Are Weddings Only For the Young

Are weddings only for the young Dancing up a storm Limber in sleek outfits Graceful in their form Older folks gaze wistfully Perchance they are quite jealous Recalling bygone celebrations Sealed in tears they will not tell us...

They are for all of us, as a reminder that commitment is fantastic. But of course, all those other weddings come to our mind as we watch the young ones in their glorious dancing bodies.

Hi Gershon, Weddings are for the young and old. Of each group has to pick their own dj lol! I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis

Not sure the younger days are better. Fun to live through the eyes of the young. Nice one, Gershon!

Ha, ha! At the kosher weddings I attend, rubber chicken and hard rice are 'staples.' LOL. (It's not really that bad; sometimes it's actually edible. LOL, again). At any rate, I only go for the friendships involved... ~ Rub-a-dub-dub; thanks for the grub
