The Wedding

...And now the plans have come together,

Preparations finalized.

Every deadline met its match;

Every detail, its condition.

 

The crowd of friends

And fond relations, fanning in anticipation,

Waiting to be entertained

By ceremony and tradition.

 

Dirges played on organ, though

You wish they'd choose a happy tune

To celebrate the grand occasion.

Solemnity is such a bore.

 

You snap the children to attention

Whose fidgeting becomes obsessive,

Give a nudge to Grandpa just

Before his wheeze becomes a snore.

 

Now all the waiting's over as

The wedding march fills up the air.

All rise to view the party as the

Toothy smiles grow ear to ear.

 

The nervous groom mysteriously appears

And waits before the altar

As father fills his chest with pride

And mom fights back a single tear.

 

And now a vision dressed in white

Floats softly down her aisle of dreams

To seek a hand filled with her own

And make a vow to never part.

 

Two people who have found each other...

Two lives which now reside as one...

Two into one: a solemn promise.

Two souls together of one heart.
