I Would Love To Get Married

I would love to get married
Say 'I do' and don't mean any bit of it
I would love to get married
Just like I planned with my ex
Not the early morning rush to stand wedded with other couples, screaming "reception follows" watching our guests smile with thoughts of Jollof rice to come.
I would love to get married
Like I planned with her
When the sun is setting
When our guests won't be sweating under their suit
No live noisy live bands
With the D.J playing micheal learns to rock mildly
I would like to get married
With friends who are familiar with each other
That know every detail about me and her
Not a large crowd who are strangers to themselves
Posing for coverages from city magazines
Nah!
I would love to get married
Like the Mexicans
Dancing with arms hooked to loved ones in a large circle
With the sky dark
And the breeze cold
Under trees decorated with bright bulbs
I would love to get married
Not meaning the 'I do' we get asked by the priest we hire
what a phony
I would love to get married
Without the ' I do's'
Because we already do before we are put on the spot
I would love to get married
Not because I have to
But because we want to
Weddings are for the relatives
Marriage isn't even for us
Because even without marriage
We will be together till death do us part
We won't need a document to bind us
I would love to get married
Just to show off our friendship
How happy we already are together
Not because she wants to be married
Even if I was too broke for a wedding
We would still elope
I would love to get married
Just to show off our friendship
