Poems for the couple

The poems below are written by us. Use them as they are, modify them, or pick a line — no source reference needed.

The most searched wedding poems in Norway are still protected by copyright, which lasts 70 years after the author’s death. That’s why we write our own rather than reproducing others’.

Safe and solemn. Works no matter how well you know the couple.

1. 1

   Two people said yes today and made the world a little safer. Congratulations to you both.

2. 2

   May you have many years, and many reasons to laugh about them later. Happy anniversary.

3. 3

   Love isn’t just the big days. It’s also the washing up, and who gets up first. Good luck with both.

4. 4

   Today is a celebration. Tomorrow is everyday life. May you like each other just as much in both.

For those close to you. Insert their names in the first line, and the poem lifts immediately.

1. 1

   There are couples you have to cheer on. And there are couples you’re just allowed to watch. You’ve always been the latter.

2. 2

   You’re good for each other in a way that’s easy to see from the outside. Happy anniversary — and for everything that comes after.

3. 3

   May you always have something to laugh about, someone to come home to, and enough coffee for both of you.

4. 4

   No one knows what’s coming. You stand here and say yes anyway. That’s the bravest thing there is. Congratulations.

Humour suits wedding cards. But avoid jokes about divorce and exes — they’ve never landed well.

1. 1

   Now you’re each other’s next of kin, favourite person and remote control opponent. Good luck.

2. 2

   You’ve already managed to plan a wedding together. The rest should go fine. Congratulations!

3. 3

   “Yes” was the easiest word you’ll say to each other. The rest is negotiations. Congratulations anyway!

4. 4

   May you never argue about anything bigger than who forgot to buy milk. Happy anniversary.

• Insert the names. “Dear Maria and Jonas” above the poem makes a general verse personal.
• Address both. Even when you only know one of them.
• Add one personal sentence. The poem carries the mood, your sentence carries the relationship.
• Write the sender's name on the envelope. Couples getting married who want to thank afterwards are very grateful.
