30 poems in 30 days challenge! Day 10
"You may now kiss the bride"
And they kissed
Sitting in the front row
A peck of innocent love
They're small smiling faces flush
The flower girl and the ring bearer
Aged four and five.
Later, they skipped along
Hand in hand
Stumbling their way to the garden fountain
Amused stares and short laughs of delight
They were oblivious to
Frolicking and splashing the day away.
At sunset
The wedding band played Sinatra
Under the white canopy
Amidst the dancing couples
They were a precious pair
He was on a mission, she was his muse
He held a sombre expression
As she twirled slowly
He carefully bent one knee
As she clumsily dipped
Suddenly he whispered something in her ear
They ran out.
Her lavender dress
Matched the frosting on the cupcakes
Just devoured, crumbs still stuck on their faces
They slept peacefully
In the last pew of the last row
Dreaming sweet dreams of happiness
As the affair continued outside.
