The Wedding Machine (2010)
“Kitty B. made her famous California tarts, and Ray made some pimento cheese as well as ham, pepper, and onion finger sandwiches for them to munch on. And they brought ginger ale for those who might come down with a queasy stomach.
“Have you heard from Priscilla?” Sis calls on her way toward the organ.
“Not yet,” Ray says. “I’m expecting her to show up any time now.”
Ray can’t believe she hasn’t heard from her daughter. She’s called her cell phone eight times with no response. Priscilla and Dono...van were supposed to be on the flight from Baltimore this morning, and when Cousin Willy and Justin went to Charleston to pick them up, they were nowhere to be found. Ray is sure there must be some odd little glitch. Perhaps they overslept or they missed their flight, but you’d think she’d have the decency to call and let them know.
The guests are filing in and to Ray’s surprise everyone seems nice and well-dressed. She knows there are over two hundred of Roscoe’s parishioners who are invited to the wedding, and she half expected them to show up in shackets and stiff baseball caps, but these people are dressed quite well in their suits and ties and Christmas dresses.MoreLess
