glimpse of everyone standing looking back at them as they rub their eyes while trying to wake up.
    “Good morning, sleepy heads. I'm glad that you guys could join us at this early hour. Please sit down and enjoy some breakfast with everyone.” Zebedeo says in a joking voice that gets everyone to break out in laughter.
    “Aw, Zeb, the sun is not even up yet,” David says just before he takes a drink of milk. “And what is everyone doing here so soon? I thought that you guys weren't going to show up until this afternoon, right before the wedding.”
    “Well, we took turns sleeping and driving the wagon to make it here sooner to spend more time with all of you,” Gale and Dave take turns saying as they are snacking on some muffins.
    “It looks like all of you, including me and Vartouhi, have a lot of catching up to do. I think that it would be a good idea to take the rest of the morning working on the last of the wedding decorations. Then we can spend the down time before the wedding catching up while relaxing under that big oak tree in front of the house,” Frederick kisses his wife on her forehead. All of the adults leave the kids to talk at the table while eating their breakfast.
    Everyone was laughing all the rest of the morning as they worked on setting up for the wedding. Gale and Dave had the help of the three little kids as they strung streamers made from colored fabric from tree to tree. Frederick and Zebedeo put out benches for the elderly to sit on right up front. Marnina and Vartouhi worked on preparations for dinner for the hundred or so people that could show up. Everything was going great for tonight's wedding.
    Lunchtime came and everyone ate under the mighty oak tree. Smiles and laughter are combined with good food and delightful company. The time passes so quickly that people soon start to show up for the wedding.
    “I think it's time for the bride to go and get ready for her big day,” Zebedeo points at his soon to be bride.
    “And I think that it's time for the husband to get a move on, too,” Marnina points back at Zebedeo with a grin on her face.
    Everyone sitting under the tree bursts out in laughter, which gets the attention of people showing up for the wedding. Marnina stands up, bows to everyone, and then heads to the house to change into her wedding dress. Zebedeo stumbles to his feet and then curtsies to make everyone laugh even harder. Frederick grabs Zebedeo and takes him to the back of the house to get him ready. All the kids get up to help the people showing up to get a seat on the brides or grooms side.
    “Boy, this is starting to be a bigger turn out than we thought. I hope we have enough seats for everyone,” Gale says to Dave.
    “Just think about it, this is one of the major things that are happening for a long time.” Dave nods his head at Gale to look at a young lady by a group of older people talking.
    Gale smiles at the young lady, and she smiles back, “I think that I’m being summoned. So I must bid you farewell, my dear brother.”
    Gale waves his hand in whirling gesture and walks away.
    Joanne, Sara, and Wendi come up to Dave to tell him that it is time for the wedding to start and to start seating everyone. The four of them get everything in order, and the music starts to play.
    One by one Frederick and Zebedeo stride to the front greeting people as they take their place next to Pastor Horus. The first of the wedding party to come down the aisle is Vartouhi, the maid of honor. Next is Markus carrying the rings tied together in a delicate lace bow. After him is Wendi, the flower girl, sprinkles rose petals as she skips up to the front smiling at everyone. Finally, Marnina turns the corner so that everyone can notice the radiant young lady that is about to say, I do. Her dress, a handmade nontraditional of imported plum purple for the fabric outer layer with royal blue middle inserts on the front skirt and a stripe down the middle of the back with blood red strips
