A western newspaper publishes the
following marriage ceremony: “Wilt
thou take her for thy pard, for better
or for worse, to have to hold, to fondly
guard, till hauled in a hearse? Wilt
thou let her have her way, consult her
many wishes; make the fire up every
day, and help her with the dishes?
Wilt thou give her all the ‘stuff’ her
little purse will pack; buy a boa and
muff, a little seal skin sacque? Wilt
thou comfort and support her father
and her mother, Aunt Jemima, Uncle
John, three sisters and a brother? And
then his face grow blank; it was too
late to jilt; and through the chapel
floor he sank and said ‘I wilt, I wilt.’ ”
