Shire of Hepburn, Dja Dja Wurrung Country
Red dust rises with my spirits
as I pull into the parking lot
and walk in the footprints
of guests in garden attire.
Reaching paddock-fringed gardens,
I stand amongst familiar faces
of long-lost mates
and feel my grin grow.
I meet my mate’s husband-to-be
for the very first time.
I now know this rural bloke —
Damien — is Nate’s ideal match.
Soon each groom
walks down a natural aisle
with his sister & his canine
to sounds of sincerest acoustic music.
Their self-penned vows bring
tender laughter & many an aww.
Their formal vows bring
them together on legal paper.
As night falls on grazed farmland,
we eat from gourmet food trucks
and raise our matching stubby holders
to Nate’s off-the-cuff speech
about obstacles & gratefulness.

I am grateful to my friends, Nate and Damien, for permitting me to write about their wedding.
