While we were on honeymoon, one of the guests from both our civil and soul weddings sent us a poem that she had written in response to our marriage.
She wants to remain anonymous, but said: “Friday and Saturday was like being in the middle of a romantic fairy tale – with the two main characters outstandingly elegant and beautiful. All your friends were supportive and funny and obviously loved you both. Every minute of each day was so carefully thought through, it literally flowed… I’ve told everyone here how John [Mostyn]’s wonderful voice made the first reading come alive, and Susan [Neuville] made the spoken words of the second reading almost musical – I was aware of the ringing sound of “iron on stone”.”
And here is the poem that our guest sent us:
A NUPTIAL MELODY
The spirit of our love is here
No one can match what we have known today
And as the years roll on you know, my dear,
We can but hope that this is how we’ll stay.
This is no dream – no myth – no lets pretend.
This is for life, this is for life my friend.
As each day dawns,
What a melody.
My heart is light,
My soul is free.
The spirit of our love is here:
It will stretch on into eternity.
This everlasting love you know, my dear,
Enables us to know we have the key.
This is the key, the key to love that conquers all.
As each day dawns,
What a melody.
My heart is light, my soul is free.
My heart is light, my soul is free.
