A Wedding at Halstead House

'Sheer Poetry at Halstead House'

Congratulations to Charlotte and Luke Massey who were married on Saturday 25 July 2009 at Halstead House.

Detailed is a beautiful poem written by Charlotte and delivered with great emotion by her father during his speech. With kind permission from Charlotte, I have published her poem, below.

Please note this poem is the copyright of Charlotte Massey.

The Wedding

A marriage requires a bride and groom,
Two people that become one.
In that marriage there will always be,
One love, one soul, one song.

Here comes the bride, a glowing smile,
Eyes that well with happy tears
Holding on to Dad's strong, steady hand,
That has guided her through all the years.

Down the aisle to her waiting groom,
From father and daughter, onto husband and wife,
The two most special men around
With whom she shares her life.

The sacred vows and exchange of rings
Are both symbols of eternity,
And she will take his name as hers,
So together they will forever be.

Leaving the room as man and wife,
To celebrate this happy day,
Surrounded by family and special friends,
They eat and dance the day away.

Wonderful food and nerve-wrecking speeches
All add to the laughter and fun.
With photographs and film galore,
To bring back memories when the day is done.

Music and dancing throughout the night,
With everyone in such high spirits,
The most amazing day of their lives
And they're so glad you're here to share in it.
