A wedding is the entrance to a marriage: One drives through, and suddenly one's there! Stepping from a fairy tale carriage Into quite ordinary air. Life is now a dance, though beautiful, Requiring intense coordination; Each self becomes, in ways inscrutable, More fully what it is in combination. And we who love you wait, of course, outside As you become through love that mystery: One flesh made whole of separate groom and bride; Two selves, one life; two notes, one harmony. When you are one, we then may cherish two: Loving not just one, but both of you.
