Mirage, Allah Go min. The scene is one of rural tranquility in the new world. However. Sometimes there is an excitement within the traditional Sunday mass, their churches small by any standards, but it suited the needs of their newfound community. The date is August 1916 50 one. Member becomes bored with the Latin discourse of the priest he leaned over to speak to his spear. A man from upriver Antoine has become an established habitantes. Francois Louis Marie, his longtime sweetheart, has already moved in with him. The second member smiles knowingly and shares information. I heard that they're going to have their Maraj al ago mean today. It was a good rumor. The first member was leading up to that possible fact. They are close to the altar up there in the third from the front row. It's maybe today a man in the row in front of them turns around to join in the conversation. He does so with an explanation. It's a process based on strict interpretation of a papal ruling. The marriage requires the church's blessing. Yes, I know, states the first member with excitement, Maraj al ago mean holds that people who wished to marry, can attend a regular church service and announced at the end of it that they regard themselves as married, his wife states. They must stand up, though they must stand up in front of us so we can recognize them as a new couple. Well, I think they're going to do it. Another member in front of them whispers something inaudible. The priest turns and looks out at them and tilts his head as if questioning. He then raises his eyebrows. They stopped talking. The church service, always in Latin, carries on. Antoine and Francois begin to stand. However, they quickly sit down again when the priest turns to face his audience. The trick is to not get caught. The priest speaks briefly, then again turns his back to them. He again praise in the direction of the altar. Antoine and Francois stand and grab each other's hand, then turned to the congregation. The couple are smiling with glee. A number of the church members smile and make a point of nodding to them. The service carries on with the priest, oblivious to any traditions. Onley Minutes later, after the mass has concluded, the members air gathered in the churchyard area. It is a beautiful summer day, with the sun also blessing the marriage. The first congregation member walks quickly over to Antoine and his new bride, Antoine and Francoise. Congratulations and Joab beams with pleasure. We are husband and wife, Thank you. The second member speaks to a small group on the edge of the clearing. I saw them. They stood proudly and smiled and even waved at us as the priest attended to the Mass with his back turned all. Consider this. The announcement of Alliance is a reply. The man from the row in front of the two joins the group. The priest expected to remind the newlyweds that their wedding bed would someday be their deathbed, from where their souls will be taken to be sent before God's tribunal. In relating to this, he would have declared that the bed is for Children to be conceived and born and is not a place for pleasure, his wife says. So it's wonderful that they had a mirage al ago, mean instead, today is perfect. The second member only laughed. We all like pleasure. It is good. He then smiles with satisfaction. Yes, of course, they will have a long and wonderful life, he pauses. But it's unfortunate that for this very reason, Antoine's marriage to Francois Morin can't be considered legal by some. I personally agree with it, though the best to them. The discussion continues a more wonderful life, you say that is the reason for it, as there is too much control, even the pleasure of our beds, maybe a change tradition here, far from France. Such are the conversations of the first few years in this new land. It is with an optimism of what the new world may bring.
