For the big occasion
She's lost a pound or two
Last minute jitters playing out
Something borrowed, something blue
Posies for the bridesmaids
Flower in her hair
The thought of all those people
Gets her feeling scared
Roller waiting, protocol demands
Be ten minutes late
Line up for some memories
By the old lych gate
Holding back tears of joy
She glides the aisle in a daze
Nervous smiles exchanged
As the ***** plays
A moment's pause, new shoe shuffle
Children struggle to behave
Baby words da da da
Echo down the nave
No impediments are known
As far as we can see
No one shouts out from behind
Yeah, it should have been me!
In the nearby meadow
The big marquee awaits
Congregation filters back
Through the old lych gate
The groom pays sincerest thanks
To everyone he should
The best man airs embarrassments
As we knew he would
The band strikes up, as they dance
The car is 'modified'
Lipstick on the window
Cans and balloons are tied
It's not a worn out cliche
As the night winds down they realise
They really have just lived through
The best day of their lives
