It was late in the evening, and Sarah Beth decided to go to sleep early. I flipped through the programmes on the telly and found none of them to be remotely interesting. So, I decided to join her and get some extra sleep in.

I walked in and saw Sarah Beth sleeping soundly on her side of the bed. She was beautiful and peaceful, with one of the cats sleeping next to her arm. I was careful not to disturb her when I got under the covers on my side. I yawned, looked at the ceiling, and thought about how great everything was going to be now that our boss was dead.

Actually, that sounds really messed up. Forget I put it that way.

Now that our financial touble was sorted, we could finally focus on more important things. The wedding was happening with no trouble whatsoever. Now, all I had to do was call the parish again and make sure that everything is still going as...

I just remembered. I'm going to have a wedding in a parish. A wedding in which half of the people there are going to be magical people. I then remembered that Sarah Beth was hoping for a little wedding. Well, it shouldn't be an issue.

I just turn over and say "Sarah Beth?"

"Yeah?"

"You know how we agreed that we were going to have a normal wedding?"

"Yeah-huh..."

"I'm Catholic."

"Okay."

...

"You kow what that means, right?"

"It means you're Catholic..."

"That means that the wedding is going to be a little bigger than you thought."

...

"How much bigger?"

"Well, you remember the church we called a few mmonths ago to schedule the wedding?"

"Westminister or something."

"Westminster Cathedral."

"Yeah."

"It's massive."

"What?"

"The church is pretty ginormous. "

"But I thought it was going to be a small church."

"Well, I mean... it's just that my family is all Catholic, and every generation of it has been held in a Catholic church."

"But you..."

"Look, Sarah Beth. You're going to love it. You'll see it at the wedding rehearsal."
