Spectacular Acrostic Contest

Striking centerpiece placed on the table
Paper napkins with pure lined silverware
Exactly the way the ham is cooked in basil
Calia is content and wouldn't go anywhere
Tommy stole her heart back in high school
Admits, always dreamed to be her husband
Couldn't wait to kneel with a diamond jewel
Under the roses a velvet box he summoned
Loving times they shared on their honeymoon
After, they danced under the starlit moon
Rising sun comes as they began to swoon
