the destination wedding

he's getting married again.
in Puerto Rico
this time,
not the local church
in Alexandria, no
that would be too easy.
too close.
the brochure and invitation
arrived
just the other day.
a packet of information
with a map
and description
of where to stay.
it's a wonderful resort
along the sea.
white sand and palm trees.
or are they coconut trees?
i'm not sure.
it's a five day wedding
with activities around
the clock.
there will be fishing and golf.
horse back riding.
dancing and swimming.
pickleball,
then the ceremony, of course.
he used to be a regular
guy.
a can of beer, the football
game on tv.
shooting hoops up at
the school.
a burger and hot dog kind
of fellow.
i get a feeling that his soon
to be wife is behind all this.
it's too late though.
the invitations have been
sent,
and Puerto Rico has been
notified.
