A Spring Wedding
The church, it glowed with radiant
flowers
Roses, climbing up in towers
Whispered to each other as
They counted the remaining hours
The marquee also was in bloom
Fairy lights around round the room
Like jewels among the flowers as
They waited for the bride and groom
The dress it hung in ghostly state
The rings anxious to know their fate
Rattled gently in their box
Not much longer now to wait.
The cake in ivory pieces lay
The nightlights gleamed to show the
way
And all together held their breath
To welcome in the Special Day.
Finally, the dawn it breaks
The bride from fitful sleep awakes
Runs swiftly to the window, but
Instead of fields are ponds and
lakes!
No blue sky is there to be found
Instead, as she gazes out
Dark clouds gather all around.
The little bride, she sheds no tear
Her wedding can still happen here
And as she runs around the house
All who see her feel her cheer
The wedding feast is brought inside
By the family of the bride
It will be cosy, but there is
Room for all, and more beside
Wellingtons, for her feet
Her dress hitched up, to keep it
neat
A pretty umbrella for her hair
And through it all, her smile so
sweet.
Our bride sets out, with her band
Not in style as she had planned
No pony trap to church for her
The local taxi lent a hand!
With wet umbrellas, soggy toes
The organ can hardly be heard
Over rasping throat and streaming
nose
Now our patiently waiting groom
Turns and looks around the room
The door at last it opens and
A ray appears to break the gloom
For looking at the joy and pride
On the faces of both groom and bride
It feels as though the sun has
thrown
Open the door and come inside
A smile appears on every face
To see such tender love and grace
There’s nowhere they would rather be
Than right there in that happy
place.
Husband and wife united stand
Their wedding hasn’t gone as planned
But family and friends are there
To see them standing hand in hand.
