Another arranged marriage took place in the
Bewildered by her parent’s decision to carry out the ancient tradition, Cassandra arrived at her wedding sweating like crazy.
Cassandra craved for one thing only. That one thing was to marry her bodacious boyfriend John-Jacob-Jingle-Heimer-Schmitt
Dr. Dickle, Cassandra's father, nervously awaited the arrival of his daughter.
Eventually everyone was there, but John-Jacob had a final word:
"Friends, family, and everybody else present on this blessed day, please do not forget to throw all your trash in the trash receptacle at the back. Thank you and enjoy the ceremony."
Graciously giving Cassandra's father a nod, John-Jacob tried to be supportive of his love's wed to another.
However, he felt as if his heart was being ripped out every second he stood there at her wedding. Suddenly her father turned to him and said:
"Is it wrong to give a woman to a man when her heart belongs to another?" He asked John-Jacob holding Cassandra's waist.
John-Jacob-Jingle-Heimer-Schmitt replied:
"Kings, knights, and many others in the past have married people that weren't right for them. If Cassandra's heart belongs to another, then let her life be happier by letting her choose who she loves by herself."
"Let love determine who she marries? Why that is preposterous! But... I do see your point." Replied Dr. Dinkle
"My mother's and father's wedding was an arranged marriage, and they've loved each other very much. Cassandra too will learn to love her husband in time." Dr. Dickle said.
Norris nodded- (he is the groom.) "Dr. Sir, I have had it laid on my heart to become a monk, but of course I did not want to break my promise to marry Cassandra. I believe God is calling me to a life of solitude. Let it be known, if I were to marry, Cassandra is the only woman I would consider." He said with a gracious smile towards the trembling bride.
Outwardly offensive about about Norris's reply to becoming a monk, Dr. Dickle yelled in return
"Preposterous! Punk, you can't be a monk."
"Quit quarreling!" Cassandra had had enough.
"Red rover is a fun game, lets play that at the reception" piped up Cassandra's little brother. His remark struck everyone as funny and laughter filled the once tense air.
Soon serenity overcame Dr. Dickle and he decided that perhaps Cassandra and John would make a better match. Although he wouldn't get as much money out of the deal John Jacob seemed like a fine fellow. What he didn't know was John Jacob was part of "the family"...
"Tis true," said John-Jacob-Jingle-Heimer-Schmitt," I am part of the family. In fact, I'm your cousin. It looks like we'll have to move to
Under umbrellas, the guests in the chapel watched and listened as the roof leaked with the rain that was pouring down.
Vivacious visitors were very confused by the entire situation
"What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Asked Cassandra as John-Jacob-Jingle-Heimer-Schmitt with a gentle pleading as people began to leave the church.
Xtra xtra special girl, we will talk later when everything has died down. Until then...live well, dear Cassandra and he vanished leaving the girl shocked and confused and very much hurt...
"Yesterday you were a forbidden love, now... "Cassandra gazed after him the sunset.”He will return, in his own time." She thought out loud.
Zzzzzz zzzzz soon she was fast asleep from the exhausting events of the day and in good time she knew she would become Mrs. Cassandra Jingle-Heimer-Schmitt with John-Jacob always at her side.
