Julie's Wedding
When you attend a wedding,
You’d expect, one would assume,
That the planning would be geared for friends
Of both the bride and groom.
So it’s always a surprise, that as
The bride or groom’s mom’s friend,
There’d be oh, so many aspects
Of the wedding to commend.
Yes, my close friend’s daughter tied the knot,
The venue a delight,
The ceremony held outdoors,
The chuppah decked in white.
The food was all delicious
And the cocktail hour rocked,
With my favorite deli meats on rye –
Pastrami! I was shocked!
The ceremony was a blend
Of two religions, yet
Both traditions were included
In a magical duet.
The bride and groom were glowing
And the crowd could not help smile
When they joined the band to play the drums
With joy, pizzazz and style.
But the best part was the music,
Which made dancing not a choice,
For the pick of songs got everyone
To boogie and rejoice.
What was really most amazing
Was that all the dance tunes sung
Had familiar lyrics we all knew
From back when we were young.
Yet they spanned the generations
So the friends of groom and bride,
Plus their parents’ friends all hit the floor
With zeal they couldn’t hide.
Even grandkids danced a storm up
And their energy amazed!
Just watching them go on and on
Left some onlookers dazed.
Man, I haven’t had that kind of fun
In ages, which just proves
That the perfect setting helps us all
To bust out all our moves.
