Wishing well verses
We hope that you will join us on this our special day
To celebrate our union in a very special way
To make it easy for you to avoid a shopping dwell
We thought that instead we would have a wishing well
Because we have been together for a little while now
We have collected all our household things before we took our vows
So please don't be offended at our type of request
Just telling everyone our wish we thought would be the best
We've been together a few years now
We have posts and pans and linen and towels
We have glasses and toasters, really quite a few
So instead of move gifts, we suggest this to you
If it doesn't offend and it won't send you running
What we would really appreciate is quite simply money
We know choosing gifts can be such a pain
And this way there is no change of bringing the same
We are sending out this invitation
And hope you will join our celebration
If to send a gift is your intention
In modesty we would like to mention
We have already got a kettle and a toaster
Crockery, placemats and coasters
So rather than something we have already got
Please give us money for our saving pot
But most importantly we request
That you turn up as our wedding guest
We really would appreciate a little money of our own
Instead of a little gift for our new home.
We know you want to find something nice
But it's such a hassle to find the right price
So come and enjoy the day all sunny
We really would appreciate a little money.
If you were thinking of giving a gift,
to help us on our way
A gift of cash towards our house,
would really make our day
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift,
feel free to surprise us in your own way
Our home is quite complete now
We've been together long
So please consider our request and do not take us wrong
A delicate request it is, we hope you understand
Please play along as it will give our married life a hand
The tradition of the wishing well is one that's known by all
Go to the well, toss in a coin and as the coin does fall
Make a wish upon that coin and careful as you do
Cause as the well's tradition goes your wishes will come true
So on this special day of ours, the day that we'll be wed
Don't hunt for special gifts but give money instead
And as you drop the envelope with money great and small
Remember, make your wish as you watch your money fall
Now we are to be Mr & Mrs
We don't need a wedding list of wishes
We have a kettle, toaster and microwave
We require a house for which we have to save
If you would like to give us a gift
A cheque or vouchers would give us a lift
We like to think of it as our 'Wishing Well'
Which will be filled with your love, we can tell
This wishing well is here today for family and friends.
Take an envelope, make a wish and please drop it in.
As it falls into the well your wish, for the couple, will come true.
A token for the couple, to help them begin, will be welcomed too.
Please take the time to make a wish before the day is through.
Soon you will hear our wedding bell
As friends and family wish us well
Our household thoughts are not brand new
We have twice the things we need for two
Since we have our share of dishes and bedding
We're having instead a wishing well wedding
But more important we ask of your
Your prayers of love and blessings too
More than just kisses so far we've shared
Our home has been made with love and care
Most things we need we've already got
And in our home we can't fit a lot
A wishing well we thought would be great
But only if you wish to participate
A gift of money is place in the well
Then make a wish… but shhh don't tell
Once we've replace the old with the new
We can look back and say it was thanks to you
And in return for your kindness we're sure
That one day soon you will get what you wished for
Because at first we lived in sin
We've got the sheets and a rubbish bin
A gift from you would be swell
But we'd prefer a donation to our Wishing Well
They have their dishes and towels for two
They have pots and pans and oven mitts too
So what do you get fro the Bride & Groom
Whose house is setup in every room
Their house needs repairs and some upgrades too
But you can not register for carpet and glue
A well that holds wishes is the way to go
So lets make it easy for all that know
An envelope will be provided for those who have room
To give a monetary whish to the Bride and Groom
A wishing well will be on display at the reception hall
To attach your wishes, for the couple, with love from all
To support us on our special day
you may wish to follow with tradition and bring a gift.
Or alternatively you may like to
help us make our honeymoon a litte more special.
For this reason we have chosen a wedding wishing well.
The wishing well will be at the reception
where we can receive your best wishes and contribution.
Friends, as you are aware we already have most items needed to set up house.
This is the reason for us choosing a wedding wishing well.
At the reception there will be a wishing well
in which we would love to receive your greeting card and contribution.
This will be a great way for us to pool together
and buy ourselves something quite luxurious, or to make our honeymoon even better.
