day has come.

That much awaited bonding will finally

be done,

and,

all because I love you, and I know

you love me,

so we'll pledge our love forever

for all the world to see.

When we emerge from the church

and,

ride in the ceremonial car.

Our friends will crowd to see us,

from near and from afar.

The ladies will use soft hankies

to wipe away their tears,

and,

the men will raise their glasses, then

toast each other, cheers.

Then later in the evening, as the venue

starts to clear,

the newly married couple escape the pomp

and cheer.

They ride into the sunset and wave their

beloved guests goodbye,

whom have formed a social gathering, some

of whom laugh and smile, and some whom cry.

But, everyone is happy and hope the lovers

will endeavour, to show the whole, wide

world,

that their love will last forever.
