Hi Everyone,

I am pasting a poem below that has been written by myself and very well received by my clients and many couples of celebrants on the ACMCV chatline. Please feel free to change words to suit your own couples.

Fair Dinkum Love - By Kim Cockerell
(You may change Fair Dinkum to Real Love)


Fair dinkum love isn’t about bringing in a dozen red roses
It’s about bringing in the washing.
It’s not about standing next to your partner because they look good on your arm
It’s about standing by them even when they look foolish.
Fair dinkum love isn’t about stiff posture and smart clothes
It’s about wrestling on the couch in your tracksuit.
It’s not about oysters and candle-lit dinners
It’s about bringing home Chinese when your partner’s had a busy day.
Fair dinkum love isn’t about exciting getaways and fancy resorts
It’s about being totally content sleeping- in together at home.
It’s not about gym memberships and facelifts
It’s about growing old and fat together.
Fair dinkum love is not about romance or image or success.
Fair dinkum love is about 2 average people adoring and accepting each other
for who they are.
