Pretty in Pisa she first caught his eye,

Entranced back in Edinburgh it was hard to say bye,

A distance romance they sustained for her MA,

Until love dictated he come to the UK.

They were in the same country at last – oh what bliss!

Yet still there were  journeys to make for a kiss.

Guildford and Liverpool threw them asunder,

But their love was so strong that it’s really no wonder,

That later in Godalming, they made their first nest,

And then searched around for the place they’d go next.

Happy in Hampstead they blossomed together.

Life was so great, it could not have been better.

‘Til devoted in Dulwich he asked for her hand,

And nuptials in Lucca were lavishly planned!

 

We’re over the moon you have married today,

But we really are sorry to miss your big day.

So please clink your glasses – that’s it loud and clear!

And let’s all shout out a congratulat’ry cheer:

“You are Mr and Mrs! You’ve done it! Well done!

We wish you good luck, lots of love and good fun!”
