You May Now Kiss The Bride Poem by Randy McClave

"You may now kiss the bride"
And then she cried,
After she excitedly gave her vow
For a forever, and also for now.
She was the happiest woman alive
When her love did arrive,
Now her and him are joined together
For their glorious forever.
Her in her gown of white
She glowed with beauty and delight,
And everyone there that knew her
Was happy and joyous for her.
About her there was a beautiful aura
And a lingering scent of flora,
Then she tossed out her wedding bouquet
With a joy and a love to all to display.
Over her shoulder into the crowd
The screams and excitement was loud,
While the bouquet was up in the air
Catching it, was every woman's prayer.
Every woman wants to be married
And over a threshold they want to be carried,
And to have a love forever more
Whenever they open the door.
The groom then tossed her garter out
To every bachelors scream and shout,
As they too are looking for a mate
And together they could set their date.
Then the rice at the happy couple was thrown
And only I did moan,
Because, I wish it was I at her side
When the preacher said, "you may now kiss the bride".
