Serena's Wedding Day
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
Tuxedo, and a starched white shirt.
Even tied my bow tie, without getting hurt.
Oh, I'm on time, my shoes are shined,
I try to shake my fear,
But I can't believe this day is really here.
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
I take another glance at the clock. 11:37 A.M. Not even a
minute since the last time I looked. Another glance in the mirror
proves that everything is in order, my tie is strait, shoes are
shined -- everything is perfect. The tuxedo is identical to that of
every other guy in the room, only the chrysanthemums in our lapels
are different. Setsuna has good taste, even if the shirt is a
little stiff. 11:38. Just seven minutes until we leave for the
church. I can't believe this day is really here.
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
I've got directions, but I feel lost,
Now I've come to,
I've come to a bridge I haven't crossed...
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
Slowly, ever so slowly the time passes, and finally, we are
leaving for the church. The drive seems to take forever, but in
less than five minutes we arrive, and my companions and I walk
down to the front of the church. The girls did a wonderful job
decorating. It's like a re-creation of heaven. The white, pink
and blue sheer fabric covering the light grey stone walls and
flowing between the white marble pillars gives the church an angelic
appearance. The stain glass windows donated years ago when the
church was built glow a thousand different hues of pink, orange,
red, blue, yellow, and every other color of the rainbow as the
light shines through them giving a mistifying look to the already
gorgous church. The minister reminds us where to stand, just like
we did in the rehearsals. A foreboding feeling of lost fills me as
I stand here. I can't believe this day is really here.
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
I see our friends, the march begins,
And there she is at last...
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
Our friends come up to the mahogany alter with congratulations
and the chapel is filled with the delightful chatter of our friends
and loved ones. The priest nods to the organist, the music begins
as everyone takes their seats. Slowly, little Reeny and Heather
make their way up the aisle, dropping red, pink, and white rose
petals as they go. Following behind the two little visions in pink
and purple are the girls, Serena's closed friends and confidants.
Finally, once all the girls are up at the front standing by the
altar, the reason my heart beats enters. I can't believe this day is
really here.
The gown she is wearing couldn't have been a better choice.
She is breath takingly stunning in it. The white dress radiates
glory to all that behold her. The veil that covers her beautiful
face seems to mock me, not allowing me to witness my love in all
her gorgeous splendor. This day is really here.
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
She'll walk down the isle,
And I'll see her smile,
And I'll promise her, forever to be true,
I'll give my heart away...
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
Slowly, agonizingly so, she makes her way towards the altar
and the beginning of a new life on her father's arm. She is here
at last. She smiles at me, and I greatfully return the favor. Her
father grudgingly releases her arm, lifts her veil, giving my a
brief look at her perfect face as he gives her a quick kiss on the
cheek, and replaces the veil, fussing with one edge a bit. Slowly,
she turns from him, and into the arms of destiny she goes, her new
husband. My heart breaks as she walks past.
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
And my heart breaks the moment she walks past.
@--->---->----- -----<----<---@ @--->---->----- -----<----<---@
End.

Lesley's Wedding Day
by Joel Feeney
Tuxedo, and a starched white shirt.
Even tied my bow tie, without getting hurt.
Oh, I'm on time, my shoes are shined,
I try to shake my fear,
But I can't believe this day is really here.
'Cause
She'll walk down the isle,
And I'll see her smile,
And I'll hear her say 'I do,'
And I know I will too,
And I'll promise her, forever to be true,
I'll give my heart away, on Lesley's Wedding Day.
I've got directions, but I feel lost,
Now I've come to,
I've come to a bridge I haven't crossed,
I see our friends, the march begins,
And there she is at last,
And my heart breaks the moment she walks past.
And she walks down the isle,
And I see her smile,
And I hear her say 'I do,'
And I know I do too,
And I promise her, forever to be true,
I give my heart away, on Lesley's Wedding Day.
I won't scream out 'Lesley don't do it!
I still love' (still love you),
But I know I can't say that,
Because today I know we're through,
And now I know we're through.
And she walked down the isle,
And I saw her smile,
And I heard her say 'I do,'
And I wispered 'I do, too,'
And I promised her, forever to be true,
I gave my heart away, oh, I gave my heart away,
On Lesley's Wedding Day.
