Because I got Married

Originally posted on my blog, this poem was the update to my blog followers after my wedding.

In the month of April, two thousand thirteen,

With some help from their mothers, creating the scene,

A boy and girl met at a cafe for lunch,

And talked, and laughed and smiled a bunch (as in, like 4-5 hours).

 

A few short weeks later and several dates in,

On the girl’s lips, a kiss the boy pinned.

Their fondness for each other, it grew,

And by late August, they said, “I love you.”

 

At six months, the two had a special date,

To an island up north in the Mackinaw Straits.

And on their way home, the conversation was deep,

Of marriage, the two would finally speak.

 

With intentions known and love still growing,

The proof of their future, it started showing.

On a warm April night in two thousand fourteen,

A lighthouse in the sunset would decorate the scene.

 

The boy knelt in the sand and offered a ring,

And a new phase of life this diamond would bring.

They planned and planned for five months straight,

For September 13, their wedding date.

 

And on that day, becoming bride and groom,

A new role in life, they each would assume.

Nervous, excited and dressed to the nines,

Lanterns lit the way to a love that would shine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The music began and then down the aisle,

Came the bride to her groom with the happiest of smiles.

They shared their vows and a candle they lit,

And exchanged their rings, a promise to commit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

The bride and groom sealed the deal with a kiss,

And walked up the aisle into marital bliss.

After a break for pictures was done,

They returned to a reception to share the fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With toasts, a prayer, a meal and cake through,

To the dance floor, the party eventually moved.

The bride and groom, then their parents, then friends,

They danced and danced until the reception would end.

And off they went, not two, but one,

In their car that read, “About to have… fun.” (This is the truth.)

With the wedding behind them, their marriage began,

And they made a reality out of old October’s plans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And they lived happily ever after… (Well, ok, so for at least the first seven weeks they did. We’ll just have to assume that things will continue to be as so.)
