A girl dressed in white
With satin, lace, and diamonds
Greets her man by the alter
Etched vows in her heart
Rose-colored lips, saying I do

Love of her life, style black
Silver shirt, tucks, and tie
Longs her beauty by his side
Vows sketched in his heart
Parting-lips, saying I do

Garden of Eden, Adam, and Eve
First nuptials, God performed
Bone of my bone
Flesh of my flesh
At first sight, love collide

Mother and father, he depart
A new bride, he will bond
Become one flesh, the befall
Rings of love, powers invest
Passionate kiss, husband, and wife

Cheers of joy, hugs and kisses
Band playing, family, and friends
Cake, dancing, fun, and games
Party is over couple is gone
Honeymoon, marriage delight

The most scared I've ever been was saying I do, both times! I really enjoyed this. Respectfully, Rett: "Does this election remind you of The Emperors New Clothes? No one has the guts to tell him because..." Rett

A beautiful day that it is. I still think of mine to this day. It is still once. *S* Like precious pearls your suggestions is appreciated. I wrestled with tucks feeling it was not the correct spelling. The right word would not come to me. Thanks for reading. This edge of the Carolinas is okay, paying less property taxes this year. I guess me and my daughter being in college gave us over 2 hundred dollars in savings from previous years a real whopper for us, was getting taxed to death and we are not middle class not even lower class if you will. Will certainly make the change. Respectfully Yours, Barbara
