My life in a poem

This thing was my wedding invitation: The most amusing poem I've ever written.

As a kid of six, 
I once exclaimed - 
This thing called marriage, 
For me it ain't! 


A pre-teen at 12, 
I saw my cousin be wed; 
And the phenomena - oh my! 
It simply filled me with dread. 


At 18, now an adult; 
They asked 'did I think differently now?' 
They must have thought it possible; 
Though I couldn't see how! 


24 brought bruised feelings. 
My ego felt so small and wee! 
I put up my feet - resigned then; 
That love - thus marriage - weren't for me! 


But then...... I re-met Shrikant, 
Friend of yore, 
Chemistry happened; 
And much more! 


Cautious still,  I almost ran; 
But life, that idiot, had a different plan! 
It showed me what I felt with Shri; 
How he very nearly completed me! 
How my life changed not - 
                    but was prettier still; 
How Shri perfectly fit the bill. 

A live - in was appealing, 
But lets legalize it, we thought; 
So, now at half past 27, 
I'm tying the knot! 

And we'd really like it,

If you were there;
To partake our happiness,
And a photo to bear!


And this is what it got made into by the husband: that why I love my life:)
