Alex and Steve’s Wedding Poem.
Written with love: Raquel.
Dear Alex and Steve,
Congratulations! Today is the day you both tie the knot,
To stay with each other until your bodies do rot.
To take it back to when the story all began,
It was Christmas Eve four years ago when this boy became a man.
Shoprite was the location – amidst all the breads, cheeses, and fruit,
Where this young love blossomed and started to form its steadfast root.
Steve started it off with a post on Alex’s Facebook wall:
“Nice pics wink wink” was the bait that hooked this doll,
By September 2007, their relationship status said “engaged”
It was clear by then that their attraction could not be caged.
The dates, presents, and flirting only grew with time,
When it soon became certain that the wedding bells would one day chime.
Four years later, the long awaited ring finally came,
And today I proudly stand here as my sister gets a new name.
Love is rare and precious emotion that should surely be kept divine,
To coddle and preserve like a freshly aged wine.
As you take the bed tonight to enjoy the frills that come with being wed,
I hope you both keep beloved the vows that you just said.
My hope for you both is that you find your state of happy,
Remember to forgive quickly, give freely, and every once and awhile, be sappy.
I love you both.
