My Sisters Wedding

The following is the poem I wrote and read for my sister Jodie (The Chookster) and Stevie (Wonder) Whites wedding...it was a perfect laid back ceremony and reception, held on the beaches around South Cronulla in NSW, Australia...Jan 23, 2009

Loving each other…
a poem for my sister and my new brother


Rarely do things match perfectly
In this amazing existence we call life,
But right here is a couple perfectly suited
for the label of Husband and Wife.

Together be proud of your own example
That is “Loving each other no matter what”
And proud too of your effect on others
As sometimes it’s this that we’ve forgot.

There’s no doubt you can begin this marriage
With your heads held high
As your relationship has already,
Set limits nearing the sky.

Two totally devoted hearts
Covering the span of 11 years,
And a beautiful bouncing boy Toby
Who fills all with laughter and joyous tears.

I wish for you both the deepest of happiness
As you head off on your married starts,
And as a brotherly reminder
Look for it no further…than within your own…pure hearts.

Lots and lots of love
And huge hugs and kisses,
For my new brother, Steve and my sister Jodie
His very soon to be Mrs.
