At Random

  'Twas at a random house on a random street
    at a random party that we did meet

  Our random talk in a random room
    led to a random stroll by the light of the moon

  The random gleam in both our eyes
    stemmed from a kiss that was our prize

  That random kiss, so very soon ~
    led to a random wedding and honeymoon

POTD - Ole! Well, I'll accept the honor from you, as I haven't gotten a POTD from the PS people for ages. Thanks, David!!

Well I would not say the wedding was random. But everything up to that point could be. Cute one, Gordy.

Such a very sweet story. a kiss tells all and the puppy dog looks work. Yours led to marriage and happy ever after. So did mine with Elias, only we each got married to someone, else both unhappy, both divorced, it took 25 years for me to get the phone call of my life. Got engaged 1 month later and married 6 months later, on the 10th December 2000. Fate plays a big part, your random places and our one year of going out in our early twenties led to living happily ever after in Johannesburg. South Africa. Hugs and blessings, Jenn.
