As she walked down the aisle I was smiling
My blushing young bride was beguiling
After kissing, do tell
I re-lowered the veil
My excuse was "our wedding's freestyling."

That's exactly what I did at our wedding.  After kissing my beautiful, blushing bride I re-lowered the veil.  The immediate explosion of laughter left me blushing.  Yes, I was smart enough to lift it before the recessional :)

It certainly did, Michelle, and I am happy to say that after 45 years I am no longer embarrassed to tell it :)
