The union of a husband and wife is played out. It is written from the viewpoint of the husband.
Last night I couldn’t sleep
Thinking about about tomorrow
For I would be married to a beauty
That’s smart, intelligent
With a winning smile
It would be my lucky day
For we would be joined as husband
And wife in holy matrimony
When I popped the question
I was surprised when she said, “yes”
With gleeful eyes
I felt a tingling sensation down my spine
We would really be exchanging wedding vows
Saying, “I do”
I would be sure to dress in my specially

Made classic gray suit for the occasion
With my signature red tie and black
Pointed tip shoes
I’d be waiting for my bride all decked out
In the purity of white to walk down the aisle
As she debuts her flowing dress
With a tiara and trail
At that exciting moment
She moved gracefully down the aisle
Escorted by my father-in-law to be
To stand beside me
I recalled the elegance of the whole spectacle
With the bridesmaids dressed in purple
And the groomsmen also in classic gray
That preceded her entrance
But the only thing that I kept thinking
Was, “where was my wedding band
That I had to exchange with her to seal
Our union as a symbol of our love.”
I didn’t remember which one of us
Had our ring slipped on first
“Was it me or her?”
I was partly confused but excited
Completely dazzled by it all
However, once we were joined
As husband and wife
We sat at the head table
When the music began to play
I led her
To the dance floor and danced
Our first dance as husband and wife
Imagine how it felt doing a slow waltz
With my own wife
After the reception had begun
And speeches were made
Guests joined in the merriment
They partook of a variety
Of sumptuous foods and drinks
Waited until our three tiered cake
With icing and silver balls were cut
It was followed by my bride’s bouquet toss
WIth this new beginning my wife and I
Drove off into the sunset
