An eighteen month engagement
Left the bride frantic,
As her wedding became
All-encompassing
Until it was unrecognizable.
It would all be over one day,
But if that day is the first day of
The rest of your life,
How could it bode well?
For the last few months,
We prayed with little more than howls,
As we had little expectation
Of anything good in the end.
And we counted down the weeks.
So when a guest described it as “amazing,”
I initially thought she was ironic.
But, no. Incredibly, God answered every prayer.
So that the weather was perfect,
The trees in bloom,
The dresses fit,
The family all centered
(Including the bride)
Until the entire weekend
Was a fairytale celebration of love and joy.
Thanks be to God.
