I'll try again. Message said that TiddlyPom was not able to receive PM's or had disabled it. Then again perhaps I was doing something wrong...its not unknown for me to balls things up and blame others. Apparently.

Dreamy... erm... thanks.
Actually I'm not sure the origins of why he wrote it but I wasn't aware his wife was dead??

I was married in Catholic church but I'm not religious and my family are not either and the priest read that as a non-religious reading and found it appropriate so I think it's OK

We had this at our Wedding:

Hope it hasn't been suggested before, as I haven't read all the posts on this thread.

breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots
I wanna be yours

I wanna be your raincoat
for those frequent rainy days
I wanna be your dreamboat
when you want to sail away
Let me be your teddy bear
take me with you anywhere
I don’t care
I wanna be yours

I wanna be your electric meter
I will not run out
I wanna be the electric heater
you’ll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
hold your hair in deep devotion
Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
that’s how deep is my devotion
Nice!

I guess "I wanna Visa" doesn't cut it.

Gimme a Visa,
Before I have a siezure,
Or I'll ask Lisa.

There was a man from Bris-bane,
Who tried to be funny again,
But as he typed, it came out shite,
In the main.
