My Sisters Wedding Poem

This tradition started with my Grandpa on my Dads side. He wrote a poem for all of the kids when they got  married. Then those kids wrote poems for their kids. My Dad wrote my oldest brother one when he was married.. But since he passed away it moved to me to finish it off for my siblings. My sister got married last Friday, two days ago to a wonderful man named Bryan. The love of her life. This was her poem I wrote for her.

Soulmates.
two halves of the same soul, 
joining together in life's journey.
today we went to the temple,
to seal them for eternity.


After having 2 boys,
mom was yearning for a little girl.
finally to her delight,
she got her precious pearl.


Looking through home videos,
she claims she was ignored.
but in reality,
she was greatly adored.


Not much of a sports person,
accident prone to say the least.
although, her game was soccer,
and in that she was a beast.


As she got older,
she taught herself to sing and play the guitar.
I wouldn't be surprised,
if one day she became a star.


In High School, she met her special one,
Bryan is his name.
the first time she saw him,
he was playing a basketball game.


Hanging out everyday,
he became her best friend.
laughing, joking and playing,
it seemed it would never end.


Their first kiss is quite a story,
ask their friends, it's pretty funny.
I'm sure they would rein act it,
for a little bit of money.


Bryan left for Puerto Rico on his mission,
and Colbie was very sad.
faithfully, she wrote him every month,
and of that, I'm sure, Bryan was glad.


His mission was extended,
and Colbie became stressed.
he came home on her Birthday,
that present, was surely the best.


Taking naps on our couch,
soon became a routine.
while watching 'Friends' all day,
on the big TV screen.


The engagement couldn't wait any longer,
they just had to get married.
Kylie and I taking pictures,
in the mud we were buried.


Blind folded she was,
as he got down on one knee.
he popped the big question,
"Will you marry me?"


Colbie, Dad is up in Heaven now,
but he is right by your side,
He would never miss out on the day,
that you became a bride.


Although he is not here with you to hold your hand-
and give your heart away.
to a man HE chose to take care of you,
forever from this day.
Today as you place your hand in Bryan's,
with blessings and with pride.
just remember,that Dad is by your side.


She could not have asked for a better man,
to stand beside her until the very end.
he is not only her husband,but her very, best friend.


I love you Colbie and Bryan.
