But the old traditions die hard, and despite these apparent new freedoms, the word 'wedding' still retains so many connotations, controlling our imaginations in ways that can feel alienating or limiting. When it comes to the 'wedding poem', even a Star Trek themed do, with guests in bumpy skull-caps, can still translate the same old Shakespeare sonnet into Klingon.
This anthology aims to shake that up, featuring poems you won't find on any 'lists' in your frantic Google search. Alternative poems for alternative weddings, be they small, huge, camp as Christmas, hilarious, glamorous, shot-gun, a third wedding held in a nursing home, or the low-key but profound culmination of a forty-year love. If you're looking for a non-cringey wedding poem, or want to be reminded of the multiplicity of love, this is the book for you.
