Wedding Day
The Happy Couple
OUR STORY
How we got here
A boy from the Bay
met an Avalon girl one day
the first time he saw her
his heart sailed away
she pulled up in her Pontiac G5 with grace
He grinned ear to ear on the step of 17 Meeker Place
She a young nurse with a future so bright
he an engineer dreaming of building things right
Both smitten from the start ''love at first sight''
Their first date commenced, O'Rielly's for moose nachos and a pint
First date done-Victoria just couldn't wait
she asked for a second right out the gate
she smartened him up as the years rolled along
and convinced him to get not one..but two puppy dogs!
He loves all the toys- boats, bikes, engines that roar
She rolls her eyes but always says "okay, just one ride more"
Between all the laughter, hard work and good cheer
It felt like a blink, but it's been over ten years
So here they are now finally saying "I do"
though truth be told, it is nothing brand new
Over a decade of adventure and love tried and true
The wedding just makes it offical for these two!
Wedding Party
No bridemaids dressed in matching hue
No groomsmens standing in a que
No grand production, no wedding fuss
That's just not really 'very us'
