A wedding is a very special event. Although not every marriage ends in love for life, but all the newlyweds believe that it is their couple that will retain the best feelings for many years of marriage. And this is right, because faith in happiness will inevitably attract happy events.
On the wedding day, and guests need to show the newlyweds their joy for them, and here are the wishes on the wedding day. This is not the place for templates, because everyone should individually congratulate loved ones. But a few years ago a peculiar fashion for congratulations in verses appeared. And everything would be fine, but the verses are not their own, but taken “somewhere”: from postcards, from the Internet, from school girl profiles ...
Today, it is considered something normal and mundane when handing a gift to the newlyweds to read a rhyme printed in a postcard. But is it really pleasant for many? Can such a congratulation be considered a speech from the heart? Perhaps, once upon a time, about twenty years ago, when congratulations on the wedding were still customary in your own words, the verses were something unusually original. And then they were written, in most cases, by the congratulators themselves. Therefore, even not too folding verses were of great value to the bride and groom. But can a verse that has already sounded somewhere please? The time allotted for presenting gifts and congratulations turns into boring, long-lasting minutes that, in fact, are of no interest to anyone.
But you can write congratulations on the wedding in your own words, and not necessarily in verse. Pure and sincere speech addressed to the bride and groom perfectly replaces the sugary lines stolen in postcards. To make such a greeting truly original, use a few rules:
1. Forget about the standard, like: "Congratulations on the wedding, I wish you happiness, love and health." Come up with something of your own.
2. Do not congratulate “in three words,” but also avoid long speeches for several minutes. After all, you do not want the guests to fall asleep while you read your congratulations? Ideally, it should last a couple of minutes, plus / minus one minute. And this is taking into account the pauses.
3. When drawing up the congratulations to the wedding in your own words, first of all, imagine yourself in the place of lovers. It is unlikely that you will wish yourself bad. Draft what you consider most important in an ideal family.
4. Now think of the bride and groom. Perhaps you are familiar with only one of them. If with both, it's even better. Ponder what family values are central to their understanding? Draft everything that might work in a draft.
5. View the resulting list. If any phrases contradict each other, cross them out. From the rest, add text that is not too simple and not too abstruse. Do not use sentences like: "Although you have quarreled so often so far, I hope everything will work out after the wedding." In no case! Everything should be positive. And remember: congratulations on the wedding in your own words should not reveal any personal secrets of lovers.
6. Reread. If it sounds good, rewrite it into a beautiful postcard.
7. If you still really want to compose a verse from yourself, do it. But before you read it at the wedding, announce that it is your own. Firstly, it will cause interest, and secondly, the newlyweds will appreciate it. Your verse is a very special thing.
On the day of the wedding, you can read the written from the postcard or say it yourself, having previously learned. If you choose the second, nevertheless keep the card at hand: suddenly you get worried and forget something.
When wedding greetings in your own words or poems from a postcard will sound, your appeal will be one of the best. Because in it will be present that which is not in most congratulations - the soul.
