Alina’s Poem
Alina's Poem
So the story begins on a fresh spring day
Both sat at a laptop in complete disarray
With modern lives so busy how does one meet
their one true love, for ever keeps
In true modern form they turn to the web
To answer their dreams of hoping to wed.
So the search began with a click of a mouse
Witty profile created to stand out from the crowd
Like shopping for clothes you select your criteria…
Height, hair colour, career, marital status and year
With a strike of a key the results begin to appear
a selection of options to peruse and revere
With a wink and a message the conversation began
Alina and Simon were clearly a fan
On the 21st of May the pair finally did meet
At Harry’s Bar in the City, to find was a feet.
The connection was clear, the pair chatted for hours
As true love worked its magical powers
Far too much was shared but neither did care
As they knew from that moment it was a true love affair.
Within a matter of months they were Greenwich bound.
Chateau Sambolina had been found.
It didn’t take long for the family to expand
A friend for Reo had been planned.
Along came Millie making their family complete
But unfortunately it ended bittersweet.
Now jumping ahead, on September Six
A weekend away out in the sticks
They pitched their tent on the Isle of Shell
The setting was perfect, some would say swell
With a picnic in tow they headed to the beach
The sea lapping at the shore just out of reach
Simon then found the perfect spot
Nestled in the sand dunes, right on top
Beach, Bubbles and Food, they enjoyed the sunset
The orange and blue sky they’d never forget
Then out of the blue Simon reached for a shell
And asked Alina to be his sweet belle
Without a shadow of doubt her answer was yes
There was certainly no need for Simon to stress
With 9 months to go the countdown began
Their dream wedding day, they started to plan
The criteria was simple, sun, sea and sand
Cyprus was chosen, it would be grand
The venue, flights and hotel booked
Nothing had been overlooked
The months passed quickly and before they knew
The hen and stag do were in view
First the hen and they were Bristol bound
A doll, some straws and cake were found
The day was relaxed and ever so chill
With afternoon tea and bubbles, the spa was just brill
To finish the night they partied in style
43 will remain infamous for quite a while.
Next it was time for the boys to depart
Residents of York stay home if you’re smart
The night began with the ball and chain in tow
The beers and shots certainly did flow
The following day the activities began
With their balls inflated wiping out Simon the plan
Bouncing and tumbling so much fun to be had
The bruises to follow would be so bad
Then onto the pub for the drinking to start
It didn’t take long until they were drunk as a fart
As the weeks flew by the day soon came
To pack their bags and board the plane
A chilled few days to soak up the sun
Seeing their guests, it was so fun
Soon they woke, it was their wedding day
The setting was perfect, in Paphos Bay
Now here we are at the Olympic lagoon
To celebrate with the bride and groom
The love they share is clear to see
I’m sure you all must agree
We wish them well as man and wife
As they begin their long and happy life.
