Dancing Queen

The rooftop venue was open to the Brisbane night. Warm and dark, with the lights of the city shining across the river and onto the dance floor. People were happy. Dancing Queen began to play through the speakers, bodies moved towards the centre of the floor.


The bride appeared, an epic fountain of dress and energy. She was the dancing queen for a moment, young and free. I watch her spin in the middle of her wedding. Moments earlier I listened to the groom as he spoke with love and vulnerability. Beautiful.


The light sparkled on the river and life changed a little. The bride and groom were now a husband and wife. The music played on.
