I need a cute little poem to attach to bubbles for our wedding and I'm bad enough at this in English, never mind German.
Something like this so people know what to do with them:
Please blow us happy wishes as we walk up the aisle as Mr. and Mrs.
Thanks!

Today is our special day
Here's some bubbles with which to play
There're no instructions to see
Just figure it out and blow me
...or perhaps...
Blow us a bubble, It's really no trouble.
As we walk up the aisle, you'll make us smile.
If I play my cards right, then later tonight,
Given some luck, I'll be having a...slice of wedding cake.

Bridezilla, I like the sound of that.
"Blasen" actually sounds even worse the "blow", so maybe buying 267 litres of bubble mix was adventurous.

I've translated Keydeck's poem with
google, I don't think one can get more creative than that:
Heutiger Tag ist unser spezieller Tag
Ist hier einige Luftblasen, mit denen zum Spiel
es keine Anweisungen gibt zu sehen
Gerechte Abbildung brennt es heraus und mich durch

Yes, I know blasen sounds bad... but most of the German speakers are old and hopefully their mind isn't in the gutter anymore. Maybe there is a way around using the word 'blasen' if not, i don't care...I'd rather people get a chuckle and at least use the bubbles at the right time then to have them go to waste.

Cripes, that's worse than Vogon poetry.

I'm a bit busy today with some major management issues, but wish to lend support and confirm that I am available for divorce poems at a later stage.

Have you also considered the ramifications of bubbles landing on expensive suits, bridal dresses etc? Some of that stuff leaves really interesting marks.
Don't you actually walk down the aisle as Mr. and Mrs? You walk up the aisle free and easy, sort of like a soap bubble actually.

Be careful people they are attaching poems to bubbles which may lead to some litigation from Michael Jackson.
At the moment we just do not have the resources should a court action ensue.

whatever you do - don't use that
google translation.
I'll have a think and will post if I come up with something.

Hier schoss Amor goldne Pfeile,
und sein Bruder knüpft das Band.
Und ich seh` die Götter niedersteigen
mit der Scherze Chor,
und ich singe Glückeslieder,
und ich blicke froh empor.
Liebesleben, Liebesbande,
langes Leben, ew`ges Fest!
Tauben durch des Friedens Lande,
Viele Jungen in das Nest!
Immer froh und ohne Sorgen!
Alles, alles muss gedeihn,
und mit jedem Morgen
glücklicher und jünger sein.

Can somebody translate:
He got screwed today, she'll get screwed tonight.
Rilana
May 24 2007, 12:42 pm
beautiful, but that says nothing about what to do with the bubbles?
Can I check - they're these soapy bubbles right? Am just thinking it might be better to say Seifenblasen or summat rather than Blasen because anyway you say that one, I think people will giggle...

tell you what...get the priest to read the poem before you walk in...that would raise a few eyebrows and get a bit of chuckle!

Does it have to be original? Why not use a Rilke poem instead?
Liebeslied?
Love Song (English)

Wollte ihr uns mit Glückwünsche segnen?
Dann schicke uns ein paar Seifenblasen entgegen.
Leicht und locker lass die schweben,
Und wie unsere Herzen in Glück wegsegeln.
(Oh my god, the curse of Hallmark is upon me)

Katrina, I think she wants something with bubbles and/or blowing in it.

und wir kriegen gemeinsam unser orgasmus.

Does it have to be a poem?
Wie eine Perlenkette lieber Gedanken und Glückwünsche folgen unsere Seifenblasen dem glücklichen Paar

Perlenkette?
Nice avoidance of the whole Blasen issue Sara.

of course I have. And these are special wedding bubbles that do not stain. Trust me..a bride does her research.
O yea, and you walk down the aisle to the altar, and back up after you are married.

Yep seifenblasen ..definitely sounds better than just blasen

But check the grammar please as it is probably crap.

@yeti and sarabyrd... those are both really nice! And it doesn't necessarily have to be a poem..I just like things that rhyme
