Alvin & Michelle Poem by Anita Khelawan

I am happy to be a part of your special day.
Signifying that to each other you are here to stay
You've agreed to face the future together, not knowing what life would bring
My mommy and daddy found true love after feeling a mutual zing
My parents have now volunteered to the definition of marriage
They already have me and Aaliyah so I'll skip ‘babies in a carriage'.

To Alvin and Michelle congratulation
And I thank you for this inspiration
I am now convinced that happy endings do come true
I can't think of anyone more deserving than you.

Not only have y'all seen each other at your highs and lows
You are a testament of a compassionate love drawing you close
As you begin a journey so uncertain
June 18,2016, you both pledged an unflinching loyalty to each other, this day, and for the rest of your lives, by taking an oath of fidelity to make your uncertain journey certain.

May Heaven grants its consent to your eternal union
Many are called but Michelle was chosen
So let me officially salute you as Mrs. Alvin Khelawan.
