Julie's Wedding

When you attend a wedding,

You’d expect, one would assume,

That the planning would be geared for friends

Of both the bride and groom.

 

So it’s always a surprise, that as

The bride or groom’s mom’s friend,

There’d be oh, so many aspects

Of the wedding to commend.

 

Yes, my close friend’s daughter tied the knot,

The venue a delight,

The ceremony held outdoors,

The chuppah decked in white.

 

The food was all delicious

And the cocktail hour rocked,

With my favorite deli meats on rye –

Pastrami! I was shocked!

 

The ceremony was a blend

Of two religions, yet

Both traditions were included

In a magical duet.

 

The bride and groom were glowing

And the crowd could not help smile

When they joined the band to play the drums

With joy, pizzazz and style.

 

But the best part was the music,

Which made dancing not a choice,

For the pick of songs got everyone

To boogie and rejoice.

 

What was really most amazing

Was that all the dance tunes sung

Had familiar lyrics we all knew

From back when we were young.

 

Yet they spanned the generations

So the friends of groom and bride,

Plus their parents’ friends all hit the floor

With zeal they couldn’t hide.

 

Even grandkids danced a storm up

And their energy amazed!

Just watching them go on and on

Left some onlookers dazed.

 

Man, I haven’t had that kind of fun

In ages, which just proves

That the perfect setting helps us all

To bust out all our moves.
