she felt the cold When he thought it warm, so I’m told
They didn’t let diff’rences distract The saying’s opposites attract So as on this journey they depart We pray God’s blessing from our heart
