beach hawaiian wedding

You wrote and read a poem at your father?s service,
and you spoke about him missing your wedding day,
and although that one line expresses so much,
it still means there's so much left to say:

You're great with the kids and you care for us all,
and I know as children go, I am like the third,
but when you said "I do" on our wedding day,
well, they were the sweetest words I've ever heard.

I give you my love forever true,
my truest ever words, spoken on our wedding day,
and "Idioma" or "Pansy", I love you,
but I do have a couple of other things to say:

You own a spa, massages, facials, make up,
personal training, you know, that sort of thing,
but there's something missing in your life,
even though you're wearing that wedding ring.

Just like the sun that streamed through the stained glass windows,
a simple family wedding, marrying the man of my dreams,
I'll never forget the harpist, the beautiful small chapel,
that's where we became one of the world's finest teams.

And thankfully, it wasn?t a shotgun wedding,
but I do want to thank you for the most special day of my life,
just know that you?re still my anchor, my King of Hearts,
even though, after being shot at, (NAME) made me his wife.

You love those old black and white movies,
and from Cleveland, you've travelled afar,
and I think our wedding song was simply perfect,
because you are loved: "Just the way you are"

Actually, (NAME) and (NAME) hated each other,
and one time, at the beach, they got into a fight,
but gladly the family feud didn't spoil things,
and soon it was Burger King on a Saturday night.

We started with a small affair at (WEDDING VENUE),
but a few months later we entertained around 1000 guests,
we sought the blessings of the Gods, our family and friends,
well, I reckon that, with honours, we've passed many of the tests

We've been apart since our wedding,
a cold wintry morning on (DATE)
but it's only our jobs and circumstance that could separate us,
because only with you, my world's a better place to be.

Mom likes that you can sit and talk about anything,
but you're also happy just sitting with nothing to say,
either way, Mom feels most comfortable when you're near her,
Mom says her finest 24 hours were all on her wedding day.

And I'll never forget our beautiful, so perfect wedding,
I don't remember ever feeling as happy as I did on that day,
I will never forget the way you looked at me as you spoke,
your eyes said everything that you needed to say.

I remember our first Valentines Day,
If I recall correctly, you took me to the beach,
but since then, I've learnt so much,
you see, there are many lessons that I could teach.

I remember Ma insisting, against my mother's wishes,
at my wedding, I should have salami on the meat trays,
she certainly taught me to stand up for myself,
but I'm grateful to her in so many other ways.

Because in no time at all we were off to Vegas,
thanks to the enormous generosity of our friends,
$36.00 worth of pennies and a double wedding later,
but that's not quite where this story ends.

Then in simply stunning and beautiful Barbados,
we borrowed a torch and watched the turtles hatch,
and on that beach I said "I do" to that lifetime of happiness,
I was happy, at last I'd found my truly perfect match.

And we?ll never forget those two torturous days,
I think the Watermelon Wagon was ahead of it?s time,
we remember begging you to pick us up from Surf Beach,
but you still managed to put reason in our rhyme.

Because over that year our love has evolved,
and it's grown to become this beautiful, living thing
and I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you,
I'm very proud that you're wearing my wedding ring.
