Brides Worldwide

That slow and spectacular gait of a bride
Brimming as she is with nuptial pride
With grace and beauty each regal stride
as invitees whisper, 'here comes the bride'.

She for her big day so perfectly embellished
Her love-match said to be divinely predestined.

On their big day even the plain-faced, homely ones
 turn into comely beauties
A magical day as it is, of rituals and formalities.

All the fuss and pomp, she almost feels like a queen
Her glamour thus showcased, with praise dön't be mean.

Attired in any hue, rose-red or even snow-white
She glows with an aura of pure holy sacred light.

Many overawed by the debut of her bridal charm
Yet, watch out O' newly weds for any evil eye's harm.

For the pinnacle of her womanly splendour and beauty
is now upon coveted passion's pedestal and apogee

She on stage now with only love's trophy and token
Just graduating from spinsterhood, to disappear the maiden!

As the center of attention, she turns into an actress
Her emotions under zoom lens, a bit easier to guess
For close-ups she knows she has to impress.

Some coy, some bashful, some hiding joy in the heart of hearts
With cameras clicking, drums beating, her new life starts
