The Wedding
Two weeks ago, the Greenbrier's courtyard was an overgrown mess, the product of twenty years' neglect. Now, the grass has been cut, the weeds have been pulled, and a couple of small saplings have been chopped down to make room for the day's festivities.
On the east end of the courtyard is a simple stage, fashioned mostly from plywood with a coat of white paint slapped on, upon which the wedding ceremony will take place. The rest of the space is filled with folding chairs, and various crates and boxes the organizers resorted to when they ran out of chairs.
If you want to get a good seat, you'd better hustle.
