    Oh wow, thank you, by God that really was quick. Thank you so much Leanne. What a brilliant idea for a comp. With a comp titled "A Quickie" I just want to say it was a pleasure to enter, quick as it was

    Thanks David

    Wedding Vows

    Today we’ll exchange, at our Wedding,
    Two sweet little bands precious gold rings.
    But if you should ever once let me down,
    Make me sad in time ever wear a frown,
    Then I'll repay you, with something more,
    Bury you alive and leave you to claw.
    Screaming at me yes, but yet Happy I'll be,
    For I would not hear you or this ever see.
    So think on as this, as the consequence,
    For marrying me, better not be nonsense.
    So let your vow today, be sweet and true,
    As alongside of you I pledge, this I’ll do.
