Welcome To Family

On crossing teenage and entering manhood,
We wished our son should find a loving wife.
Someone who will accept him as he is,
Who will bring joy and cheer into his life.

On an auspicious day, you entered our home,
When our son solemnly tied the marital knot.
Friends and family celebrated that holy union,
And you conquered our hearts from the very start.

Ever since you stepped into our little home,
We accepted you as our long-awaited daughter.
We love you and hold you dear to our heart,
And pray your days be filled with giggles n’ laughter!

We are so glad to claim you as our own. 
With a pleasant demeanour, you our hearts have won.
Through thick and thin, we hope you would be with us. 
We are sure you would be a loving mate to our son.

You are heartily welcomed to our midst as a daughter.
Wish all success in everything that you persevere, 
We pray, no tears dampen your cheeks or fears cloud your sky.
We beseech God’s blessings on you in every sphere!
