novelxo Chapter 19 The Poems
Accompaniment music as background.....so peaceful and relaxing with rustling of rain and soft wind. Hannah started to recite the poem.
Today will be perfect
In every single way.
A beautiful fairy tale
For your wedding day.
The theme of your day
Is to have love and laughter
And to live your days
Happily ever after.
Ari' responded:
Living happily is What we need to survive,
So how does one keep
The magic alive?
How do you light a spark
That never goes out?
And how does one live a life
Without fear or doubt?
Hannah...
How do some people manage
To keep their love strong?
And how do some couples
Always feel like they belong?
What do you need to do
To stay in love forever
And make each day special
And grow fonder together?
Ari...
Well, these very questions
You must address every day.
You must take the time
To go out of your way,
To always share love
And always share laughter,
To do whatever it takes
To live happily ever after.
Hannah...
Here is a recipe I think is a must,
So let's begin with Always having trust
Don't forget it's importantTo have total respect,
And to always stay loyal
To keep your love perfect.
Ari...
You must communicate
Each and every day.
Three special little words
You must never forget to say,"I love you."
It's amazing
How these words make you feel
Happy, safe, and valued,
And they will keep your love real.
Hannah...
A simple act of kindness
Goes a long, long way.
Blend it with understanding
And you can't go astray.
Don't forget friendship.
It will help you to cope.
Add a sprinkle of faith And an abundance of hope.
Ari and Hannah together...
Remember your smile.
It is beautiful to see.
It can brighten one's day.
It can make you feel free.
So our wish for you both Always have love and laughter,
And we pray that you will enjoy
You're happily ever after.
Ari is looking affectionately at Hannah the whole time reciting the poem.
Hannah looked straight to the newlywed couple.
After the poem was read....a toast to the couple from the bridesmaid and groomsman.
Ari and Hannah: we would like to offer a toast to Eddie and Claire, Ari and I will recite another poem by Linda Harrison... Clap...clap...clap...clap
Hannah...music please
Ari and Hannah together:
Marriage is precious and to be treasured.
The love that you have can never be measured.
It joins you as one, not just with a ring,
But a future together and what it will bring.
Keep the love alive and make it last.
Remember the good times don't live in the past.
The bond that you have shows the world that you care,
Not just for yourselves, but for the family you share.
Who knows what the future may hold?
Stay strong together until you grow old.
Be there for each other, keep good memories alive.
With love and respect you will always survive.
Today is your day to cherish forever,
Never forget what brought you together.
This special time is just for both of you,
A time to remember when you've said, "I do."
Both Ari and Hannah are looking into each other's eyes affectionately and holding each other's hands. Cheers...cheers... cheers. Guests are all misty-eyed.....smiling and shouting congratulations! Ari was so emotional, he gave Hannah a bone crushing hug and kissed her on her forehead.
Minel and the girls are crying. Raul and Patrick's faces are all red. Michael is misty-eyed and Chloe was sobbing silently. Leslie, Ava, Abner are looking affectionately at both Ari and Hannah, face darkened with tears of sadness and joy. Ima was crying.
All of them are wishing for another chance for Ari and Hannah. It is indeed an emotional part of the wedding celebration as the newlyweds are stunned and happy as their wedding was a witness for the continuance of the great love that is yet to come to both Ari and Hannah.
All of a sudden, the music "Perfect" is played....the emcee invites all the guests to dance. Ari did not waste time, he grabbed Hannah's hand and walked to the center of the ballroom to dance, almost dragging her. It was so much joy, happiness and love swirling on the air. More dancing, wine, food and fun exchanges....
