    About this ebook

    Weddings. Joyous, happy, weddings. They are the sacramental union or man and wife—celebrations in the truest sense. Indeed, Jesus performed the very first miracle of his public ministry at a wedding.

    Where would we be without weddings? We'd be in a much, much sadder place, that's where.

    However, when it comes to the wedding that Fr. Andrei is about perform—in just a few minutes time—he is of the opposite opinion. He is loath to preside. Of the countless weddings he has performed over the course of his priesthood, this is the one wedding that he is certain should not take place. Indeed, so strongly is he opposed that he is willing to sacrifice his priestly vocation rather than perform it.

    Or is he merely wallowing in a fit of self-indulgent pique?
