Becoming the Bolly’s

( spoken softly as a ad lib )

Becoming the Bollys”

Written for Samantha & Mike’s wedding - October 12, 2025, at Giorgios

We met at Stony Brook, young and so alive

You in the goal, me on the sidelines

A cheerleader’s smile, a lacrosse boy’s charm

Back then I didn’t know you’d steal my heart

Time gave us twists, a break in the road

But love has a way of finding its home

Through every detour, look where we are

Stronger than ever, wearing every scar

Now here we stand with our families near

Hand in hand with our purpose clear

You’re my calm, my rock, my always will

In your arms, the world stands still

From late-night laughs to Mila’s bark

To fixing the house where we made our start

I thank the stars you chose me

Here’s to forever, becoming the Bollys

You hold the line in that badge of blue

And I rush the halls with a nurse’s truth

We’ve seen the highs, we’ve felt the fall

But side by side, we faced it all

Our wine walks, our Sunday drives

Antigua dreams, and Greece in our sights

Every day’s a chapter I can’t wait to write

With you, my love, my partner, my light

Now here we stand with our families near

Hand in hand with our purpose clear

You’re my calm, my rock, my always will

In your arms, the world stands still

From late-night laughs to Mila’s bark

To fixing the house where we made our start

I thank the stars you chose me

Here’s to forever, becoming the Bollys

Through every storm, through every trial

I’d still choose you every mile

No need for perfect, just real and true

I’ve got forever wrapped up in you

So here we stand, hearts open wide

Two souls ready for the ride

You’re my calm, my rock, my always will

In your arms, time stands still

From movie nights to family ties

From every kiss to each sunrise

I thank the stars you chose me

Here’s to forever…
