My youngest daughter was married on February 2, 2018, and this poem was written to honor the special day experienced by a loving couple. The poem was originally published in January, 2019. It has been updated and edited in style.
Montana’s Lone Mountain stands above most peaks
Providing skiing challenges and thrills for all to seek
Today brings sweet, special time on this tallest mountain
Witnessing marriage joy, more beautiful than any fountain
On cloudless and frigid Friday, love will indeed arrive
Blessing God’s joining of two people, to forever thrive
This loving couple enjoys their shared passion to ski
Planning to tie marital knot, wedding party shall see
Carried to lofty summit, gondola ride quite soaring
Bride and groom cement their love at mid-morning
There’s no more beautiful moment than a wedding
Linking of two lives as one, in this majestic setting
Wedding vows exchanged in blusterous, bitter cold
Sharing their simple words of love, special and bold
Precious wedding rings left at home, safely hidden
Dropping them in deep powder, would be forbidden
Brief ceremony proceeds to its eventual conclusion
Watching husband kissing wife, seals God’s union
Newly married couple, outfitted in finest skiing attire
Skiing as husband and wife, before daylight expires
Easy to find, youthful bride finishing her downhill run
Wearing white veil on top of her helmet, just for fun
Husband and wife, skiers with remarkable skill
Sharing and enjoying further runs, sharing thrills
Holy Father sanctifying this couple’s wedding day
Smiling at faithful love, with beloved words to say
Love this!

Carole, thanks for reading. The entire weekend was a joy, and it offered my wife her first look at Montana in the winter (and we were blessed with plenty of snow).
