I'd love to see "Idle Thoughts" featured as regularly as you care to write them, Luciaphil. I enjoy them very much.
As for this odd wedding, all I could think was, what's going through poor Barnabas' mind--"Am I getting left at the altar for the second time in two weeks?" Perhaps he thinks there's already a curse on him, well, just wait, LOL!
Go for it, Luciaphil!
Love, Robin
