Distant branches in tangerine sky

Candyfloss vapours trail up high.

Children squeal in delighted glee

To see your love, your entity,

Angels sigh to sound of dove

Two people are wed in matrimonial love.

Friends stand by from close and afar

To witness your seal a very high bar;

There will be winters of cold and grey

Where the nights are dark, and there is no day.

Stand firm and strong in times of sadness

Smile and laugh in times of gladness.

Plant your feet in the meringue-capped snow

Above, stars wink in deepest indigo.

For your heads give shoulder to one another

Whisper your love to your lover.

At times it will be like tree without leaf

Keep your love - keep your belief.

The buds will always bloom again

For they always need sun and rain.

Rejoice in time of summer’s rays

Long and balmy warming days;

When flower and fly dance a serenade

Fishing by lake in mighty oak shade.

Don’t forget to hold each other’s hand

Carve ‘I love you’ in sea-swept sand.

And now two become one for life together

All around know it’s for the better.

Enjoy the day, family, friends and their love

For your marriage is sanctified from angels above.
