In a class I am taking, I must use 6 tricky words. I swtiched perspectives between the groom and bride. Tell me what you think. Thank you!

The chic bride began to walk down the aisle.
Over the rose petals, her elegant trousseau glided with grace.
She looked up to meet his eyes with a smile,
and gazed intently at his debonair face.

The bon homme groom stood at the altar,
looking up to see his bride gliding forward in adagio pace.
He smiled, waiting patiently, without falter.
The rings they would soon apply would become interlaced.

In a sotto voce tone, they whispered to each other, "I do."
Their lives would be united together as one,
their love would always remain true.

Question: Why did Douglass choose to include the poem by whittier?

watched mother paint the house When she got to the windows I told her there was no need for paint there I could paint our windows With my breath. With my opened mouth, I showed her. Icicles grew until it ripped across the length of the window, The loops of my cursive 'A' peeled back the window, Stretching in the middle to reveal Droplets of spit. When I found him, fast asleep, on the footstep of my house I waited for him to wake up When he did, I told him I had already fallen in love With far too many empty words. He ran to his car Grabbed his suit and carried my words to outer space, Here, let them stay here. I sat and watch my words gnaw at each other. I wonder if from there, they felt how hot The stars burned against the cold air. When my words came tumbling back down From that gory gash that cut so deeply across the sky, I told him we can only fit so many words Into space. When I crawled onto his bed, into his sheets, I waited for him to undress I watched as he kept his last layer on. He took the layers he shed Tied them all and created a net I sat and watch as he fished for things to say. I wonder When did we start Using our words to fill emptiness. When I grew up, I learned how to paint myself With invisible ink. Watch how I disappear in pieces Watch before you Take another breath How quickly I can disappear before you wake."</p></div><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" border="0" height="1" width="1" /></div>  </td>  </tr>  <tr>  <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;">  <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;">  <a name="6" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20150323144631AAnT3nD">Question: What poem by Edgar Allan Poe should I read next?</a>  </p>  <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;">  <span>Posted:</span> 23 Mar 2015 02:46 PM PDT</p>  <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><div id="">I have read before:<br/>The Raven<br/>Annabel Lee<br/>Ulalume<br/>A Dream Within A Dream<br/>Evening Star<br/>Alone<br/>To Helen<br/>Dream-Land<br/>The Bells<br/>The City In The Sea<br/>To My Mother<br/>The Conqueror Worm<br/>Eldorado<br/>Bridal Ballad<p>What do you suggest?
