So that wedding yesterday...

Aside from the altar being completely crooked…
Aside from the ‘official’ photographer looking like a Blood and not knowing anything about photography but pointing and shooting…
Aside from the Bride & Groom looking unhappy the entire time…
Aside from the Bride & Groom’s daughter crying from the moment she arrived, not walking down the aisle, and not taking any pictures…
Aside from the uber-Christian Groom being completely rude to his Muslim mother…
Aside from them getting married out of fear of going to Hell for shacking up and having 2 kids (her, 3)…
Aside from them being too Christian to have a first dance…
Aside from it looking like the hybrid of a junior prom and upscale cookout…

The wedding was cool…

There are many and more who would kiss my hand, taste my lips, to my loneliness lend their bodies’ warmth.

I have want of a friend.

There are few, some few, who would give their names and fortunes rich or send their first sons to my ailing bed.

I have need of a friend.

There is one and only one who will give the air from his failing lungs for my body’s mend.

And that one is my love.
