Every Wedding

Every wedding’s different
From the music to the vows,
The venue to the food and drink
And toasts the pair allows.

The table decorations,
The bridal party’s clothes;
The readings at the ceremony
That the couple chose.

The gown, the veil, the flowers,
The photographer and dance;
The thousand details hardly
Reminiscent of romance.

Yet every wedding’s special
And unique to just those two,
Reflecting the decisions
Leading up to their “I do.”

And though you might compare them,
From that walking up the aisle,
All that matters is the way
The bride and groom begin to smile.

For the way they gaze so deeply
Into one another’s eyes
Is the same at every wedding,
Yet it’s always a surprise.
