The Stood Up Bride

He proposed marriage To his lovely date Happy she accepted Now plans were made For the month of May She picked her bridesmaides Then maid of houner A church to be wed With a needed priest Then a banquet hall She chose some meals A band for music Open bar for drinks A table setting Hors d'oeuvre for snacks The big day arrived Everyone was there The bride was anxious For her groom to come He never showed up

What a sad tale. I was engaged once and ended it 3 weeks before the wedding. I am thankful I found the courage but feel bad for my poor timing.

I suppose the groom got cold feet. A lot of preparation for the wedding to put up with that. Sad.

Crushing. Absolutely devastating. Stark, and starkly expressed in your poem. :) Gershon

hello Gershon Wolf, yes it is absolutely devastating for a bride to go through this ordeal. I am certain that this hapens sometimes. It would be very crushing for the bride's family and bride. Have a nice day my friend.

Perhaps your clue lies in the middle two stanzas and the singleness of the plans made....she....she....she... A well-composed piece pointing out the importance of two becoming one in marriage. Methinks, your choice of words was very intentional and very well done.
