Bridesmaid's Speech
The love of Paul and Nikki
Brings us gathered here today,
I'm honoured that they've asked me
For some words I'd like to say.
​
They met way back at air cadets
Where Paul caught Nikki's eye,
And stalk him, yes, young Nikki did
And now we all see why.
​
True love is clear for all to see
From this amazing couple,
But fun and laughter play their part
So this may make you chuckle.
​
For Nikki, she's from Cheshire
Yes she's very posh you see,
She loves her food and cake
So she's the perfect friend to me.
​
And Paul he loves his sports
And tries a new one every year,
The phrase that springs to mind
Is "all the gear, but no idea."
​
So on a trip to Thailand
Scuba diving was the notion,
For Paul to pop the question
At the bottom of the ocean.
​
And what an old romantic
This man Paul turned out to be,
Until he dropped the Go-Pro
Nearly lost it in the sea!
​
Your lives they are so hectic
Paul's so busy this is known,
And Nikki does remind you
Where's your wallet, glasses, phone?
​
Paul - Nikki keeps you grounded
And her love for you is true,
That much is clear for all to see
By the way she looks at you.
​
Nikki - Paul he is your soul mate
Full of spirit, fun and grit,
And to see you both together
Well you are the perfect fit.
​
May marriage bring you closer
New adventures at their start,
A journey like no other
Of which I'm glad to be a part.
​
Enjoy your wedding on this day
I'm sure the stress was worth it,
You both deserve the best in life
Because to me you're perfect.
