Stuart and Sally are all set to get married. Sally's going to be both metaphorically and literally carried Over a threshold. Presents are going to be bought and sold By greedy retailers And invitations are going to be carried By wearisome mailers. (The whole thing's going to be like going to watch a movie- after being enticed by the trailers). The best man's going to be scratching his head As he works out the best way to be funny, About his friend And mums and dads over how much money They should be willing to spend. But that's not the end. Because getting married and being married are entirely different things. And it's not just a question of now wearing some rings. It's about two people now sharing one life With four parents, the possibility of children, one man and his wife. And years from now, even when they're driving each other mad, Hopefully, it'll still be the second-best day That they have ever had. The best day will see them at another head table Sat side by side Glowing with pride As they're trying to decide How to stop too much champagane, going to their heads, As their own Stuart or Sally weds. And life goes on and on and on. |

Almost every one's heart is filled with love when they get married Simon but the most important attribute after you are married is tolerance, repeat tolerance. Love backed up with tolerance has a good chance of success for a lasting marriage. I have been married for fifty six years so can speak from experience. great write Simon much enjoyed. Lindsay |
