( spoken softly as a ad lib )
Becoming the Bollys”
Written for Samantha & Mike’s wedding - October 12, 2025, at Giorgios
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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…
