The sky was brighter that night;
fireworks illuminated the air.
A crowd of strangers stood just outside the Vatican City
mesmerized by the night's beauty.
Just then, she walked out dressed in white.
And me, tux and tie.
All heads turned.
Tourists stopped in admiration,
stealing pictures from all directions.
Applause broke out, and cheer of Auguri! Auguri!
Was all we heard as we pushed our way through the crowds.
That night was nothing shy of perfection.
