Long Synopsis:
Anna is getting married! Amish weddings are in November, so the family has
the whole summer to get ready. Between chores such as milking and haying,
Anna's younger sister helps paint the house and put stamps on the
invitations. Aunts and uncles arrive the day before the wedding to cook and
to clear out the furniture and set up the benches usually used for church
services. On the wedding morning they again arrive early, to cook
thirty-five chickens and enough potatoes for three hundred people. <P>
Finally, it is time. Anna, her groom, Samuel, and the wedding party descend
the stairs. After Bishop Levi leads the couple in their vows and the last
hymn is sung, the benches are turned into tables and it is time for the
wedding meal. <P> The young narrator tells of the many activities leading up
to this special day in her household and her own excitement at taking part
in it. It is a time for aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbors to
gather in feasting, singing, and celebrating the new couple. Some of the
ways are unique to the Amish, but they also reflect the joy, excitement, and
fellowship of weddings everywhere.
Comments:
This book has been read through using a screen reader. Book is unpagedm,
blank pages are illustrations, contains some Pennsylvania Dutch words, but
are spelled correctly as far as I am able to determine. Should be a very
easy proof. Picture descriptions are not necessary but would add to the
story. contact me at juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx if you have questions.

Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to
the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases
where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease,
with judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting
the words of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities
of the situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics
(1887-1985)
