His knees gave out before his vows did.

His knees gave out before his vows did.

The groomsmen reached for him
but there was nothing to steady.
This was not falling.
This was surrendering.

She stood twenty feet away
watching the strongest man she knows
become the softest version of himself
at the sight of her.

No rehearsal prepares you for this.
No mirror warned her she could do this to a man.

This is the photograph their grandchildren
will hold up and say,
"This. This is how he loved her."
