My Wedding Dress
Today’s the date I married,
Many, many moons ago.
My wedding dress was long and white;
In back, there was a bow.
It wasn’t from a bridal shop;
I’d purchased it alone.
There was one I’d liked much better
So I’d searched to find a phone.
I called my mom, describing both;
The other one was green,
To match my boyfriend’s 3 piece suit.
Though I was torn between,
My mother’s voice had not one doubt.
In fact, she almost hissed,
“You have to get the white one,”
All my arguments dismissed.
In pictures, we are smiling
And the white dress that I wore
Looked more bridal, but not better
Than the one left at the store.
