Being a wedding of the richest
illuminations overwhelm
cuisines are multinational
entertainments abound
charter flights throng the skies
eyes look above
perhaps nothing to see on the ground
as gentlemen and ladies
clad in brocade and tussar silk
decked with diamonds
with feet an inch above
sail like a waft of air
laden with aroma
Hermes Birkin bags dangle
while Rolex watches tick
the bride and the groom
turn a speck in the ocean
where extravaganza gobbles.
solemnity.
That being the event of the year.
Few uncaught by the ostentation
Wish the couple austerity and wisdom
