Effloescent irises yellow and blue
Barely sway against the wind whisper
Above a stream where old wishes come true
     In her dream he could never resist her
     Left with a fragile hope
     A dreadful way to cope
     They have plans to elope
                            Note says at six
        For wedded bliss
          Sealed with a kiss
In her bag something borrowed, something new                                                      Nerves shattered waiting for him to kiss her                                                                   She startled as a voice behind her spoke
                            Let us do this

Revisiting for a moment: Your 4th line -- Above a stream where old wishes come true -- is deeply moving. I could linger there forever. Thanks for the thought! :) gw
