Pearl Wedding

When we first met You were impossibly irritating, And yet, so stubbornly persistent that, Like a piece of grit in an oyster, You just stayed put, Until, over time, We created something beautiful.

Holy mother-of-pearl, perfectly put. : ) I love the theme, and indeed - sometimes enemies become the fastest of friends, or more.

I think there's something amazing found when two people can grate on each other or cause each other ire and yet in time they find something beautiful, well wrote!

I wonder how many relationships have started with someone saying 'I can't stand him/her!'

One of those images/poems that just 'floated to the surface' one day. Nice when that happens.
