Nine Weddings

Eight times I’ve been a bridesmaid.
Eight dresses I have bought.
Eight receptions later,
No bouquet have I caught!

Guess you could say that the time
Is not right yet for me.
I don’t have a steady
Who’d ask me to marry!
         
It would just be nice to date!
He need not be a prince.
I kissed a lot of frogs
To know that makes no sense!

A friend has now just asked me
To be in wedding number nine
If I have any luck,
I’ll meet this man of mine!

You know the age old saying
“The third time is the charm”
For me it may be nine
If not, then what’s the harm?

On the way to the rehearsal
I hailed a yellow cab
The same time as a man.
We shared, and rode and gabbed.

Turns out that he was going
Right to the same address!
He was the groom’s cousin
And cute, I must confess!

Now that the wedding’s over
We’re dating! Lucky me!
He’s told me he’s in love
And I’m in ecstasy!

Guess nine’s my lucky number
Because I met my guy
We’ll always be together,
And I’ll love him ‘til I die.
