The Bride Wore White and Other Wedding Poetry

Consider Stone Mountain Lodge and Cabins for Your Outdoor Wedding in the Colorado Mountains

The bride wore white
The groom a kilt
The mother-in-law a gown of gilt

The maids wore pink
The dad wore green
Fresh petals all about were seen

The piper played When Irish Eyes
The harpist Too Ra Loo Ra
The cloggers clogged a pleasant jig
Applause and hallelujah

The tables were festooned with lace
The platters high with lamb
The bar replete with whiskey
And servers asking Sir?, or Ma'am?

The guests were silent for the toast
And lauding words were spoken
"Let persons so together tied
Stay fore'er unbroken"

With rapt attention listened
Upraised crystal glistened
Clinks heard all around
Not too boisterous a sound

The bride wore white
The groom a kilt
And only tears of joy were spilt

I shall cherish you
For all my years
Wipe from your eyes
All your tears

Laugh with you
Through humor fully
Protect you from
The wayward bully

Be your crutch
To stand you neatly
Share your pain
Lift you completely

If there be children
We shall love them
Kiss them, hug them
Keep them whole

A ring I give you
On gentle finger
As evidence to all
It shall there linger

(he says)
We are bound, united
In time of strife
And too, in time of joy
You are my wife

(she says)
We are united, bound
Never long to be apart
In mostly good, some bad
You are my heart
