We are in the thick of it: Friday evenings have been
given over to wedding rehearsals and to discreetly bowing out of the
dinners afterwards. Saturdays are dedicated to joining couples in holy
matrimony. This year marks my first season in a big-steeple church.
Thanks to its beautiful stained glass and its air conditioning, there
is a demand for our sanctuary—and for my colleagues and I to serve as
officiants, even for nonmember weddings.
