The Roadside Chapel

Jane and Norman are going steady
Now are planning their wedding
They decided to wed 
At a roadside chapel
Off a country road
Their minister will 
Do the ceremony

Jane will have bridesmaids
A flower girl or two
Maids of honor will lead
Then the bride will follow
Walking slow to the groom
She is teary eye with joy

Photos taken outdoors
In front of the chapel 
People gather to watch
Phots are taken 
On a bright sunny day
Small groups groups gather
   to chat
Before leaving the chapel

I love the atmosphere of a small chapel and would prefer it to a large cathedral Darlene. It is more intimate. A nice scene you present in your poem. Blessings xxoo

Hello Ronald Thomas, thank you. The roadside chapels are very small. Only a few allowed inside. I like it and the door is never locked. People can go inside stay awhile then leave. Weddings are held there. Enjoy your day my friend Darlene x
