If you
go to a wedding, hereย’s what it means
No one wears trainers and
no one wears jeans
Your best new clothes are
all that you wear
And everyone in your whole
family is there
Even some cousins that
youย’ve never known
And the grown-ups all say
ย“Oh, how much you have grown!ย”
So everyoneย’s sitting in
one big room
(except Sally and Richard,
the bridge and groom)
Then all of a sudden things
quieten down
And music starts playing
and people turn round
And really slowly, Sally
walks in
And sheย’s prettier now than
sheย’s ever been.
Sheย’s a bridge and sheย’s
really great looking today
(when normally she looks
just kind of okay)
She walks in and stands
with her dad for a while
As Richard her boyfriend,
awaits in the aisle
His hair is all combed and
heย’s wearing a tie
And then Sallyย’s mum starts
to sniffle and cry.
And now it comes time for the
ย“get-marriedย” part
The Registrar says that
weย’re ready to start
So she talks and she talks
about serious things
Then their friend Chris
steps up holding two rings
He gives one to the groom
and the other to the bride
Then his girlfriend, Janaki
pulls him aside.
Then Sally and Richard kind of
look at each other
And another big sniffle
comes from Sallyย’s mother
And Sally and Richard put
on the wedding rings
And they talk and they
promise each other some things
They promise that theyย’ll
love each other a lot
And help one another no
matter what
And be with each other the
rest of their life
Then the Registrar says
ย“Now you are husband and wifeย”.
Then everyoneย’s in such a big
happy mood
And you go to a party with
very much food
Where you dance with some
grown-ups and drink some wine
And then do a conga-dance
in one long line
ย‘till Sally and Richard
drive off in a car
and everyoneย’s thinking how
happy they are
So we all yell goodbye and
throw handfuls of rice
Then the whole thing is
over. Weddings are nice
