Reflection on My Daughter's Wedding

O. Kris Widmer

Idea 2 April, 2016  – Reflection on a Wedding

And not just any wedding…Rebekah Widmer’s Wedding!

Three Word Wednesday #473:  Required Words:  Elated, Flicker, Halting

The day finally arrived -

March 27, 2016

Easter Sunday

Rocklin Event Center

3:00 p.m. -

though it was all over too quickly.

tables clothed

settings set

salads tossed

soup bubbled

bubbly chilled

M&M’s poured

camera click

snacks

notes

nails

hair

gowns

tuxedos

flowers

sand

smiles

laughter

goats

elated parents stroll the aisle

attendants take their places

flower girls pouted, tossing petals

the groom awaits –

         the flicker of desire in his eyes

the bride arrives in “the dress”

         radiant and ravishing

Guest book, pen

Our Father…Amen!

Nothing’s amis!

This altar, that kiss!

They said “I do”!

We say “Wah Hoo!”

Everyone exits

to the party,

including Grannie,

walking with halting steps.
