Long long ago, 17 years in fact, Nathan & Sylvia met.

The wind blew strong as the leaves stirred round and the stage was just about set.

It was a college tour for the incoming class that Sylvia that day had led.

She guided the tour as Nate followed close; and Syl’s heart began to turn red.

It was fateful that day that these two would be, as Syl told her friends they would.

She said, “I will be with him one day”, as her friends laughed in doubt. Her prediction turned out to be good.

They were in the same class and would often say, “hi”. For a while it ended in “bye”.

Until Nate asked her out, for a drink they would go, they didn’t know how it would turn out.

It was rainy that day with just one umbrella to share, and the sparks, whoa how they flew.

The night ended well with a hug and a kiss; and their love, oh how it grew.

Now seventeen years later they will tie the knot, and hope that you will be there.

So keep your eyes peeled for the pony express, because this invitation is rare.
