Go ahead—offer them a sixpence for their thoughts, and they'll make you these vows:
- One would love to declare this woman his “awfully wedded wife.” Verbatim.
- One fears what she already has and will have to hold—if not from this day forward, then soon.
- One takes her to be richer, not poorer—and for that reason wants to scrub the toilet with her toothbrush.
- One is better for what she told him this morning, worse for betraying a friend to get to this point.
- One worries whether today finds her in sickness or in health.
- And only one already knows—with certainty—that not even in death will they part.
Whether they speak now or forever hold their peace, they all give the bride a little something she didn’t register for.
With romance, resentment, faith, fear, mystery, and the mystical, Four Somethings & A Sixpence is a loaded yet light read that will have you debating whether to sit on the bride's side of the aisle or not.
