Jane and I were sitting in front of the Guildhall in Sandwich
It is normally a rather reserved quiet location
But from inside the building loud cheers could be heard
A wedding was taking place a very informal wedding
The almost chaotic guests emerged just after the bride
Suits and pretty summer dresses were the order of the day
It may have been deliberate but this seemed a shared wedding
As the bride and groom photo posed in front of Costa Coffee
Which although rather nice was not that picturesque
People with dogs and people without dogs
Drifted in and out of shot as a nearby bus shelter filled
Visitors watched the proceedings from the church tower
And I felt that all was well with the world
The sun was slowly breaking through the clouds
But the sea winds could still be felt as they danced
Everything was rather beautiful in Sandwich
Earlier in the hour I had purchased an abalone brooch
It was neither vintage or modern
But I thought its beauty suited Jane
As the timeless colours hidden within
Reflected her radiance of her summer grey eyes
