Butterflies in my stomach,
Coffee in my hand.
Calm down in my spirit:
I know this is the man.

Bridesmaids all around me.
Sleek dress in champagne-white.
Dangly diamond earrings,
Lingerie for late tonight.

Putting on my makeup,
Slip into my dress.
Another ten long minutes…
I’m impatient, I confess.

Cameras in the corner,
Guests have settled in.
This is it! I’m getting married!
I take a step and walk toward him.

Deep anticipation,
All mystery and hope!
Beauty, glory, blessing,
Such kindness from my Lord.

And with a ring and vow,
A kiss of promised love;
We two become one flesh
And paint a picture of our God.
