Two Become One

by Hidden Feelings within these Words

Happiness, is now truly what she feels in her life.
For she has let go of all her discouragement and strife.

Every night she used to spend in distraught and cry so many tears.
Come day she would hold it all back and swallow her fears.

And then one day, a few wonderful years ago.
Came a man, but little did she know he'd be her betrothe.

But, one fall day in 06, he asked her out.
Wanting to know a little more of her and what she was about.

Feeling sorry for him, she gave him a chance.
He was charming, but she hadn't fully looked beyond a glance.

He took her bowling, that didn't go so very well.
And then to dinner, where they talked, pulling her out of her shell.

She was very quiet, and she really didn't say much that day.
He took her home and said "How about a second date, what do you say?"

She gladly said yes, and smiled, and then in relief let out a sigh.
And then hugged him and said, "I'll see you later, bye-bye"

A few days later they saw each other, they stopped and talked.
He hated soccer, yet asked her to a game, she was shocked!

They went, and had a great fun time at the game.
He'd not admit it, but he had fun. "It's not a sport" he claims.

So, from there they started seeing each other alot.
And soon she escaped her shell and was no longer distraught.

Through their dating time, they went through so much.
They fell in love and talked about marriage and such.

Then after they had been dating for a little over a year.
he bought her a ring and proposed where everyone could hear.

She again so gladly said yes, hugged him and accepted the ring.
And everyone hugged them and congratulated them on everything.

They later called to tell of their engagement to all.
They then started planning their wedding for the fall.

For the next ten months, was almost all wedding plans.
From picking out the dress, to figuring out the best man.

After all their planning that week was soon here.
The decorating and rehearsal, with family all near.

The wedding morning was here and everyone was awake.
They went to breakfast, and she had a smile no one could take.

Then off to the church the wedding party and bride and groom went.
Only to find they'd forgotten the ring pillow, so the groomsman they sent.

She had her hair and makeup done, and started to put on the dress.
She wanted to make sure everything was perfect and looked her best.

So many pictures to take before the ceremony was to start.
Thinking of all there times together, knowing we'll never part.

Looking at her family, while standing by his side.
Knowing in their home again, she will never reside.

She knows they'll always be there for her, each step she takes.
Now as they become one, and their new family they make.

They say their vows, with family and friends all around.
All the time she stands there, she knows the perfect man she's found.

Today, in a very few minutes, she'll change her name.
She'll be a grown, married woman and no longer the same.

More pictures taken, Mr. and Mrs. pronounced right there.
So much time in their lives they'll have to be together and share.

Off to greet their guests, as they are congratulated.
This day came so fast, yet for so long they waited.

They head to the reception that was following,
the bride and groom so happy, they simply were glowing.

They then go to the table to cut the cake to feed it to each other.
And then following, a toast from his best man and brother.

They tossed the garter and boquet high in the air.
They all jumped for them, without a care.

They kissed their family and said goodbye.
As they drove away, her mother started to cry.

Because her baby is now grown up and married,
remembering when she was so little, she had to be carried.

They ride off to their very own place,
and get ready for their first night to embrace.

Their love that they have for each other has grown so strong.
Married to each other is right where they belong.

And now they begin their new life together today.
May we always walk with the Lord, as one, I pray.
