Pre-wedding Jitters

Fretting away the minutes
which turn into hours.
Every waking moment
turns into hopeful prayers that all will turn out perfectly.
It has to - we're due a break!

Good weather, so Jonathan's parents
can travel safely and be witnesses.
Likewise, so I can pick up Mother safely
as I promised her
that come hell or high water
she would see her daughter get married.

Can we get a date in time
before Mother goes on vacation?
What on earth will I wear
since we're not doing traditional dress?

We've been working on this for years
and now we're down to the last couple weeks
And we're nervous wrecks!
What if I forget my vows?
What if it snows?

Now I understand why brides
get sick and have headaches
I'm in their shoes
But it's worth it.

So I can only hope
and wait
and pray
Please let it all go smooth!
