Church of Windenburg, Winter 1842.
Despite Jeanne’s near death, the wedding between August Cushing and Evangeline Boneville took place in the first weeks of the winter of the same year. Both engaged decided to marry in the Church of Windenburg to prevent the people of Brindleton from talking about their wedding.
Something that couldn't avoid controversy was the bride’s appearance, Evangeline had decided to wear a long, thin veil that would fall elegantly along with a white dress.
The white dress was very improper and irreverent for a bride who was previously a widow, because it was her second marriage was expected to be at least a beige color, but for Evangeline this was indifferent
The new marriage looked strong and united as I walked to the door of the church, it was like a kind of protection from the doubtful, judgmental and compassionate looks of both family and friends.
Jacques stood out among his cousins' harsh looks at his daughter, did not understand how this was happening, but hoped she would know.
