There
were seashell garlands in the driveway, mermaids in the trees
Funnel
web waiters with their best bow-ties serving a sun-cream tea
No-one
at the party even knew you’d named the day
But
when you said “I do I do” you gave the game away
On
your wedding day
Word
spread fast about the seaweed dress you chose to wear
The
bridesmaids all wore wetsuits, they had seaspray in their hair
The
groom came as a swagman, the best man caught the bouquet
He
called himself Matilda and he
waltzed the night away
On
your wedding day
Later
in the evening when the speeches had been spoken
And
the toasts had all been toasted and the sun was going down
You
stood hand in hand and you just watched the breakers breaking
And
talked about all the years to come
And
the ups and downs and the give and take
Seemed
just like a piece of cake
On
your wedding day
The guests were eating canapés with Castlemaine and quiche
And
barracuda burgers from the barbie on the beach
And
then they all went surfing in the moonlight’s silver wake
And
everybody gathered round to watch you sail away
On
your wedding day
