A TWIST OF FATE

A TWIST OF FATE

She promised to love, honor, and cherish
As she looked up into his eyes;
Yet a twist of fate befell her mate,
Exposing all of his lies.

The preacher asked if anyone at all
Had an objection that they wed;
A young girl stepped forward then
And this is what she said:

"I know this may be a betrayal
Of the confidence he entrusted to me;
But he told me that we would marry -
That I was his bride-to-be!"

The face of the bridegroom reddened,
And the face of the bride was shocked;
"How could you!" she said, "I will not wed!"
And out of the church she walked!
