Here’s an excerpt from Chapter 5:At around two o’clock someone whistled with his fingers and yelled it was time to start. Most of the forty or so guests gathered around me in a big circle. The only chairs were three rockers on the front porch that were quickly taken. The whistler started humming “da dum de dum” to the tune of ‘Here Comes The Bride’ and as everyone joined in, the bride and groom entered the circle. There was something comforting about hearing the rockers in the background as the couple repeated their vows after me. Just as I said the words, “Elmer, you may kiss your bride”, a woman screamed “Oh, God! No!” In a frenzy, everyone ran around the house to the back. It was a horrible scene.About the AuthorRadio show host, Pem Pfisterer Clark, is all about weddings all of the time.
