Pouffed hair
borrowed tux with tails
not really their style
A lone classical guitarist
providing atmosphere
they didn’t choose
The clouds parted and dried
the wet grass
a half hour before the ceremony
A wedding in a rose garden
with an attendant chipmunk
She borrowed her sister’s vows
added something from a book
The sister is divorced now
But their cobbled-together
ceremony has stuck
for twenty years
two daughters
an unwieldy mortgage
the death of her parents
back taxes
and the requisite arguments
They splurged only on the wedding cake.
I’m glad you decided to finish up the a-z.
Thank you! Me too. It didn’t feel good to just stop, so I posted four today!
Me too–I’ve enjoyed following your pieces all month. Congrats!
love your style. economy of words. abundance of images.
