Today is their Wedding Day
This poem is a celebration of their life
To Isaac and Jessica

They met at a her sister’s wedding
A festive occasion, A beautiful setting
Love at first sight he was smitten
She was as sweet as a baby kitten

From the moment they met,
He never wanted to leave her side
Love has taken them on a wild ride
Emotions in Full display, they don’t hide

May They walk a path together I pray
Young to make a commitment this way
Yes, I took those steps younger still
Time values different I had a strong will

I want him to understand what it takes
I want them to learn from my mistakes
But those are their mistakes to make
Save me a piece of the wedding cake

I remember in my arms he wiggled  
Nana kept him safe belly laugh giggled
First the Grand gesture, he takes her hand
When a boy becomes a grown man

The proposal Down on Bended Knee
Grins from ear to ear Happy as they can be
His heart pounding out of his chest
Tongue tied words failed. He did his best.

Wedding Day, He and She became we
A shindig excitement and fear we’ll see
Waiting at The altar, for his bride
They will learn to find their own stride

Together in front of God, they stand
Wedding ceremony completes God‘s plan
The last covenant Between God and man
Life Commitment Full circle Time span

We took a fishing trip to Diamond Lake just the young man before the wedding. Sitting in the boat at sunset, I read this poem to my grandson to make sure it caught all the memories he had shared with me and we both had tears in our eyes. we hugged I cried .
It’s a destination wedding he’s moved out of state, financially I’d rather just give him the money. I’m unable to attend but. They have a professional doing a wedding video. wedding video is the best thing we ever did. When I’d be upset with my husband, yelling and screaming, and he just pop in that little wedding video it’s pretty hard to be mad at someone when our vows are playing in the background. Lol.

this person, who reads somehow
almost every poem here deposited,
how he does it, a secret, well kept,
but hardly hidden, for he signals
his appreciation in so many ways,
and s p o t l i g h t s those who frequent
contribute, cheerleader and coach
with keen eye and sharpness of brain,
he affectively, affectionately, injects &
infects this little expanse,
this Kingdom of York,
where lovers meet,
speaking in their own
dialect of kindness…

writes himself with a uniqueness,
dare I say in his owned style?
there is never a doubt
who has authored his work,
so many superb scripts,
but his better good works,
present in his presence here,
bringing out the best of the
multiplicities of each of us

but of whom do I speak?

Why,

Carlo C. Gomez

of course!
