No wedding?

Summer of '98

We had a 'what no wedding?'

In the back garden.

A 'what no meat?' Barbeque

In the rain.

Everyone wore white

Even though it was a

'What no wedding dress?'

Occasion.

The 'what no wedding cake?'

Was a chocolate fondue

With things for dipping.

The 'what no champagne'

Was - well actually

It was champagne.

"Let's never have a wedding again" I said.

"Let's never  do it every year" said you.

Thank you so much for the comments. I can hardly believe this was 20 years ago. Time is so slippery.

This sounds like a lot of spirit and little formality, which I think works well. Better than planning everything and getting all OCD about it. I feel comfortable and intrigued with the poem, Hazel!
