Hymeneals:

might you turn to
                                                                         my beautiful bride
                                                                         she speaks her piece
                                                                        and my tensions seize
                                                                   as now my wife is by myside
                                                                                 blessed we
                                                                              then kiss to be
                                                                            husband and wife
                                                                             I had waited long
                                                                            to be here this day
                                                                              she waited long
                                                                           to have me this night
                                                                               there we are as I
                                                                                        recall
                                                                           the nervous trembling 
                                                                                 from her haltain 
                                                                                  I smiled in relief
                                                                                 and grinned as we
                                                                                          kissed
                                                                              without any hesitation
