Maybe P isn't the best choice for a wedding; he's no McNamara's Band.
Glad to hear that folks are willing to hitch-up a second time;
I, speaking from not nearly so many marriages as that famous wife from Bath
can only grace ye with these conservative words from Yeats:
And may her bridegroom bring her to a house
Where all's accustomed, ceremonious;
For arrogance and hatred are the wares
Peddled in the thoroughfares.
How but in custom and in ceremony
Are innocence and beauty born?
Ceremony's a name for the rich horn,
And custom for the spreading laurel tree.
