Weddings don’t always have to be serious; adding a light-hearted, funny poem can make your ceremony memorable and entertaining for your guests.

As a Celebrant in Sheffield and Yorkshire, I love working with couples who want to bring joy and laughter to their special day. A number of my couples have chosen “The Giraffe & The Monkey” by Daniel Thompson. Alex and Matt had their wedding celebrant ceremony at Whirlow Farm, Sheffield and had their friend Grace read it. Read this hilarious poem on another blog post here.

Below, I’ve included another humorous wedding poem that’s perfect for couples looking to add a bit of fun to their ceremony. Its called “He’ll Be There For You” by Louise Cuddon. Paul and Ian chose this funny poem for their ceremony at Kenwood Hall Hotel, Sheffield. It was read by friend, Vince.

I’ll Be There For You (adapted)

By Louise Cuddon

He’ll be there, through thick and through thin,
When your mind’s in a mess and your head’s in a spin,
When your plane’s been delayed, and you’ve missed the last train,
When life is just threatening to drive you insane.  

When your thrilling whodunit has lost its last page,
When somebody tells you, you’re looking your age,
When your coffee’s too cool, and your wine is too warm,
When the forecast said “Fine”, but you’re out in a storm.  

When your quick break hotel, turns into a slum,
And a bite gets infected and makes your bum numb,
When you park for five minutes in a resident’s bay,
And return to discover you’ve been towed away.  

When the jeans that you bought in hope or in haste,
Just stick on your hips and don’t reach around your waist.
When the food you most like brings you out in red rashes,
When your laptop is faulty and the bloody thing crashes.  

So remember your sweetheart and don’t be a tool,
When you break a rule, when you act the fool,
When you’ve got the flu, when you’re in a stew,
When you’re last in the queue, don’t feel blue

’cause I’m telling you, he’ll be there.
