A Valentine Wedding
The church all speckled with red and white
Billowy white bows affixed to the end of pews
Red roses in vases & all other possible places
A silver lace runner leads the way to impending 'I dos'
As far as the bride and groom
those titles weren't easy to get
They fell in love so fast it scared them
Fear said harsh words neither could forget
Then instead of calling her, he created a stellar role as arrogant amnesiac
Almost cutting their photos in half she decided to live seemingly unattached
They kept this going for months with others adding 2 cents
to nonsense swearing that they were horribly mismatched
Until one day both ended up at the train station exit at the same time
trying to use the same revolving door steady getting in each other's way
Wedged in that door together they couldn't help but laugh & embrace
no longer saving face allowed lips to convey what regretful words couldn't say
And now she adorned in crisp stark taffeta he suited up in winter white
It's as though they met each other for the 1st time
The vows came easily to them both
blessed in love charmed in rhyme
And he says
You are heaven sent
I knew that then I realize that now
But even though I knew that in the pit of my soul
Fear took a hold of me anyhow
I thought surely you would find someone better
I didn't want to be used like a pawn or a token
I couldn't bear to plunge so quickly into love
only to have my heart broken
As fate would have it
We got caught in a revolving door
fighting against that attraction was of no use
that door revolved us back together uniting us all the more
You are the jewels in the crown
that you placed on my head
I will honor you for always my precious one
It is with my utmost love that I thee wed
And she says
Yes I knew that God sent you
I knew that you were meant to be
But I became scared that I would love you
and then you would abandon me
You said you loved me so early on
I thought it couldn't be true if you said it so fast
I knew that this time around I needed a lifetime
I needed a love that would last
It's funny now thinking about that revolving door
each not sure of who should go first
but then we kissed oh so much love that I missed
I thought surely my heart would burst
You call me your precious queen
and with a crown of love you'll always be my king
It is with all my heart that we become as one
I am a blessed woman to wear your ring
On this fateful Valentine's Day
What God hath joined together
Let no man put asunder
