Our Wedding

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: At a dance just the other day, this girl had stole’ my heart away,Although I know I’d seen this girl before.So I thought I would take a chance and so I asked her for a dance,We danced until we couldn’t dance no more.I asked if I could take her home, tomorrow call her on the phone,And try to get a date with her sometime,then she kind of smiled at me and gave her number happily,she said that I could call her any time. I called her Monday, she’s too busy;Tuesday, she feels dizzy;Wednesday, her line is busy, I guess I’ll try again;I called her Thursday, busy knitting;Friday, babysitting;A wrong number she turned out to be. (About 4-1/2 years later ,,,,),,, Now the times really changed my life, this girl will now become my wife,I went down to her home to ask her out.Now I feel proud of what I’ve done, I love her she’s the only one,I found out what love is all about.Now after many years of love, I still thank the Lord above,For this girl that I chose for my wife,I laugh at how I had to WAIT just to get a date,With this girl that’s now my whole life. THE END !!
