Window into a Wedding

Aged brick pathways

through overgrown hedges.

James Monroe greets you at the end.

We are, after all, at his farm.

An enormous welcoming gazebo

all set for a reception--

twinkle lights, twigs, tulle

and trees everywhere.

flowers in bottles hanging from the rafters

a romantic lover's nook

and this view.

oh my.

A gorgeous setting for such an important event.

The exchanging of the most sacred promises:

for better for worse

for richer for poorer

in sickness and in health

till death do we part.
