Are you moving the wedding indoors? he asked her
No we've got too the many guests. Never mind it will clear
But the grass is all wet

since she'd met julian she'd grown so light-hearted,Macon thought.So carefree .Not a serious person anymore
she was right about the weather,though. By afternoon there was sunshine. Muriel wore a pretty
summery dress.she wanted Alexander to put on a suit, but both he and Macon protested.
Jeans and a good white shirt will be fine, Macon told her.
well, if you' re sure

the first person they saw when they arrived was Macon's mother, come to see her daughter married. for some reason this took Macon by surprise, and for a moment he wondered who Alicia was. Macon, dear!' she said. She had not changed much, Macon thought, except her hair was now a deeper,richer red
