In a London mist, Carl made his way, A path diverged, a moment's play, Caught the early train by chance, Stole a curious, lingering glance. Stephanie stood with a smile brewing, Her eyes a gentle, soft undoing, Two strangers danced in fate's embrace, In a café small, they found their place. Sips of coffee, warm and light, Turned fleeting chance to lasting night, Words exchanged, their hearts did sway, Love blossomed in a daylight fray. Years have passed since that serendipity, Sliding doors that whispered possibility, Now vows are shared, a life held fast, On this happy day, their first, not their last.
