Doublecheck the invitation
Checkmark for the gift
Checkmark for the card
Dress in our best
Ready for their big day

Tux and gown
Hair up and bejeweled
Pose showing our pearly whites
Sunshine ordered as part of the decor
Cameraman getting all his shots

Bride and groom
Going about their day
Perfect blend of stress and bliss

Perfect blend of stress and bliss tells me you have seen your fair share of weddings. So relate-able!

Very astute reading between the lines. I got married for the first time at age 50 and we had three weddings earlier that summer... we'll just leave it at that.
