The WeddingToday is the wedding day. Anat and Dan have been waiting for a long time. But the wait was to plan the perfect wedding. No, Anat never called her parents to say she was engaged. She cried that her grandmother wasn’t around to with her. But she knew she is watching over her.

The outdoor setting looked beautiful. Dead flowers wall all over. Most guests arrived in all black. The photographers were taking photos of Anat and Dan. Both were wearing black. As was Jerry, the ring bearer. Marc was perched up in a tree, Alana was walking the venue. …

Jerry fights dad

Jerry and Ben were playing in Central Park. Jen was watching the kids. Anat was meeting with the florist. She didn’t want live flowers. The bride to be wanted dead ones. She thought live flowers would be too colorful. Dan’s mom loved her. She knows she is strange. They had a sit-down and said she wouldn’t be an overbearing mother-in-law. But she should at least have colorful flowers. She gave into Anat’s demands of a black wedding dress. Anat wouldn’t kid anyone. Young and innocent she was not, far from that.

Marc and Alana take a rideMarc has been in a state of depression for weeks. Alana played Bauhaus, The Cure, Depeche Mode and the Smiths to cheer him up. Yes, that music is some of the most depressing on Earth. But it helped those two. It helped Anat, too.

The place where he grew up is going away. The site with the Woodsman is going away. The land will still be there. But it may not fully be under their control. The spineless people who operate fell into a pit. They’ve never been the brightest. But the got even…

Anat is still mulling over calling her parentsThanks to Jerry, Anat now has a heart. Her wedding was three weeks away and she still didn’t tell her parents. Of course, they haven’t spoken to each other in nearly three decades. She wondered if they’d even talk to her. She had no idea what they were up to or how their health was.

Anat dialed a few of the digits of their phone number. She held the phone for five minutes while deciding if she should type in the last digit. She placed the handset back in the receiver and had a shot of Arak. Jerry just woke up. She smiled. He ran…
