Wedding poems, a perfect gift for your bride?
I have a sister and so I know weddings are awfully important to women. We guys don’t really pay much attention to it but for girls, it means something different altogether. They can’t settle for anything less than perfect. My fiancé is the example of someone who was planning her dream wedding, of course it did drive me crazy but what the heck? I wanted to marry her and I was willing to do it at any cost, even my own insanity! My sister was kind enough to remind me that I needed to get my bride a nice gift on my wedding night for all the trouble she was taking. I racked my head wondering what to give her and then my sister suggested several gifts, wedding poems or rather poetry being one of them!
I thought it would be rude to tell my sister that I thought her suggestions were rather silly. I remember talking to my fiancé and telling her about how silly some people’s ideas of gifts were and I mentioned poetry, to my surprise, for the first time I learnt that my fiancé loved poetry and infact appreciated it deeply. I had taken English major years ago and decided to put it to good use. I landed up writing several, very fitting, wedding poems and compiled them into a little book which had pictures of us from the years gone by. My wife was so very happy with the gift and I received a lot of loving for it! I can’t imagine me being as happy as my wife, if she had gifted me poetry. I indeed learnt the answer that night, to the age old question, Are men and women different?
