A Wedding Toast


A wedding greeting to you both
Now that you have plight your troth
Friends and family bearing witness
To becoming Mr and Mrs MacInnes
It filled my heart with avuncular pride
When John took Danielle as his bride.

John, Keep our Dani safe from harm
Protected well by your strong arm
Love and respect our sister’s daughter
And treat her as we know you ought ter
Have a long, healthy prosperous life
Free from pain and loss and strife
Grow old together as friends forever
Knowing you can count on cover
and support from me and mine.
We’ll be there for you - any time.
Black, Fitzsimmons and Boyiatjis
Are proud to welcome clan MacInnes
To our family, without exception
From this day – your wedding reception.

And so dear guests upstanding be!
Charge glasses: Whisky, gin or tea
Join me in wishing the happy couple
A life together free of trouble
Where love and lifelong passions bloom
Join in this toast: The Bride and Groom”


Uncle John
