(: Sibling Rivalry
I've been a groomsman, a best man, an usher and rabble at a wedding. I feel I'm missing some role, but I'm not qualified to preside over it, nor do I think I'd look good in a bridesmaid dress.
I wonder if when the Vibberts were born, their sibling rivalry began. In that language of babies than no adult can understand, I like to think they first made a challenge to see which could lead a long life. A race that Grace is currently winning.
The little contests of siblings now culminated in a competition of marriage. Marie had three weddings on two continents, one Buddhist-influenced and in Vietnamese that the bridal party did not understand, a dowry of earrings, candles and fruit. Grace had a wedding, with Catholic-influences and in Latin that the bridal party did not understand, in two centuries, with a dowry of sheep, land and wine.
I have little doubt that they now will compete to see whose marriage lasts longer. I suspect the race will be long, one that Marie is currently winning.
