Stewart and Martha.
Last year’s wedding.
Florists, bakers, venues and retailers.
On newsstands and in emails.
The great December wedding.


The definition of marriage.
An effort to be in today’s society.
The name change.
Prepared to expand a family.
Marriage, to keep up with the times.


This marriage was a made up
celebration of love.
They were never 100% commitment.
Marriage isn’t for this bride.
Efforts are made but,
always is an issue.
Decisions are made.
Court’s ruling by June.
