Rosy fingered dawn
Again so she tells herself
It won’t be long now


Phone alarm music
She cannot believe it’s here
It’s her wedding day


Flowers and streamers
Quiver in excitement as
She walks gracefully 


All witness their vows
As they exchange love tokens 
Two houses now one


Glasses clink and cheers
Toasts to the smiling lovers
Wishes love endures 


Summer stars twinkle 
Celebrants cheer as they sway 
Their first dance wedded


Kisses on their cheeks
Embrace family and friends
Every heart joyful
