If you read this blog regularily, then you know I'm a fan of romantic movies, books and tv shows. I cried when the series Sex and the City ended—I even dragged my husband to the movies. So it shouldn't surprise you that when looking for toasts and readings for a wedding I sought the expert advice of one Carrie Bradshaw—see poem above she wrote for a friend in The Chicken Dance" episode. This poem was written by Cindy Chupack, author and one of the Sex and the City screenwriters.
Here are a few more of my romantic poetry faves... The next poem by Emma Salmon was selected as a winner of a nationwide poetry competition run by Marriott Hotels in March 2011.
And one more, the poem read by Carrie when she was reading the book Love Letters of Great Men to Mr. Big in bed—well, the exact book does not really exist but you can check out one of these books.
