Chapter 7

June

Two weeks after school let out, Brenda’s brother, Pete graduated from Saint Joseph’s with honors, not valedictorian of his class, and the wedding between Brenda Marie Lipinski and Lawrence Henry Babula was about to finally take place.

With the usual prenuptial jitters, Brenda had moved home the day before the wedding. Larry’s mom and dad, aunts and uncles and various cousins had converged from Pittsburgh upon the house on Pine Street and she couldn’t take the commotion. Fortunately, she wasn’t a suspicious person, and except for Larry’s television, they had nothing of value to lose in case one of his relatives had sticky fingers.

“I’ll miss you,” he’d said. “But I completely understand. It’s a little overwhelming to have so many people in the house.”

Overwhelming was a mild term, but Brenda let it go. “I’ll see you at the church!”

“Yes,” he said moving in for a kiss. “At six sharp, tomorrow evening. I can’t wait. Don’t be late!”

“I hope I don’t have to stand in line to use the bathroom,” she said, teasing. “My mom promised me I’d get to use it first.”

Estelle had everything planned out; Brenda got the bathroom at noon. The neighbors all had offered the use of theirs for the bridesmaids and other guests, but they said it wasn’t necessary. They’d shower at home and come ready to dress. A hairstylist and makeup artist would be on hand to work on Brenda at four sharp. It would give her time to get to the church, get dressed with her grandmother and mother, and have photos taken with her attendants.

“It’s like a fairytale,” Terry had said. “Like your mother read a book about what the perfect wedding should be, then set out to get each detail in place.”

“That’s exactly what she did!” Brenda exclaimed. “I feel sorry for my younger sisters because after this there will be no money for weddings.”

“They’re paying for it?” Terry asked, dumbfounded.

“They insisted. Just between you and me, Larry and I told my sister Margaret that we’d pay for her wedding next summer. She’s marrying an Army guy, so I don’t think they’ll have the cash.”

“Wow, that Larry!” Terry said.

“I know,” Brenda replied. “One in a million.”
