At dawn, the air was tinged with the smell of impending heat Best friends make the best spouses!! Last night apart was totally overrated. Bachelor boredom. Uptight? Not by a damned sight. Can’t wait to marry my soul mate! Everybody’s looking so dapper! How unusual! Mom and Dad walk with me to the garden, where I see you… Oh my, do you look like an absolute goddess! Over 100 degrees under the chuppah; thought we’d be the supper! Nuptials, circling and consecrating each other, vows, true love and joyous tears Indivisible for all time, joined as a family, my wife and I. Wife? Husband? Wow. Nibbling the amazing food here and there while making the rounds Jubilant and giddy while taking pictures after; the pictures show it! Us alone for stolen moments here and there Night fell; we drove off into the sunset with the Blue Moon rising behind us Ending in sweet togetherness on and off all blessed night 3/18/16

I wish I were able to do a poem like this. But mine was a rotten day for me (long story) Anyway, you got an incredible poem from it and you did the challenge in a unique and wonderful way. I hope it is still going strong?? Good for you if it is. (you both look so nice in the pic)

Thanks! Yep, still going strong; better than ever. Hard work and luck both, I daresay. Sorry yours was less so. FWIW, our honeymoon was our worst trip together. Worthy of a different sort of poem. :-)
