Wedding Music Extended

A bride who became sick at her wedding one day, Sent word to the organist to please continue to play. He played and he played until his back was breaking. And no progress was made although he was really aching. An usher soon came and gave word of her healing. The Bridal Chorus was begun and soon was revealing. That they were all ready to commence down the aisle. And I cannot blame the bridegroom for his big goofy smile. *Poulter's Measure...True story for Brian Strand's contest.

Ah, I feel sorry for that bridegroom. I hope he had received the same message as the organist and didn't fear his beloved had cold feet. Great entry, Marty! Good luck to you. Love, Carolyn
