Best Sadwedding Poems


The Wedding Gift

The ceremony was almost over
As they began to cut the cake
A wedding made of fairy tales
What a lovely couple they make

It's time for the bride and groom
To have their wedding dance
The bride was so enchanted
The groom in a love sick trance

The bride dressed in solid white
Someting borrowed, something blue
Showered with many wedding gifts
They decided to open a few

First they opened some crystal
And then some silverware
Then a gift for their honeymoon
Some sexy underwear

Then the groom picked up a box
They thought was surely a clock
He pulled the ribbon, the bomb went off
It felt like an aftershock

A jealous lover from her past
With revenge, inside his head
Sent the gift, a final goodbye
As the bride and groom lay dead

They found him three days later
At the bottom of the lake
A wedding made of fairytales
Has now become a wake

The Wedding Rings

Frozen solid in a block of ice
A wedding ring shines bright
The blizzard came out of nowhere
Trapping her in the night

Three days later they find her body
Frozen from her head to her toes
A stranger all alone lost in the snow
A woman that nobody knows

They brought her body back to town
And laid her in the stable
What happened next was miraculous
Some say only a fable

Weeks went by that turned to months
But her body would never decay
She looked the same as the day she was found
Until that faithful day

A farmer in the spring was plowing his field
And the bones of a man was found
A wedding ring was glistening in the sun
Where he laid on top of the ground

They brought the bones back to town
And laid them beside his bride
As soon as the two were together again
Her skin became broken and dried

They buried them both beneath an oak
That stood between two springs
When no names were found to write on the cross
They mounted their wedding rings
