The ceremony itself was not nearly as bad as I had feared. The preacher did not talk too long, gave a very sweet speech about love between a man and a woman without saying anything crazy about submissive wives or anything.
While the heat managed to wilt everything else, it did nothing to my helmet-hair. I remained very pouffy throughout the day and evening.

All in all, it wasn't the dead-end affair I had feared. Perhaps that is because half the groom's family departed at 8:30 p.m., because they were offended by the dancing. They did have some sour pusses on when the teens were dancing to the "devil's music."
