Kind trends we've gathered here tonight
With happy hearts, and faces bright,
To greet this couple, who, you know,
Were married just ten years ago.
For years the custom it has been
As doubtless most of you have seen,
10 celebrate that joyful day,
The wedding anniversary.
There's weddings silver, gold and tin,
Diamond and crystal too come in,
There's one Of linen, one of wood,
And shingles, too, I've understood.
The single weddings all the rage
When the first born comes to spanking age,
And many here no doubt recall,
That the shinge wedding is the worst Of all.
Tonight, it is the wedding, tin,
To which we all have gathered in, .a
Bringing these tokens of good cheer
To this good couple standing here.
Accept these gifts with friendships true
Which all here present bear for you,
With wishes than your onward way,
May be one bright unclOuded day.
We've known you both for many year.
And am sure our presence here
Will better speak than tongue, or pen,
The warm regard we hold you in.
This little curly headed boy,
His fathers pride, his mothers joy.
May he from sorrow e'er be free
And life with him successful be-
As years roll on and pass away,
And hair now brown has turned to grew,
May you this evening oft recall,
With pleasant memories of all.
And when this evening we depart.
be this the language or each heart,
May God your onward journey bless,
And crown your days with happiness.
