This is my wedding-day," he said to himself. "Abel Behena cannot take Sarah from me now. He cannot come back alive or dead. The church bells began to ring. It was time for the wedding. Eric left his cottage and walked towards the church. He looked at the sea for a few moments. Then he quickly turned his eyes away. But he noticed that the tide was going out. When Eric arrived at the church, he stood at the door. He waited for Sarah. All their friends were inside the church. Sarah came up the path. She was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress. Eric took her hand and they walked into the church together. The church bells stopped ringing. The wedding-service had begun. They walked out of the church hand in hand. Now they were married. They were man and wife. They walked together towards Sarah's house in the town.
