A Double-Knotted Wedding

world’s happiest bride

yesterday, June eleventh

married her sweetheart

holding sunflowers

~her favorite of all time~

true farmhouse wedding

I snuck a hug/peek

before the ceremony

she was breathtaking!

we taught together

on the same team, many years

she taught my daughter

(we’re both preacher’s kids

whose daddies tied our knots tight,

pronounced us married)

I’m as happy as

you always wanted me to

be, she’d assured me

but she didn’t have 

to convince me of the truth

~ it was evident

her second marriage,

his first – “the last of his kind,”

the preacher announced

and her groom echoed:

“the last living dinosaur”

….his wait was worth it!

their own vows exchanged

their souls all smiles and giggles

true feel-good wedding

but wait! one more thing……

halfway down the aisle, they stopped

“wait! stop the music!” 

Christian’s parents had

planned to renew their vows, but

Covid changed their plans

on their fify-first 

wedding anniversary, 

their daughter’s wedding,

a gift from the bride

and groom – she’d arranged for them

to renew their vows

the preacher became

the groom, whose bride’s brother stepped

in as the preacher

holding a photo

of parents now in Heaven

he re-tied their knot

was there a dry eye?

nope, too much love in this room

full of surprises

Mr. and Mrs.

Pitts, Covid held a silver

lining for your wait!

To Christian and Steve,

~Mr. and Mrs. Jackson~

love forevermore!
