Epithalalium also as Eulogy
Gathered here as she displayed courage
Some think that marriage resembles death
Church arrival in limousine or hearse carriage
Exhaling vow as with last breath
White gown turns into mourning dress
Tears flow during wedding or funeral
After-party farewell brunch I witness
Everyone toasting occasion begins to bawl
