Ssssshhhhh - the Surprise Party

The invitations have been sent out, and the venue is sublime A Castle in the country oh how I wish that it was mine With sweeping staircases in the entrance hall Crystal chandeliers, oh its perfect for my ball The guests will arrive in their suits and dresses Their masks are in place – I hope no one guesses Dancing by candlelight it is so romantic Not like at a discothèque so fast and so frantic I’ve got the most wonderful caterers in the west Their canapés are amazing, simply the best Ice-cold champagne served in a crystal glass It really is apt for a party of this class It’s secret wedding party for when my beloved and I say ‘I do’ The only thing missing from my surprise party is YOU 07~20~14 Written for Rumor has It Contest ~ Sponsored by Judy Konos ~awarded 1st place~
