A basket of candles that come in a pair
In all different colors, for you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place.
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company
You two have for dinner.
The yellow candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night,
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentines Day!
Now, when your first marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby.
And just when you thought you’d put these away
Take the blue ones out for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left – for the big two five
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.
Congratulations (Brides Name) and (Grooms Name)
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget – blow them out before bed!
