the wedding stabbing

the incident was on the news.
the caterer
has stabbed
the groom.
the cake was not right,
the bride asked for five
tiers
not two.
the shrimp were
undercooked,
but there was dancing
before the stabbing,
and music,
an open bar,
and a river view.
relatives came from as far
away as
Philadelphia
in their long white cars.
even the flowers
were wrong though,
despite being plentiful.
who knew the bride
was allergic
to daffodils.
the white dress was off
white,
not snow white,
not like the first dress
of her three marriages.
when he heals, her lawyer
husband,
will begin, under the bride's
advisement on
how to sue.
