You put the ring on my finger With hopes of wedding bells. Look out your window, There went your hopes. Welcome to wedding hell. White dress and pink invitations, Beautiful flowers, crying mothers. Blue dress and gray invitations, Psychedelic goldfish, sighing mothers. Welcome to wedding hell. Send out all the invitations in Spanish, Tell the priest to speak in French. Serve up the giant fortune cookie/wedding cake, Pour up the nonalcoholic Tequila Kool-Aid. Welcome to wedding hell. Hopeful bridesmaids and horny groomsmen. All wearing pink taffeta sequins and large hats. Fill out gift registries for pastels and china patterns. And not receive a damn thing we wanted. Welcome to wedding hell. Family members with no dress code, Showing up in overalls and work boots. Picking their noses and farting near the food table. Fishing for the psychedelic goldfish. Welcome to wedding hell. Tattooed smiles, pretend nice for a day. Mothers pretending to get along For the sake of the children's sanities. But spouting off, They grow up so quick... Welcome to wedding hell. When all is said and done, And we're thousands of dollars poorer, We'll still be the same as before. Saying We went through all that for this? Say goodbye to wedding hell.
Reason for writing:
My ex-fiance and I were planning a wedding. Needless to say, we didn't go through with it. But I got this cute poem out of the whole experience.
