nonionay"Somewhere in here should probably be the actual wedding, though I really want to skip it and define it by the spaces around it. E+B with the preparations, M+A with the aftermath, the marks and phantom pains on their bodies. Their rain-soaked wedding clothes tossed on the floor."
I hope it works. The wedding ceremony could be cool (it takes place outside on a hill in the rain, and involves tattooing and blood-sharing) but it's basically a remix of weddings in other books of mine, and one of the themes I want to play with in this book is defining things by the empty spaces.
For those who remember my question about goat milk, that was when I was writing the preparing-for-the-wedding scene. You have to milk the goats on a wedding day. Just because. Drinking the milk is optional.
