"During our wedding ceremony last summer, three of our friends read poems. Two of the poems were romantic, but we wanted to mix things up, so the third one was actually funny...For a bit of comic relief, our friend Nora read the funny poem &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;#x27;ll Be There For You&amp;amp;#8221; by Louise Cuddon: I&amp;#x27;ll be there, my darling, through thick and through thin When your mind&amp;#x27;s in a mess and your head&amp;#x27;s in a spin When your plane&amp;#x27;s been delayed, and you&amp;#x27;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&amp;#x27;re looking your age When your coffee&amp;#x27;s too cool, and your wine is too warm When the forecast said, &amp;amp;#8220;Fine,&amp;amp;#8221; but you&amp;#x27;re out in a storm When your quick break hotel, turns into a slum And your holiday photos show only your thumb When you park for five minutes in a resident&amp;#x27;s bay?\uFFFD\uFFFD And return to discover you&amp;#x27;ve been towed away When the jeans that you bought in hope or in haste Just stick on your hips and don&amp;#x27;t reach round your waist When the food you most like brings you out in red rashes When as soon as you boot up the bloody thing crashes So my darling, my sweetheart, my dear... When you break a rule, when you act the fool When you&amp;#x27;ve got the flu, when you&amp;#x27;re in a stew When you&amp;#x27;re last in the queue, don&amp;#x27;t feel blue &amp;#x27;cause I&amp;#x27;m telling you, I&amp;#x27;ll be there. It still makes me smile! I liked that the poem was sweet but funny, and it was really nice to see guests smiling and laughing during the ceremony!
