The Wedding

The village positively glowed with excitement. Colorful ribbons, streamers, and banners flapped in the icy breeze, strung from every house and fixture. Children ran to and fro, laughing and playing together, ignoring the irate calls of their parents in the energy of the day. Even the adults' eyes shone with enthusiasm, each dressed in their finest. Over it all, the church bell continued to ring, summoning the village to its halls.
