The Wedding Waitress

The happy couple said their vows

In the bright sunshine

As their guests stood and watched

Drinking sparkling white wine

 

The bride looked amazing

In her glowing white dress

But I couldn't take my eyes off

The pretty waitress

 

I stood and watched her

Sunglasses shading my gaze

As she gracefully wandered

Serving posh canapes

 

She approached me slowly

With a cute little smile

I took some food from her plate

And stared for a while

 

I said she looked pretty

But this made her blush

She looked all embarrassed

As she moved on in rush.

 

Her hair was brown

And was slightly curly

She wasn't too tall

About 5'4 or 5'3

 

She had porcelain skin

And astonishing green eyes

That weren't only pretty

You could tell they were wise.

 

We sat down for dinner

And the speeches began

As we tucked into our starter

Which was Mellon with ham

 

We drank and we laughed

While toasting the Bride and Groom

But I couldn't see my waitress

My eyes were scouring the room.

 

Then in a moment of pure

Serendipity

She knocked a full beer

And it splashed all over me.

 

She said she was sorry

As she took away my plate

I said that's OK

And thought 'this is fate!'

 

The wedding continued

And I was a bit worse for wear

I just kept thinking about her

Should I talk to her? Do I dare?

 

I decided I would

As the evening was coming to a close

Its now or never I thought

I need to give her that rose.

 

I took a rose from a centerpeice

And waited for my chance

No-one else was around

They were all having a dance.

 

She appeared from the kitchen

And I made my move

I walked over to her

And tried to act smooth

 

I said 'This is for you'

Then handed her the rose

She smiled and said

'Thank you, is it from one of those'

 

I laughed and said 'yes'

And she giggled back at me

We were sharing a moment

And were chatting quite happily

 

I said 'sorry I embarrassed you'

'I just think you are pretty'

She said 'Sorry for soaking you'

Then I said something witty.

 

She had to go as she was still working

So I quickly asked for her name

'It's Louise' she said 'I'm Darren' I said

'And hopefully I'll see you again'.

 

I took her hand and kissed it once

As she smiled and said goodbye

'It was lovely to meet you' I said

Walking away, I felt I could fly.

 

It's the next day now

I'm thinking of Louise

The moment we shared

Both completely at ease.

 

Despite being strangers

We just seemed to click

A wonderful moment

Where we both seemed to fit.

 

Fate will decide if I see her again

Who knows what direction we're heading?

But I'll never forget the moment we shared

Louise, the Waitress from the Wedding
