They met upon a starry night
and quickly fell in love.
Their future seemed so very bright
beneath those stars above.

Ohh, A poem on the heartaches of love! .. Quite heart moving! .. And so well expressed and written! .. Definite 5 Stars! ..+++++++
(cont. I also had given no gift, so I was not one whose gift was never opened nor returned by the backed-out-bride. I believe gifts are still around 15-20+ years later.
Thanks for your comments, Bri. Hmmmmmn... I may still have a gift or two from MY wedding (more than 55 years ago) that were opened but never used.
My brother's wife's daughter backed out of wedding, but the reception had been paid for (this is all hearsay) so it went on, not quite as planned. I was not invited. : (
Too bad you were not invited, Bri. You probably would have got some ice cream at the reception!
Amazing... the wild pitches that life throws at us, can sometimes still be hit out of the park, as the saying goes; I hope now he is doing well.
Thanks for the comment, Smoky. I have lost touch with him, and don't know if he ever got married or not.
Hey, Kim, did you know that this poem is # 89 today on the top 100 member poems? Way to go!
Nice. The melancholy feelings ooze out to the hearts of the reader with ease. Fantastic rhyme and rhythm. Simply wonderful. Loved it…
What an outrageous story! How could she do that? Love the last two lines, and the rest of the poem is excellent also.
Fantastic rhymes and meter. Flows extremely well. As Rose Marie said, sad but entertaining. Five stars.
Thanks so much, Belle. Your comment is truly appreciated. Not many people have commented on this.
A well crafted and executed poem with great rhyme and imagery. Sad yet very entertaining.
A brilliant narration of a poignant and interesting love story. Your former student is one of a kind. If I were him I would have charged all the expenses needed for the preparation of the wedding. I will just forego this trip and be on a cruise next time.
Sad but that's life! Beautifully narrated. And since it's based on a true incident, it's a real eye-opening read. Reveals a lot about the unpredictability of life and human behaviour.
