Gowns of Deceit

Bachelor's party,
A fiesta of what's to come.
Where good advice is given,
And also some that's dumb.

A best man's friend,
May cut up and poke some fun.
But perhaps he's simply jealous,
He'll never be a husband or have a son.

I won't say marriage is the best,
Since it is also often the worst.
It has the ability to turn sour,
Even if it seems perfect at first.

So many people say they're different,
And that their marriage will last.
They're just as ignorant as the rest,
Who made the same mistake in the past.

So then what makes it work?
Patience, understanding, and care?
Even things like these,
Can't stop an inevitable affair.

Perhaps there's no guarantee,
You'll love them 'til death do you part.
But hopefully before you die,
You'll love them the same as from the start.
