She's Going to Get Married
Katy Williams proposed to her football coach in the newsroom — and he said yes.
But then things got difficult.
The only pastor who speaks to her can't marry them unless they're willing to publicly confess their sin and live apart until the ceremony. He's apologetic, but the deacons said no exceptions, not even for the football coach.
So Katy turns to her former landlord, her source for all things Texan. Get the judge to do it, Carolyn says. Say what? Have a former lover perform the ceremony? Carolyn shrugs. In a small town, these things happen.
But then Katy lists the women she wants for her bridesmaids, and Carolyn is silent. Apparently integrated wedding parties don't happen?
And the dates came came out for the state playoff games — and everyone says Coach Parker will be taking his team to state this year — and the final game conflicts with their wedding date.
And then it got political. Of course it did, this is Texas, the 1980s and Katy Williams is the news editor of the Plains City Gazette.
