Weddings

From the father of the bride to his daughter:

This day is a day like no other -
I see how you sparkle and shine
This magnificent day of September
in the year two thousand and nine.

Dear Cheri, we're gathered to celebrate,
your marriage to Jeff, the love of your life,
I'm so proud and incredibly happy
to have watched you grow from daughter to wife.
As Mom and I drove along the Charles River,
on that wondrous Halloween night,
God sent me a sign on the radio - "Isn't She Lovely"-
Stevie sure got that right!
You've always been able to hold your own -
resourceful, independent - full of fun,
By birth order you're the middle child -
but to me you'll always be number one.

Even during the times we were distant,
there was always unconditional love in my heart,
Such a beautiful child, a gift in my life
I knew you were special right from the start.
At age 5 worries about Santa's safety,
at 21 pub crawling all night,
Cherished memories of peanut, Cheri Berry, "Julie" -
our cruise director helped our ship sail just right.
Vivacious, outgoing, a strong sense of self -
sense of humor we 'd laugh 'til we cried,
From the first DARE graduate to a Masters Degree,
and now a radiant bride.

Thanks to Brian whom you met in Australia,
you met Jeff, and now here I stand,
Sending the two of you off on life's journey,
the circle of love on ring finger left hand.
The dancing and toasting that first slice of cake,
garter toss and the bridal bouquet,
Celebrations, traditions the laughter and joy
keepsake treasures of your wedding day.
A joy that is shared is a joy multiplied.
and sorrow shared is divided in two,
Serenity, peace,fulfillment and joy
is the wish in my heart to both of you.
Your love as your compass will guide you,
be your anchor every day of your life,
Here's to Cheri and Jeff, as you set sail on your way
to begin your journey as husband and wife.
Congratulations Cheri and Jeff - Isn't She Lovely?!
With love,
Dad

For a same sex couple to celebrate their marriage:

Dear Chris and Scott -
After seventeen years of togetherness
On September 7th, you exchanged vows and rings-
We're sending our heartfelt congratulations
and all the joys that married life brings!
Here's a toast to you on your wedding day
we're as thrilled as we can be,
You've both been like our brothers
on our wacky family tree.
You were there to lend a helping hand
no matter what the need -
Financial, emotional or spiritual
you've been amazing friends in deed.

A Wedding Keepsake Poem for Red Sox fans:

We're so blessed to share in your wedding day,
a union that was just meant to be
You were friends in high school -then years went by -
it was kismet - your destiny.
A late afternoon wedding, St Simon's Island the place,
you stand with a breathtaking view
Vows and rings are exchanged
as we celebrate true love
underneath a canopy of blue.
The Red Sox and Braves may be playing nearby,
but we'll proudly be by your side
As you join together as husband and wife,
loving groom and a radiant bride.
Your love is an inspired love
and we're both ecstatic for you
You've been like extended family -
nonjudgmental, giving, loyal and true.
Dustin you're like a brother to me
and just like Big Papi's strong swing
May your marriage be solid, a walk off home run,
you deserve only the best life can bring.
Uncle Dustin you're not a blood uncle to me,
but I feel like I'm your special niece
May all that you give come back tenfold to you -
may your happiness only increase.
You're generous, loving, sharing time, sharing fun
and here is our wish for you
That today is is the start of a life filled with joy
every moment your married life through.
With our love,
Trapper and Lexz
