Pre-Wedding

Tonight we rally all the troops
For a pre-wedding dinner.
I’m not an expert on these things –
In fact, I’m a beginner.

The out-of-town guests from all ports
Will congregate to eat,
An opportune time for the
Joining families to meet.

From California, Colorado,
Florida they flew;
A testament to their support,
Familial blood like glue.

I guess we’ll schmooze and mingle,
Have a drink and share a laugh.
We’re all in this together
For the bride and groom’s behalf.

It’s really just a soothing time
Before the big event.
Calming jitters by uniting
Is the main intent.

We’ll dine, we’ll sip and hopefully,
Good feelings will be spreading,
All in preparation for
Tomorrow night – the wedding!
