What to put in a personalised engagement song

You don't need to be a poet. Just share the moments that matter and we'll weave them into verses.

  1. First meeting

    Where they first met: the school hallway, the class project, the joke they both laughed at.

  2. The time apart

    Six years of separate paths, the jobs, the cities, the lessons learned.

  3. The reunion

    The wedding where they saw each other again, the song that played, the look they shared.

  4. The permission moment

    He asked for your blessing at Sunday dinner, gravy on his shirt, the nervous smile.

  5. The future promise

    A line about the life they'll build together: travel, pets, a garden, endless laughter.

A worked example

Meet Amy & Jordan, our example couple

They're real, and this is the story they sent us. Your own song will be built from the details you share.

Amy & Jordan

Engaged after a long way round: gravy, weddings and Sunday dinner asks.

  • Met at sixth form, teenage sweethearts
  • Six years apart, chasing dreams
  • Reunited at a friend's wedding
  • He asked for permission over Sunday roast, gravy on his shirt

What their family told us

Our daughter Amy just got engaged to Jordan and the whole family is delighted, mostly because he asked our permission at Sunday dinner and dropped the gravy. They met at sixth form, went separate ways for six years, and found each other again at a mutual friend's wedding. We want an engagement party song about the long way round.

The sort of thing a proud parent might send us

Read the lyrics: The Long Way RoundPop · Male & female vocals · Engagement

Verse 1: Female

Sixth form corridors, that's where it started,Amy and Jordan, young and open hearted.Nobody knew it then, no way of telling,Two kids who just kept on accidentally sellingEach other daft jokes across the classroom floor,Not knowing they'd be walking out the door.

Verse 2: Male

Six years came and went, they went their own ways,Different cities, different Saturdays.Life had its say, and they let it,Never planned on forgetting, never quite forgot it.Then a mutual friend said "I do" one June,And the band struck up an old familiar tune.

Pre-Chorus: Both

Across a crowded room, same eyes, same smile,Turns out some things are worth the wait, worth the while.

Chorus: Both

We took the long way round,Lost each other, then we foundOur way back to where we should have been.Amy and Jordan, look how far you've come,The long way round got you here, love,And it's only just begun.

Verse 3: Female

Sunday dinner, gravy boat in hand,Jordan stood up nervous, tried to take a stand.Asked my dad if he could ask for my hand,Dropped the whole lot, gravy across the land.Dad just laughed, said "son, you'll do,"Mum grabbed the cloth, said "welcome to the crew."

Verse 4: Male

The whole family cheered, glasses raised up high,Nobody minding stains on Sunday's best tie.It's not about neat, it's not about clean,It's about showing up for the woman of your dreams.

Bridge: Both

So here's to sixth form and here's to the wait,Here's to the wedding that sealed both our fates.Here's to the gravy, the mess and the mirth,Here's to knowing exactly what you're worth.

Chorus: Both

We took the long way round,Lost each other, then we foundOur way back to where we should have been.Amy and Jordan, look how far you've come,The long way round got you here, love,And it's only just begun.

Outro: Female then Male

Sixth form sweethearts, all grown now,Found your way back, and here's the vow:No more separate ways, no more goodbye,Just Amy and Jordan, under one sky.

Every song is written from scratch for one couple only. Amy & Jordan's came from a sixth-form hallway, a six-year gap, a wedding reunion and a gravy-splattered Sunday dinner. Yours will be built from the moments you share.
