"Look at wee Colin......"

The first wedding that I recall,

Was as a six year old,

Mum knew I would have been best 'fit' 

I did, as I was told.

I had been asked to take a role

In wedding, I was 'game',

It should have been the one 'bove me

Since, he held groom's surname

However, mum knew that I was

To assist, MUCH  more willing

 The day was one I'll ne'er forget,

I found it so fulfilling 

 

Another cousin'd take part too

Bridesmaid, cous'n of groom,

 His mother's sister's eldest girl,   

'Twas also MY day to 'bloom'

Was driven to the bridesmaids home

My aunt and uncle, too

HER sister, young  (aged ten to twelve,)

 With pride, went "ga ga goo"       

 

Aft' getting out of car, I heard,

'Twas said with loving warmness

"Ach mammy, look at wee Colin

Isn't he gorgeous?"
