The Busy Bride by Vivienne Roos, London 

'I'm getting married quite soon....
I'm so happy...I'm over the moon!!

There's so much to do, but I am sorted.....I think?
Well...I've made sure that there's plenty to eat and enough to drink

There will be a HUGE buffet with puddings and a pretty pink prawn starter
I've arranged the flowers, written the name tags - even got the garter..

Yes!! It's going to be loads of fun..a veritable feast!
I've bought the buttonholes, booked the band and hired the priest

Got the beers, the champs, and the lemonades
Organised small and thoughtful gifts for my beautiful bridesmaids

I've booked the Marriot Hotel - the honeymoon suite
(also remembered to pack soft flat shoes for my soon to- be-sore- aching feet)

Done the 'something old, something borrowed, something blue'
and tomorrow we're all having our hair and nails done at exactly two

Been over the guest list a thousand times
Have called the best the best man and begged him not to fluff his lines

I've got bags and bags of rose petals and confetti
(and mum keeps saying 'eat something...try my spaghetti!')

Ah... I cannot wait to get to the church and to walk down that aisle
To hold my beloved and to see his gorgeous smile

for him to finally wear my golden wedding ring
and to hear that heavenly choir begin to sing

 oh my dear..I'm in such a tizz
....can someone please pour me a rather large bucks fizz?!...
