sneaking in was easy
seeing you was the hard part
I saw her standing there, in her white marshmallow dress
then you beside her in your tuxedo, looking as if you've seen a ghost
the preacher began to speak
my hands began to shake
"speak now, or forever hold your peace"
either way, this would not be peaceful
I showed myself,
wearing that black dress you knew so well
proclaiming loudly "I do!"
as your eyes found mine
they silently screamed
"I do too."
