Miss Olivia Middleton and Mr. Frederick Blake are to be married tomorrow night. We Confederate have invented the sit-up-all night - the wedding night. Isabelle calls it the wake - not the wedding of the partners married.
The ceremony will be performed early in the evening. The whole company will then sit up until five o'clock, at which hour the bridal couple take the train for Combahee.
Hope Sherman will not be so inconsiderate as to cut short the honeymoon.
