Wedding Poems: For the Reception (3)

Kissing Bells
Poem by Carrie K. Hansen


This tiny wedding bell salutes the joyful Bride and Groom,
The laughter, love, and happiness that fills this merry room.
Ring this bell! The newlyweds are certain not to miss
The tinkling sound which signals them: ?Kiss, lovers, kiss!?


Our Wedding Photo (signature mat)
Poem by Carrie K. Hansen


(Rather than a traditional guest book, we bought a signable photo mat/frame combo. It holds an 8" x 10" photo and the mat has plenty of room for our guests to sign their names. I wrote this poem of "instructions":]

Our Wedding Photo

Our guest book is this photo frame.
We'd love to have you sign your name
And write, perhaps, a line or two
By which we may remember you.

Then, when our wedding day has passed,
Our mem'ries of this day will last,
For when we look at it, we'll see
Kind words from friends and family!

[Please be sure your hands are clean before signing the photo mat. Thank you!]


Wishing Well
Poem by Aminda Plenge


This wishing well is here today for family and friends.
Take and envelope, make a wish and please
drop it in.
As it falls into the well your wish, for the couple, will come true.
A token for the couple, to help them begin,
will be welcomed, too.
Please take the time to make a wish before the
day is trough.


Piggy Bank Wish for Each Table
Poem by Diane


Little piggy on the table
Will grant your wish if he is able
Drop some coins in his tummy
He finds the newlywed funds very yummy


Hershey Kiss Roses
Poem by Jennifer


I put two hershey kisses bottom end together and wrapped purple celophane type wrapping around them to make them look like rose buds. Then I placed them on a green floral stick and wrapped green tape around it to cover the wire and excess paper. Then I wrote a little message which read:

We wanted to thank you for sharing our day,
we wanted to thank you in a special way.
We've taken the time to make these for you,
and most of you know exactly what to do.
So open the rose and eat the kisses,
you'll go on your way and with our best wishes.

Then I rolled them up and made them look like little scrolls and wrapped each one with a gold piece of thread to hold it together and wrapped it around the rose.


Kiss
Poem by Durlabh Singh London.


When I kissed you
In an arid waste of that cheek
The tangle of your hair did dissect
Indulged in making a tale brief
Of some sombre trivial demise
Of hope forlorn or of rainy nights
And the communication between two hearts
Flowered perhaps in meadows of grass
Sweet whispers stopped not
A song of soul on warm lips
Neither charm away nor stop now
The wonder of love in mind?s crypts.
