Wedding Day Rain

I can’t really remember whether I dreamed of my wedding day when I was a young girl, but I’m certain that if I did then the weather would always have been sunny. Rain on your wedding day is a complication most couples would prefer to avoid.

Regardless of the weather, a person’s wedding should be magical because of the actual marriage, not because of the sunshine, the fancy clothes, the guests, the party… the only thing that matters is that two people are making the commitment to be together forever.

The rest is inconsequential.


Wedding Day Rain

White dress and white shoes
rain falls from grey skies
splashing, puddles on the ground
green lawns morphing into brown
thick, slick mud, slippery and sticky
rain drips from overhead trees
from floral arches
and bunting clad marquees

White dress and white shoes
and wedding day rain…

… and then there’s you.
