theirs was not a 'fairy tale' wedding
 
no glittery dresses, no giggly bridesmaids

no typical rituals, no handsome groomsmen

all she needed was to hold him closer 

when they say their vows under nature's presence
 
she looked a little pretty, he looked extremely charming

it was their day, their celebration of a new beginning

sparkly lights  settled all over the huge banyan tree

like cluster of flickering fireflies resting on its branches

standing beneath that brightly-dressed tree

they exchanged vows, rings, and love-soaked stares solemnly
 
'liebe, i take you as my lawfully, waffly wedded wife'

'mon amour, i take you as my lawfully, waffly wedded husband'

theirs was not a 'fairy tale' wedding

neither did they want one

no chaos, no intereference, no noise

all  she needed was to be with him forever

and their marriage to have the longest and best run
