The Wonder of Your Love (A Land of Canaan Novel)
“Their wedding was a conglomeration of compromises. Arnold thought they should get married indoors, and Martha wanted an outdoor wedding. Arnold wanted a small gathering, just family and closest friends. Martha wanted to invite every single person she knew.
“It’s not like I get dressed up like this every day,” she’d told Katie Ann. “Seems everyone I know should see me at my best.”
Arnold wanted the priest to preside over the entire ceremony. Martha insisted the job be shared with Bishop Esh, who... had agreed with some reluctance. Katie Ann figured the bishop went along with Martha’s request because Martha was as close to being Amish as any Englischer they’d all ever known—with regard to her faith only. Her flashy ways hadn’t diminished in the least.
Martha’s husband-to-be didn’t see the need for attendants, but Martha was clear about having Katie Ann by her side. Arnold wanted an evening wedding, but Martha said it would be an all-day affair beginning at eight o’clock in the morning.MoreLess
