COLLARD GREENS!

They were inadvertently omitted from the menu board, but there they were in the line-up of food, my favorite dish of the reception meal!*

And, what do you know, Reader Dear--there were multiple Wedding Cakes, baked by a friend of the bride!

There was Wedding Dancing!

  Even a Wedding Bonfire!

And then, at the very, very end of the wedding day festivities,
there was a Wedding After-Party.**
......
*Luella's Catering.
**Drinks and karaoke.
"It'll be really loud," the bride told me.
"I think your dad and I will go hang out with the ring bearers, back at the rental house." I said.***
......
***That's just what we did, Reader Dear. We carted along some left-over cake and left-over wine (collards all eaten up!) and we watched over the sleeping actors.  When next we saw the brand-new husband and brand-new wife, they were well on their way to Happily-Ever-After!
