Married to a wedding

As I reflect
upon my quest
to have a meal
for every guest
and flowers droop
when they once draped
I paid too much
Now it’s too late
The cost per minute
it did add up
Now I’m inclined
to pass the cup.
When all I want
is to get married
It should be fun
not cross or harried
A wedding puts you
under a spell
Before you know
it’s planning hell
First this, then that
Forgot the other
Did you remember
to ask his mother?
The music, gifts,
the band and such
Let’s face it  y’all,
it costs too much.
I want a marriage
not just a wedding
I want this man
whose love I’m getting
For some I know
this isn’t true
Their goal is just
to say “I do.”
And when it’s done
they turn around
and find a way
to put him down.
Why all they want
A dress all white
Their hair in place
Their makeup tight.
