A tension filled moment. However the tension is relieved as the groom sees the bride's image. Waiting just before marriage is equally anxious and exciting.

A beautiful moment. Wonder why he is scared and nervous…perhaps, her beauty is too bold. My cousin had a second marriage with a bombshell…didn’t she know it…ended in divorce.

Kim, my husband was scared and nervous when we got married because it is a very serious step in one's life. So sad when marriages don't work out but ours did for 63 years. Sometimes couples don't know each other well enough before they take the big step. Sometimes a man or a woman is the kind whose thoughts and intentions are nefarious and not Christian at all. Thank you for dropping by. Sara K.

Thank you for the concern and high praise of my work. We had a thunderstorm yesterday with the resultant terror in the Ratcha terrier, but we got some nice rain which was needed. The rain cooled it down a little, but it is heating up already with the sun behind the clouds if it was not hidden it would be so much worse. I saw on TV how some people are having it so much worse with the storms that are coming through and I feel for them. Sara K.

Sara, your haiku are so vivid and descriptive. It's interesting how we reflect our own qualities onto others around us. Well said, Sara!

So lovely. I can imagine the groom with that feeling, perhaps that nervousness is excitement. Thank you so much for sharing this gem. Best wishes always. Hugs

Sometimes you can see the reflection of your surroundings or yourself in a person's eyes if you look closely, Yann. Unless you have seen it then you would not know. Sara K.
