She shimmered in white lace

Delicate threads sinuously wrapped her curves

The veil barring her furtive eyes

Deep breaths and twitching smiles

The minutes fragmented and time slowed

She saw everything and nothing at once

Felt just his soft touch. Rings exchanged

And vows heard. Two fates forbidden to be undone

An elegant ritual of love, they said

Or an elaborate social contract, she thought

Grand theatre for the faithful.
