Tales of Happy Valley
Chapter 24: The Hasty Marriage
Now, just before she accepted the engagement ring, Frieda held Giles close and whispered her deep, dark secret to him. She feared that he would be put off, that she would have spoiled their whirlwind relationship just as it was getting started.
But Frieda was only just getting to know Giles. Not at all deterred by Frieda's secret, he said, "All the more reason for us to press on! Let's get married tonight!"
Giles and Frieda Tie the Knot
And so, that very night, in a very private (and very informal*) ceremony, Giles and Frieda exchanged their wedding vows.
It was the beginning of a happy partnership that would last beyond a lifetime and touch the lives of people all around the globe.
*The groom was resplendent in informal black. The bride wore white, but only in the regions between her tan lines.
