Two Sisters, One Wedding Two Brothers

~Two Sisters One Wedding Two Brothers~ The day dawned bright, excitement rose today above all others Two sisters today and a wedding, we were marrying two brothers The wedding was outside on a beautiful grassy patch Where cherry blossoms fell - floating living confetti to catch. Two sister brides we were ready, holding hands and smiling Two grooms waiting patiently their smiles very beguiling One groom bent to tie his shoelace, the other standing smart… One bride eager pulling, waiting for the walk to start. A choir of children sang a song as we skipped down the aisle Too eager to be Mrs and Mrs, walking slowly was not our style Our vows we recited slowly and we all meant every word Let no man part what God has put together, did not sound absurd… No father to give the sister brides - away to their grooms No wedding rings on fingers, just the cherry blooms No bridal gowns fit for queens or top hats for the boys A host of bridesmaids and pageboys though, making a giggling noise… A shy kiss on the cheek from the grooms, the vows were finally over No wedding breakfast or honeymoon just blossom petals and clover A crowd or children pressed around all giggling and wishing us well And then the grooms ran hell for leather at the end of lunchtime bell... The marriage was over before it began it lasted such a short while Two sister brides and two brother grooms that had all romped down the aisle We knew back then that some marriages were not made in heaven Next time it would last longer, when we were older than six and seven.
