My Tall Bride

I am the shortest in her family, standing at five foot nine; Everyone else is over six feet including that bride of mine. In the pictures from our wedding I look like a midget in a tux; Taking pictures of all of us sitting down was a definite must. For years she was so adamant not to date a shorter guy And now, twenty years later, people still are asking her, “Why?” I guess that love indeed can conquer all, including a difference in height That is the long and the short of it; Good morning, good day and good night.
