Don't forget the confetti for the Poetry Bus this week.

This week Argent has set us the task of writing something suitable to be read at a wedding. I thought beautiful thoughts and tried to conjure up some wisdom and sound advice, but they wouldn't produce a poem, then my sense of humour invaded the task and I think my contribution would be better suited to being read at the reception than during the ceremony itself - or maybe not at all!

It's full of sweeping generalisation and is a bit 'tongue in cheek'.

The Seven Stages of Marriage.

Fire and passion.

Flowers and candles.

Nappies and teething.

Debts and bills.

Trials and tribulations.

Fanning the embers.

Cocoa and cuddles.
