Wedding Rehearsal

I wrote this in my church office after the rehearsal on Friday evening fell apart. Everyone was so apathetic about the whole thing. I was just really pissed! Of course I care for all involved and hope for the best. The wedding happened the next day and went okay except the best man could hardly stand up and one of the bridesmaids was now in love with a groomsman who was married. Something about Friday night's party.

Wedding Rehearsal

 

I don’t really like performing

Weddings very much

People acting crazy

Mostly drunk and such

 

Bride not very blushing

Wears a red cherub face

Tiara tightly on her head

Plays lightly with her lace.

 

Line up please! I shout

One bridesmaid forgot

Usher tells a dirty joke

Groom outside smoking pot.

 

Bride’s mother all upset

Running pell-mell to and fro

Nothing seems to fall in place

The organist did not show.

 

Tempers flare through the church

Harsh voices raised in ire

Bride’s getting married tomorrow

Groom doesn’t really care.

 

Someone brought a half a keg

On the back of a pickup truck

They all go out and gather round

I say, “Who gives a flying f***!”

This makes me glad that I did not have a "formal" wedding. In any event, over half of marriages end up "on the rocks" and not like scotch either... LOL! Love and peace,

All you can do is laugh, shake your head, and live by your own heart. Watch "Bridezilla" now and then.

Funny stuff. It's too bad this is real. Good job on the poem. Sometimes all you can do is just laugh.

Sounds like the rehearsal was more fun than the ceremony, and certainly better than the honeymoon. Patrick

Wow, I have been to two weddings this past month of July, one my daughter's on the 2nd, and just two days ago on the 31st..We had a great wedding rehearsal for both..but your poem is to me a nightmare and the beginning of divorce court without even breathing..

Hope you have better experiences soon!!!!

Peace, love and light,
Amber

Well... so did God unite them in Holy matrimony or did Dad bring the shotgun? Sounds like a horrible experience. Maybe they'll get it right next time, or the next, or the wedding after that. sheeeeesh! Well written and amusing. J

On one hand, it sounds like this couple was walking into marriage, totally prepared, even up to the Friday night affair...then on the other hand, who is ever ready...for marriage, etc.?

Cheers,
Dan

This is wonderful. I like people who speak whatever's on their mind and just let it rip!! You've done very well here.

Ya can't blame the groom for getting a buzz, after all he has to deal with most of those people for the rest of his life...probably also makes it easier to say "I Duz"...e

You've got me falling off my breakfast chair Dayvid!!!
This is hilarious ~
I'm not one to get too nostalgic about weddings...
when love is there, as far as I'm concerned, it's already a soul marriage, and when love's not, even if a couple is married, it's a hoax. I'm not much for pomp and circumstance, but all for what's inside the heart.
Blessings to you!

it makes me even moreso believe
and understand what I always say to people
fretting over weddings and whatnots about weddings:

"It is NOT the size of the wedding which matters most
BUT the size of the marriage...."

Justice of The Peace (or Judge or Holy Person)
& Private Party for Twoooooo...Saves allot of money!!!
and stress :)
