Jack Horne Poet Rhyme

Wedding Tradition

Wedding tradition of carrying the bride over the threshold

He wheezed and gasped, his body bathed in sweat,
Remembered months of training at the gym -
And strained again, he wasn’t beaten yet...
She eyed the threshold, sighed - and carried him!

Carolyn Devonshire March 26, 2011 at 12:05 PM LOL This is exactly what I did -- carried John over the threshold. He had too much to drink at the wedding and there was a blizzard so it was the safest way to get him inside. You brought back great memories with this delightful poem, Jack! Love, Carolyn
