Hello there, Mr. Alien. Sir, what did you say?
How do you do?
Oh, of course, I mustn't call you sir. That is your father.
I certainly hope I'm not a bother.
I have a simple question for you.
Do you mind wearing this tux and being my best man?
You see, my fiancè and I have eloped, and this wasn't our plan!
An alien happened to land right on the former best man!
So please hurry and put this on.
We shan’t be long.
Just a few words and we will be one
As you can see, we were meant to be
I'm sure you have much to see
On this planet of ours
But this love is something you can't miss
Welcome to Earth, Mr. Alien
Husband and Bride kiss.

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.

Super!!! Excellent story!!! ❤💗💝
Supercute! I love it!
This gave me a chuckle Jazzy, thanks! 😁
lol… This was such a funny idea 🙈 poor best man 😅
Oh this was fun!
♥️Excellently done 💋📝😉
I enjoyed reading this very much, Jazzy! It’s one of my favorite entries for the challenge. The best man probably deserved it anyway 🤣
The poor best man! Did he recover or did the alien drag his corpse off to the ship to be dissected? You left me wondering!
Awww, this is like the sweetest thing ever! So beautiful!
Such a unique way to interpret the prompt. 🩵👏🏼
Great take on the challenge. 😎
Lol, this was quite the ride! I'm echoing others, but the crushed former best man is making me giggle, more so the groom's reaction! Imagine an alien seeing a wedding as his first intro to Earth...What would that set him up to believe? I'm now off to ponder...
That would be the best ceremony photo ever!!! Lol. Loved your poem.
I love it ! Congratulations ! :)
Poor best man!!! It was fitting that the alien filled in for the wedding!!!
Omg I love this! So many alien poems today including mine, but I think yours is the best! Wonderful work! Hope you enjoy my alien poem too!
I shouldn't laugh that the best man got squished but.....LMAO!!!!! Very interesting reaction form the newly weds to the alien. Great poem.
This is so cute <3 Love it
