the bride and the groom
everyone's eyes they catch.

what a match
they gush!

you are on which side
the beauteous bride
or the groom
all elegance and class!

if you stray a little from their grace
to look at the painted face
standing at the gate
receiving each guest with a smile
seemingly having fun
bowing to everyone
his smile's labor
paid in hour,

you feel a gloom
shadowing over the bride and the groom!
