I Do

A wedding is about the bride and groom So why does everyone jump to assume That they're opinions means the bible It's mothers and daughters that create this vicious cycle Moms want to throw their daughter the best day ever They're reluctant to think their dreams aren't the brides endeavor Its one day in life With all strings attached My energy sure feels the bite No matter how hard you try, People flake or become insane You begin to wonder, why? Then Eloping doesn't sound so mad All that matters is the bride walks down the isle with the dad The groom takes her hand A strong love is witnessed and spread across the land. Daughters keep your head and will strong It's about you and the groom, That's where the power belongs Don't let other steal your focus The moment you say “no” Treasured friendships may become bogus Everyone else, keep your mouth shut Wish there was a nicer way to say this, I'll just be blunt Doesn't matter what you think or do For once in your life, This day isn't about you!

This writing, coming from a female perspective, is deeply, truly refreshing. This day is supposed to be about "US" not ME ME ME. It's one of several reasons why I'm in absolutely no rush to get married. I could go on & on about this. Thank you for writing this common sense filled piece.
