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.
