July Celebration

I am here to tell a story,
it will be in all it's glory.
About a military boy,
he gave his girl much joy.
They both lived far away,
she always wanted him to stay.
Marry me he said,
she turned a shade of red.
A pretty wedding was planned,
with food and a big band.
It was a July 4th Celebration,
fireworks for them and for the nation.

So was this anyone you know or pure fiction? It's a cute story mixing in Independence Day with a woman losing her freedom. hahaha. (just being silly)

Thank You for reading/writing. Glad you like this True Write. We did not pick the day (4th) the day picked us. He was in the military and he could get a long weekend off. We said, we would always have the day off from work and could never forget our anniversary. Both so true. The big Dec wedding had to be canceled. It turned out to be very small and No Band. Have a great/fun/blessed day.............

Amen, Paula. When choosing wedding dates, how great to celebrate with national hudays, landmarks, & recalling our worthy human "ancestors" everywhere ( but worship Jesus/God only, not ancestors, however great) shalom
