The season between May and October is one of the most popular times for weddings, especially outdoor weddings. But in Texas, that can mean celebrations in 100-degree weather. That was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.
Outdoor Summer Weddings
they’re getting married
these people you love
and you’re ready to celebrate
them
their future
their wide open hearts
and you must
must
think of the best gift
the most poignant
memorable
piece of your love
to share with them
as they journey forward
together
so
ok
what could it be?
how about this?
You will actually show up
to their outdoor
summer
wedding
in texas
and you will smile
through your sweat
and you won’t complain
not even once.
now THAT is a gift from the heart
THAT is a thing to cherish
the love, tears, and sweat
of a summer wedding
in texas.
