Marriott Hotels is celebrating the nation’s romantic mood for marriage by opening up a search to find wedding poets from across Britain. Poems play a special part in wedding celebrations and Marriott is keen to share the nation’s love of waxing lyrical by creating a collection of poems that reflect the love, romance, happiness and humour associated with the big day.

Manic Monday's Poem of the day!


Hello all!  We hope you’ve had a lovely weekend enjoying the first spring-like weather we’ve had in a long time!  It's been a very busy day indeed, here at Marriott Love Poems HQ, sifting through all the weekend and Monday poems...

Today, we nominate Nicholas Aris’ ‘The Wedding Jitters’ as our poem of the day, for its beautiful simplicity - hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

The Wedding Jitters – by Nicholas Aris, Nottingham

The birds sing;
The bells sing;
You can forget your lines,
But not the ring.

Cut the cake;
It soon goes;
But if you dance,
Mind her toes.

Confetti falls;
Your mother bawls;
The car pulls off,
And doesn’t stall.

Now you’re wed;
Happy ever after;
May your days,
Be filled with laughter.
