Happy Married Life

Rejoice and shout with laughter
Throw away any contrary matter
For marriage is a life promise
And wedding is done just once

Since God has been so gracious
To let you witness this bliss
With his grace and in his pleasure
To day shall ever be a treasure

Marriage is a life contract
Of time of laughter and of the rest
With his love and in his pleasure
Today shall always be a treasure

Rejoice and shout with laughter
Throw away any contrary matter
For wedding is done just once
With you, family, friends and I rejoice


To  Iyabode.
29th July 2017. is her wedding day.
