The Wedding...

Down the carriage, what awaits us is a breathtaking sight;
Adorning the path are flowers pink and white.
The mood is merry, happiness all around;
The bride sits on the bench, having her friends her surround.

Dressed in white, she smile when they tease us,
It's no secret as to why the day seems to please her
Her pink face glows with joy pure and divine,
Her eyes twinkle, each hair in line,
A little worried, slightly tense;
After all its a big event about to commence!
Her heart races,with excitement galore,
She can't really conceal it anymore,
That beautiful smile does not seem to leave her face,
Nervously she fiddles with her dress and its pretty lace.
Her parents wonder how quickly time races,
Looking at their angel and how herself she braces,
For the new tomorrow, for a new life,
For a new home, to be somebody's wife,
I enter the chapel, people are seated already
They sit upright, no poise there is unsteady,
The groom stands tall, with pride he beams,
He tries to hide how his joy has outburst all seams.
He wonders how she's feeling, his bride, his love,
He imagines her pretty face, and thanks the Lord up above.
He hopes she is waiting for the moment as much as he did.
He hopes it doesn't pain her too much when good byes she'll bid,
To her father and mother, and her dear home,
Her brother and her room, even the garden gnome.
As he waits down the aisle, to marry his lovely bride,
He promises to himself, that he'll love her more with each stride.

The wedding march begins, and enter the mother and her boy,
Everyone can see how the day brings both sorrow and joy.
Nervousness and ecstasy blend on the face of the bride's mother,
As she's escorted in, by the bride's loving brother.
His little sister's thoughts flood his mind,
Her laugh, her cries, memories, with tears make him blind.
Following them are the groom's men and the bride's maids,
Dresses in pink, with magnolias adorning their braids.
Hopping come in 2 girls, throwing around pink petals,
Out of their tiny baskets made of lace and silver metal.
Everyone's eyes settle on the man and his daughter,
As they glide into the hall, smoothly as water.
The father looks ahead, at his son-in-law,
All he sees is a man, beholding his daughter with love and awe,
He take a deep breath, and gives that man a smile,
Puts in his firm hand, his daughter's hand, agile,
The wedding vows are read, and the "I do"s said.
He lifts her veil, which had been covering her face all this while,
Looks into her eyes,and sees how they glitter and smile,
He whispers to her how much he had miss her,
And slowly he bends, and lightly does kiss her,
Sparks and chills run through them both,
And silently they do take love's oath.
People come in to congratulate the couple,
Their presence makes the joy seem doubled.
People proceed to the banquet hall,
No corner undecorated, nor empty is an wall.
Then fills the hall,  music smooth and calm
Everything is perfect, no reason for alarm.
The first dance of the couple starts then,
And is watched by all Gods and men,
As the newly weds glide over the floor,
Holding each other, closer than before,
The song ends then but they continue to dance,
They wanted to hold each other,at each and every chance,
They had to pause, but not to their dismay,
The music for the father-daughter dance had begun to play.
The father smiled as he danced with her after so many years,
He remembered his little girl, and his eyes welled up with tears.
So did hers, a lump formed in her throat,
what she said then I'd like to quote,
"Thank you for being such a wonderful dad,
No one could have possibly have a dad as great as I have had"
He hugged and told her she would always be loved,
And that she was a daughter better than he ever deserved.
with tearful smiles, they danced some more,
like they used to, just like before.
The wedding came to an end, and she hugged her family then,
And left with her husband, suddenly when,
He cupped her face in his hands,
Said, " as long as we live, I want you to understand,
That I'll never leave you, this I promise to you,
And my love for you will always be true."
She smiled at him, looked right in his eyes,
and told him,that with only him, her heart will forever lie.
And thus they set on the ride into their new life,
As man, and his lawfully wedded wife...
