Inspired by the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton...
Her chest was constricted
Heart aflutter with anxiety
Butterflies in her stomach
Trying to show propriety
Clutching her Father’s hand
Hoping to quell the shaking
Staring up the ornate aisle
Towards the choice she’s making
She can only just see him
Wearing his army uniform
And upon his lips he smiles
The day is no longer norm
As the music begins to play
A soft and inspiring melody
She takes the first steps
Fighting to remain steady
As she draws ever nearer
She cannot help but grin
A shy blush upon her cheeks
The distance wearing thin
When she is near enough
He reaches his gloved hand
Her Father passes hers to him
Exactly as it was planned
His smile has widened further
Eyes alight with admiration
She stares through her veil
Fighting back her hesitation
“There are no words to describe,
How beautiful you are today.”
He whispers, quiet and quickly
Before the priest got in the way
There were no words she had
To say without any kind of delay
To compare to his declaration
“I love you” was all she could say
They then turned together
The priest greets the crowd
Says a prayer, prepares the vows
Parents stand up proud
The pair is then united
With the passing of rings
A final declaration of love
Becomes the strongest of things
Then slowly as he can
He raises her veil of lace
And flips over her tiara
To reveal her serene face
Delicately holding her cheek
“I love you” in a fleeting hiss
Before he pulls her closer
Sweeps her into a longing kiss
They are completely alone
The crowd is no longer there
Enclosed in their own world
Fingers tangled in their hair
When their lips have parted
From her feet he lifts her high
Swirling her around in delight
To him she lets out a sigh…
“This day could be no better,
For the love we have is priceless
For you my handsome Prince
I’ll always be your Princess…”
