A Country Wedding in Stormy Weather
An anecdotal tale recalls a farcical wedding visit by a minister, Dominie Soule, who agrees to marry a couple after a stormy trek. The bride and groom lead him to a crowded house, the ceremony proceeds with odd vows, and the minister receives a small tip while noting the odd repayment of his fee. Other snippets touch on religious debates and a Chicago Baptist church fire, all conveyed in a humorous 19th century tone.
