Going To a Wedding

Going to a wedding - We will watch them tie the knot. It’s nice to know that younger folk Still give this thing a shot. I’ll get myself all gussied up (That word is proof I’m old), Although I’m not the dress-up type Most times, if truth be told. The ceremony’s out of doors, A garden the location And then we’ll head inside to dine And dance in celebration. Originally weathermen Predicted it would rain. The sun decided otherwise, The worries all in vain. I’m sure it will be lovely But the main thing that I think Is, with all the preparation, It’s all over in a blink.

Woe, you have such a simple way of writing about life in concrete imagery! When younger I did go to friends weddings but in later years, I find the earlier decorum has deteriorated considerably. Thanks for reading about my imaginery nudist morning walker. I was trying to use a reverse psychology. / M

yes, and even a life of marriage is over in a blink. Doesn't it seem so, Ilene. Love this!

Great poem, I'm currently up to my eyes in all the preparations for my daughter's wedding on Thursday. I've just decided that everything I'm worrying about will be so insignificant on the day!
