If you'd love to read the rest of this series, feel free to take a plunge back under the sea with me! Mermaids Wish: /pip/Forum53/HTML/001991.html Dance Of The Mermaid: /pip/Forum53/HTML/002095.html Mermaid Embrace: /pip/Forum53/HTML/002319.html Mermaid Wedding By: Noah Eaton 2/3/02 The mermaid combs her hair with a coral brush As her brothers present to her a wedding gown Passed down to her from her ancestors, hinted in blush Encrusted in pearls, fashioned out of gossamer and eiderdown Her long amber hair is sprinkled with lupines The hems of her dress drape down to her fins, notched in bobbin lace She sits in her mother's Hepplewhite chair, recovered from Atlantis's confides Closing her eyes as her friendly seamstresses polish her face From a sapphire cruet, her body is balmed in freesia Her body now scented with the aromatic essence of matrimony As his body is lathered in the juice of the cherimoya His flesh now glazed to the manly passion of eternity this briny wedding... The dolphins lead these soulmates together on opposite sides of the ark Decorated with festoons of jasmine and heather and pearl chandeliers As mischievious little sea horses greet the couple as the priest starts Husband and wife wearing sapphire coral rings in ceaseless cheer As both merman and mermaid declare "I do!", the waters fill with bubbles Rainbow streamers casting out among all the coral reefs with exploding light As he takes her into his tender arms, lifting her veil, kissing her soft and slow All the fish of the sea spinning around them, painting all the colors of loves delight Kissing passionately in tears, he helps her up into a lovers canoe Electric eels and fairy shrimp lighting the evening sea with firefly light As dolphins and barracudas perform somersaults in the beginning of a fevered honeymoon Fevered in the bliss of heavenly love, in the heart of this crystal night...
