Biggest Blizzard In Colorado History

It was the biggest blizzard in Colorado’s history.
Roads were closed.
Guests were texting their apologies.
Samantha made it, but her wedding dress did not.

Her mother had been gone for years.
She was eagerly looking toward the door for her father.
He did not arrive to give her away.
Neither did her wedding dress.

She got married in her regular clothes.
Her groom did not care. He adores whatever she has on.
Right before the traditional daddy daughter dance the door opened.
Her father came in.

She nearly dropped to her knees in gratitude.
This was what she had been praying for.
You got here Daddy!
I would not have missed it baby, he said. 

He had her wedding dress.
She wore it to her reception.

Ah, that is delightful! Weddings are a very special time between a woman and her "daddy."
