Help me with my sonnet?

Question

My teacher assigned us to write a sonnet, and I'm not the best poet. I know the first line isn't exactly 10 syllables but I'll cheat a little. I have only 4 lines, I need ten more. Any suggestions? The patter is ABAB CDCD and so on. This is what I have so far.

Every time your name is said I smile,
But what's even better than that is your's.
My wish? To walk with you down the aisle.
Our honeymoon to be at the south shores

A wedding is the entrance to a marriage:
One drives through, and suddenly one's there!
Stepping from a fairy tale carriage
Into quite ordinary air.

Life is now a dance, though beautiful,
Requiring intense coordination;
Each self becomes, in ways inscrutable,
More fully what it is in combination.

And we who love you wait, of course, outside
As you become through love that mystery:
One flesh made whole of separate groom and bride;
Two selves, one life; two notes, one harmony.

When you are one, we then may cherish two:
Loving not just one, but both of you.


good luck
