Wedding Breakdowns

the joys of marriage become memorable with unforseen breakdowns Late night frolicking and teasing continued Dancing and music lasted till early hours With a beating heart and ignited nerves I lay nervously on bed wondering what lay ahead My groom arrived with a garlanded brow Our marriage was performed with religious fervour While the priest read out our marriage obligations We walked in tow four times around the holy book Family pressures had made my groom suspicious Whether it was really me or else behind the veil He bent and peeped lifting the veil slightly Much to the chagrin of the priest and mirth for family After the family lunch we drove down to his home in another city His car broke down for a breather on an isolated road My groom romanced on the ground beneath his car in the summer heat While I all decked and drenched, bent down to observe him in greasy repair In final disparity of three breakdowns we ultimately reached home Bathed and refreshed we were having a lovey-dovey talk When there was a loud bang, we opened the door to find a smiling friend, He was unable to reach the marriage venue as his car had broken down!
