All guests are seated, now in hush
The church has set the scene
With flower-decorated pews
White roses; ferns of green
"My precious daughter, now a bride
A wonder to my eyes.
Just yesterday, my little girl
And now, another's prize."
The organ pipes "The Wedding March"
All stand--she walks the aisle
With radiance, a graceful look
The groom beams with his smile.
They're side-by-side, soon to be one
A tear drops from her eye
The silence broken with their vows
And many start to cry
The bells are ringing! Rice like snow!
Such joy is in the air
Outside, the flanks of giggling girls
Await the bouquet's flair.
The decorated limousine
Is sweeping them away
They turn around and wave to all
Then kiss--it's their New Day.

Author Notes
The challenge is to write a poem that includes the words provided. Your poem can be of any type.
The words:
flower - silence - wonder - cry - smile - flank - rake - scene
The English language includes quite a few words that have more than one meaning. This list intentionally includes several to keep things interesting.
You have the option to leave out one word. So your poem must include at least 7 of the 8 words listed. You make a word plural (for example scene/scenes).
For my poem, I have chosen an 8-6-8-6 iambic meter with a
Rhyme Scheme of ABCB. (and omitted the word, rake)
