Lost for words? The Original Poet can help!

We asked Lizzie Mole, The Original Wedding Poet, what she'd suggest for a couple who are looking for a special reading for their ceremony, but are struggling to find anything that speaks to them. Read on to find out what he had to say...

Poem in gold foil font and tied with a ribbon from the Original Poet

Why not try a completely original, bespoke rhyming speech or poem? When my customers come to me, I ask them to answer a simple questionnaire requesting details about their lives – funny stories, nicknames, how they met, where they got engaged, and so on. Then I weave these thoughts into a rhyming poem. They’re available as an email, so they can be read during the ceremony, although many opt for the foiled, framed and gift-wrapped option, which makes a beautiful art piece and lasting memory of the special day.

A bespoke poem is a truly original gift and when used in place of a speech, can take a huge amount of pressure off of those who’ve been asked to give an address.
