Media feeding frenzy,
designer dress deadline,
former friends interviewed at length.
Thousands of images
on rolling repeat,
cake recipes dissected,
food choices scrutinized,
everybody who is anybody
has their say.
Guest list examined,
family feuds uncovered,
magazine and newspapers
bulging with titbits for weeks.
Bridal party etiquette,
cultural observances,
a nod to religion
otherwise ignored.
A blaze of colour,
pomp and ceremony,
time old traditions
dragged out of the cupboards
and polished as new.
Thousands of extras
and millions of viewers
gripped by the spectacle
that will finish today.
