For Jenna, On Her Wedding

And so begins this chapter in our lives
We are ready, you and I
We’ll live happily ever after
With diamonds in the floor and stars in the rafters
We’re so free and ready
To be with those who make us happy
So every promise that we made
We swear to always keep
We’ll be living to the fullest at dawn
When we want to stay asleep
Because life is too short to worry through
And there’s always more to say and do
But when life is hard, as it sometimes is
Remember the little things that made you laugh
And the bigger things that made you cry
And always remember to remember
You cried and laughed and you’re still alive
Because now we promise to ourselves
Years from now we will still be in love
And it will always be enough
And every day we will laugh more
We will love more, dance more, live more
We’ll be happier and smarter
More beautiful than ever before.
We are ready, you and I
To live with diamonds in the floor
And stars in our eyes.
