Drops on knee Marry me Select day First of May Choose right dress Oh what stress! Mother bakes Wedding cakes Guest’s arrive At church drive My bridesmaid Is delayed Bridal car Wait with pa Drive past church Tummies lurch Must take stock Go round block Let out cheer Bridesmaid here Blushing bride Dad feels pride Walk down aisle Beaming smile Get wed now Repeat vow Hymns to sing Exchange ring Wedded bliss Sealed with kiss Buffet time Food’s sublime Best man speaks … Groom’s flushed cheeks! Toasts the bride At groom’s side Our first dance Such romance Wedding night… Pure delight! Threes, Please Poetry Contest Sponsored by Beth Evans 09/10/20

This is the most cutest romantic bridal poem I have ever read. You describe the brides feelings to a T plus the father and the groom. Excellent poem good luck in the contest Jan. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

thanks Jenna, I started the poem last night and finished it today then realised I had over run on the line limit, removing stanzas was more difficult than writing them!:-) hugs jan xx
