Two Weddings

One was sunny; one had rain. One had beer and one champagne. One had singing by a choir; One had Dylan to inspire. One had tender, choked-up vows; The other, guests more used to bows. One, a Windsor staid event; The other had a porch and tent. Both had salmon, garden peas, Asparagus and meat and cheese. For dessert, ‘twas no surprise That one had tartlets, one had pies. Both had music going on; Only one had Elton John But the other, I attest, Played dancing songs that were the best. Though the weddings can’t compare, Love at both was in the air. Gazing in each other’s eyes Were sparks we all could recognize. Two new couples said “I do” And one of them was you-know-who. The other people I do treasure And their wedding was a pleasure.
