Because They Were In Love

I attended my sisters wedding as she married an Italian man quite charming the promise between them a delicate flower the wedding was in a huge church with a thousand stairs or so it seemed while they vowed their love in the church it began to rain not just rain but a torrential downpour . . . okay- so try to get down a thousand steps without tripping wearing high heels in the rain . . . she had wanted an outdoor wedding no problem said dad. canopy tents covered our backyard for a nice catered affair the shed was the bar tables set so elegant . . . yet the rain refused to go away in fact got worse I will never forget the bride and groom at the head table her hair like a flowing river- both trying to smile while holding an umbrella . . . and thunder booming from above but guess what I don't think it mattered because love is the answer . . . ____________________________ November 10, 2019 Poetry/Free Verse/Because They Were In Love Copyright Protected, ID 19-1197-402-02 All Rights Reserved.
