MY HEAD IS IN A SPIN,
I'M MORE NERVOUS THAN I'VE EVER BEEN.
CAN THIS REALLY BE MY WEDDING DAY?

TAKE LONG, DEEP BREATHS.
JUST RELAX AND COUNT TO TEN.
EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT FINE.

I'M A NERVOUS, FRAZZLED MESS,
BUT I GUESS… YOU'RE RIGHT.
EVERYTHING WILL -

The horses drank my wine!

THE DAY THAT WE HAVE WAITED FOR FOREVER
AND A DAY!
MARTHA & CARRIE
A MARRIAGE! THERE WILL FINALLY BE A MARRIAGE!
KATRINA
AND I'LL STAND BESIDE THAT MAN,
AS HE HOLDS MY SHAKING HAND,
AS I PROMISE TO BE FAITHFUL
THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD!
IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH…
FOR RICHER AND FOR POORER.
AS I STAND BEFORE MY FAMILY
AND PROMISE I WILL HONOR AND OBEY!
BALTUS
Gretchen, where the devil are my trousers?
GRETCHEN
On your bed…where you left them…
BALTUS
Good Lord, woman-I can't find my other shoe!
CELEBRATING, NERVOUS WAITING, EVERYONE IS CONGREGATING…

Baltus…!
KATRINA'S SHAWL WILL NEVER DO!
BALTUS
EVERYBODY GRABS MY STUFF,
AND I JUST STAND HERE IN THE BUFF
WHILE SEARCHING FOR MY TROUSERS
AND A SHOE!

You naked toad, you're a sight for hurtful eyes. Have you looked under
the bed? The preacher and his wife have just arrived!
BALTUS
Good Lord!
KATRINA
Mama, is my bodice laced?
BROM
IS MY COAT PRESSED?
IS MY TIE STRAIGHT?
