Wedding Verses
Welcome to my very verse-atile Wedding, Wedding Anniversary and other ditties - versus -poems page
Whether writing poems and verses for a wedding day speech or merely a tribute to a couple we hope these actual poems written for specific people will give ideas / inspiration. First off though, we've picked out these generic verses, from the collection which follows, which could perhaps apply to almost any couple
FOR WEDDING DAY POEM / SPEECH
Congratulations Samantha and Alan
On this your wedding day
Would it happen this Millennium?
We've heard some cynics say
A man behaving badly
Unkempt and a bit of a scruff
Met a spick and span young lady
Who fancied a bit of ruff
He acted like greased lightning
Dynamic, you know the kind
XX years that's all it took
For Alan to make up his mind
Let's face it, Sam wasn't choosey
She admits it to herself
No spring chicken she feared that she'd
Be left up on the shelf
But despite major differences
The pair found common ground
For example, his big bum matches her big nose
Or is it the other way round?
They share a love of foreign hols
They're XYZ and AB fans
Love flourished and so the two of them
Hatched their wedding plans
While Samantha thinks of kissing
When Alan's lips are pursed
His mind is on a can of Bud
To quench his prodigious thirst
And so in the Summer of '96
The Scouser took his Geordie wife
Good luck you whirlwind romantics
Have a long and happy life
DOCTOR AND AROMATHERAPIST / ONE IS NEWCASTLE SUPPORTER, THE OTHER SUPPORTS SUNDERLAND
Congratulations Samantha and Alan
On this your wedding day
Would it happen this Millennium?
We've heard some cynics say
But it's been a well structured plan
Head ruling heart
Besides, courting ain't easy
Four hundred miles apart
When one went north, the other south
To feed your hungry brains
Richard Branson spotted a winner
And set up Virgin trains
Now you've cornered the healing market
Very shrewd, that's for sure
You've got modern medical science
And Nature's old time cure
Ailments don't stand a chance
That could not be clearer
There's drugs or the knife..have you met the wife?
She's got Aloe Vera
You really make a perfect team
Team? oh no we've spotted a catch
Can you try to avoid coming to blows
Every derby match
We're very proud of both of you
On this your special day
God bless you both and best of luck
Dr. and Mrs. A...

GROOM NICKNAMED DIESEL, MECHANIC, BOOZER
BRIDE IS BANK WORKER...THEY SEEM LIKE OPPOSITES
A man behaving badly
Unkempt and a bit of a scruff
Met a spick and span young lady
Who fancied a bit of ruff
John's a machine repairer
Marie works in a Royal Bank
She's a 4 star sort of girl
Who put Diesel in her tank
Let's face it, she wasn't choosey
She admits it to herself
No spring chicken she feared that she'd
Be left up on the shelf
But despite major differences
The pair found common ground
For example, his big bum matches her big nose
Or is it the other way round?
They share a love of foreign hols
They're Damon Hill and Tigger fans
Love flourished and so the two of them
Hatched their wedding plans
While Marie thinks of kissing
When John's lips are pursed
His mind is on a can of Bud
To quench his prodigious thirst
For John likes a drop or two
Yes this bloke can't half sup
When full, he simply falls asleep
At the bar...still standing up
Is Marie in a state of shock
Does she fear her wedding night
Normally tanned, but on this day
Miss Cranville has turned White
We've been somewhat provocative
But we'd like to call a truce
We wish you both the very best
From Margaret and from Bruce

TRIBUTES
This is a New Millennium tribute
To show that we care
To Mavis and Joe
A very special pair
Mavis has no time at all
Always on the go
While he can sleep the clock round
Our Rip Van Winkle Joe
He likes to tinker round with clocks
And loves all things gold
While she bargain hunts for England
And home helps the old
She adores her "baby", Felix
And loves wine as well
While he slopes off to the Dog and Gun
To sup some LCL
To the very best of Grandfolks
Mam and Dad, Mavis and Joe
Have a Merry Christmas '99
And all the best in double-O
________
He fancied this bird in the Black Horse
Attracted by her nice bum
She thought "That's handy, a bloke with a pub"
Our Eileen's not so dumb
To laid back Bob and hyperactive Eileen
And their marriage made in heaven
This comes with love from Mam and Dad
As well as Ruth and Kevin
_____________
Rhonda and Charlie Tomkins
Have a marriage made in heaven
4 years they've been together
That's not bad...out of seven
The heart grows fonder, says Rhonda
And Charlie loves her piles
There's something special between 'em
....about 700 miles
For Charlie's a Master seaman
(How's that for a bit of flattery)
While Rhonda works for Duracell
They're just an old salt and battery
Each fortnight they get together
A precious time... very dear
Cos the 'Italia' costs a fortune
For scran, wine and beer
When time it comes for Charles to leave
Of course he likes to dally
He makes a bee line for his favourite place
His own Rhonda Valley
We've tried hard to avoid the insults
We've managed, we think, to fail
Have a really smashin' Christmas
With love from Jim and Gail

Arthur, you plaster and play the keyboard
Matron Maureen you tend the old
Are you an ordinary married couple
In a sedate gentle mould?
Not at all, you're a biker team
Speed is what you like
Geriatric Hell's Angels
World touring on your bike
But do the citizens of Gateshead cringe
Does Newcastle fear this menace
No, all agree you're a smashing pair
This comes with love from Dennis

HUBBY TO WIFE
T'is the shopping season
At home you're rarely seen
As you scud around the High Street
As the UK's Shopping Queen
You could win an Olympic medal
Round the malls you walk for miles
Why you even shed a couple of stone
For manoevering round the aisles
A shopper needs talking skills
It's hard if you're struck dumb
So you lay off the gin, cos it's no good
If your "teeth go numb"
Nearly 30 years ago
When I still had hair
You went shopping for a husband
And got a real bargain there
Cos I'm handsome, debonaire and loyal
(Tho' not a shopping man)
Have a really super Christmas
I love you, Carol Anne

WIFE TO HUBBY
Alan, you're "busy...busy"
Got no time at all
You "hit the ground running"
"Out the place", "up the wall"
Being Chairman of the Business Club
Building a Cobra car
Attending the accountancy meetings
Over a pint at the bar
Your mobile phone, if you switch it on
Could come in very handy
For buying shares in Makro
Staples, Dixons, Tandy
Lots of folk have 40 winks
That's a natural response
You do that and read the paper
While watching telly, all at once
Alan you're "busy...busy"
Run off your feet
Perhaps that's why your office
Makes Steptoe's yard look neat
Lots of love etc

TIGHT FISTED / NARKY / LOOKS LIKE JIM BOWEN / DOG called JACK
Granda Stupid- you're lovely, smashin'
But sometimes you get quite cross
Of course, you never do with Jack and me
You don't -cos we're the boss
The adults say you're careful, thrifty
Some say tight without a doubt
They say you work at Roker Park
So you can get in for nowt
Most boozers go to the local pub
For their whisky, beer and such
You go to the Community Centre
Cos they don't charge as much
You're a Bowen / Meldrew imitator
But according to Jack and me
You're the greatest- and we're not alone
The adults all agree
Merry Christmas Granda
lots of love
Laura and Jack

MAN OF STEEL
Proudly standing, all alone
The man of steel, heart of stone
Performing daily duties, rain or fair
Learning secrets that he will no share
Life's cries echo round his silenced ears
He sheds no tears
For he is just a man of steel
As we stood there in 'our' place
I could read it on your face
Gazing up at our statue
You said you had met someone new
Your harsh words, they penetrate my mind
You're so unkind
I am not a man of steel
Leave me now, and see me plead
Prick my finger, see me bleed
Put your head to my heavy breast
There's a heart in there that will not rest
I won't know what to do, when you're gone
I can't go on
I am not a man of steel
He sees our boy take to the street
Bedding down about his feet
Observes through eyes that are quite blind
The rapid way the boy declined
And sees the boy at 24 grown old
But he stays cold
For he is just a man of steel
He has seen love build and grow
Then dissolve like thawing snow
Standing there, unrelentlessly
Frozen secrets guarded jealously
Look, there's a tear on his cheek, through watching pain
Or is it rain?
Falling on the man of steel
This was written by me, as song lyrics, and was put to a tune
It was originally called 'Man of Stone' standing in a town square. I have adapted it , to relate to the Angel of the North
The rhyming scheme had Paul Simon's Sound of Silence in mind and you might find the words still fit that tune
