Getting Married Means You’ll Have

by Nicholas Gordon

Getting married means you'll have
Someone's hand to hold,
Even when you're feeling sick,
Even when you're old.

It means when you sit down to eat,
Someone will be there,
So you won't have to tell your day
To an empty chair.

It means that when you need some help,
Someone will help out,
Someone always near to you
So you won't have to shout.

But best of all is when it's time
To turn out all the lights:
You won't have to be alone
Those long and scary nights.

So even though you don't have toys,
You don't have to care:
Once you're married you can be
Each other's teddy bear.

If you choose Getting Married Means You’ll Have by Nicholas Gordon for your wedding reading, then it’s fair to say that getting married also means you’ll have wedding bands for life too (if you exchange rings as part of your ceremony). In that case, you may be interested in reading about what to do before you go shopping for the rings. Don't forget, there's also plenty more where this came from!
