Rumination of a bride...on her wedding day!

The pink and the orange drapes, the golden marqee
The smiling gerberas and the glittering lights
Everything seems so perfect, so serene, so beautiful

As I stand infront of the mirror, I see not me
But a shy bride ready to embark upon a new journey
The tangerine sari compliments my peach skin tone,
The carefully handpicked gold jewellery twinkles all over me
My hair dazzles with sheen!!!
Have I been this beautiful all along? I wonder...

Amidst the hussle and the celebration
A soft heart deep inside beats fast
It seems like it is a bit scared, a lot hopeful
"The groom is here!" shouted someone...
My heart skipped a beat, How will he be?

My Prince in his shining armour
Would he keep all the promises he made?
Would I be always treated like a Princess?
Would he love me, trust me, believe in me...
Would I have my happily ever after?...

Will I ever get to be my daddy's little girl again?
My sister's sweetheart, my mom's best friend

As I tiptoe out of my room, I take a look back...
One last time...everything will remain as it is
Except for me...
But I am not going anywhere, not alone
From now on, my memories will be my shadow
Nudging me, guiding me...

My life will change from tomorrow
My name will change too...
My soul gives a soft bellow
Every step I take...I get closer
to my future

Friends rush to be by my side
They walk me by
I see my mother wipe a tear
As she catches a glimpse of me

Countless faces fixed upon me
Numerous wishes fill my way
They marvel, wish, bless me
A princess that I feel I am...
I beam...yes! It's my day!

I walk down the aisle...and find him waiting
His hopeful eyes find their way upto me
I see him...I blush...
Crushing on my man...all over again
He winks and smiles...
"You'll do great baby! It's gonna be ok"
His eyes seemed to say...
I'll hold your hand and never let go
"Together we'll make it happen...you and me
Will build a world of us!

I catch his confidence
in sweet mutuality...as always
I feel no longer afraid, nor anticipate
Coz I know we'll be
Together forever and never apart
In mind and thoughts, in soul and heart!
