Poem about Bridal Favours

In olden days it became a tradition,

To bestow a gift from the bride with condition,

That the recipient be of the female gender,

And her wedding day attend her.

The gift was known as a Bridal Favour,

They symbolised five wishers true,

And here are the meanings made clear to you:

Long Life, Fertility, Happiness and Wealth

But most important the fifth for Health.

For the bride to bestow the gift was a pleasure,

And for the ladies attending five wishes to treasure.

A special gift from a memorable day,

To keep happy thoughts of a Special Wedding Day
