Kiss The Bride by Elton John is a song that delves into themes of regret, nostalgia, and lost love. The song tells the story of a man who reflects on a past relationship as he watches an ex-lover get married to someone else. He is overcome with bittersweet emotions and a deep sense of longing as he reminisces about their time together. The recurring wish to 'kiss the bride' symbolizes his desire to relive those moments and his inability to let go of the past. This poignant narrative captures the universal feeling of seeing a former love move on while still being emotionally tethered to them.
