January 13, 1887January 13, 1887Dear Journal,

I am about to get married to my love Eleanor Pennington. We have decided to get married in Winwick at St. Oswald’s Church. The wedding ceremony will be wonderful. We have flowers everywhere. The flowers are roses and tulips. I wanted marigolds but Eleanor insisted on roses and tulips. I am wearing a smashing black tuxedo. I don’t know what Eleanor is wearing but I am sure it will be most beautiful. Most of my family is here. I’m so excited! Eleanor’s family is here as well. My mother and my father have just arrived. We have a great priest he has been at this church for 25 years. Eleanor thinks I should shave my beard for the occasion but I don’t think I will. If you would excuse me I must be off.Your writer, E. J. S.
