On the sixth day of the month,
Being the fifth one of the year,
We congregate to celebrate
The wedding of the year.
Not a week too late (that was Wills and Kate)
But our own dear Phil and Gemma,
Who, in ceremony, have duly vowed
To be as one forever.
But the two of you may be asking,
On this happiest of days,
"How do we keep romance alive?
O tell us of the ways!"
Well, the secrets of a happy marriage,
They are a secret still.
But these few tips may bring success,
So heed them if you will.
If you fall out in bitter temper
Don't go to bed at night.
It will be far worse come morning,
So just stay up and fight.
A man should keep romance in bloom
With flowers and gifts that gleam,
And also, most importantly,
Keep his internet history clean.
A woman should pay attention
To those little things that matter,
Like vacuuming and ironing,
And when football's on, don't chatter!
And if your husband's eye might stray
Upon a lady passing by,
Why, 'tis only to remind him
That you're much fairer to the eye.
So it is said by those that know,
With certainty undiminished,
That two in love are incomplete,
Until, in marriage, they are finished.
