Mother in law's wedding

My Mum is getting married.

I know you may be wondering, why I’m standing here today

Well, I’m honoured and I’m privileged, to give my mum away

I know it may seem strange to some, but life moves on so fast

It’s never too late to start again, and move on from the past

She’s entitled to enjoy herself; she’s had a tough few years

She’s had her ups; she’s had her downs and even shed some tears

But it’s good to see her laughing; it’s good to see her smile

She hasn’t been this happy in a long, long while

It began around a year ago, of that I have no doubt

She started going to a dance, and she started eating out

We couldn’t understand it, but it made sense in the end

She’d met someone at dancing! She had a new Man Friend!

She had a twinkle in her eye, she was playing little games

And then one day we met this man, Alan was his name

It was Alan this and Alan that, It used to drive us mad

But if he made Mum happy, he can’t have been that bad

They went everywhere together, he really changed her life

They started out just dancing, he then asked her to be his wife

She didn’t say yes to start with, but then he asked once more

This time she felt the time was right, this time she was so sure

They started making wedding plans whilst painting the new flat

They bought their outfits and their rings and her friends all bought new hats

I’m glad they both found happiness, I’m glad they found each other

I’m glad that someone came along who’ll look after my mother

Now Alan is a lucky man, I’m sure you’ll all agree

As the lady he’s just married is a glamorous OAP!!

So come on everybody, everyone around the room

Please raise your glass and join me, as I toast the bride and groom
