Absconding Groom

A bride-to-be I stood lone
Surrounded by uncles and aunts
Flowers in every nook
But alas no groom

Hands decorated with love
Red dress ironed and perfumed
All expectantly await
But where is the groom?

Maybe the groom was hiding out at a bachelor party, Tahera? LOL I'd hate to think she stood him up. Great entry for Dr. Ram's new contest! Love, Carolyn
