THE BRIDES AND the grooms and their immediate families were all that fit in the tiny old wooden church for the double wedding ceremony. On the brides’ side were Mia’s parents, Monique’s grandfather and Chief Montcalm. On the grooms’ side were Heather Loch, Mrs. and Mr. Gardner and Lenny’s partner, Officer Doyle.
Waiting, eagerly, at the Pirate’s Roost for the wedding reception were more fishermen and women and townsfolk from the Braven’s gatherings than could be counted on the fingers and toes of both brides and their spouses. There were on-and off-duty police officers, dry cleaning customers and the owner of said store, a contractor without his blue shirt but with his lovely wife and several of his crew. Also in attendance were four distinguished-looking women and their mates, some university types. There were even a few teenagers, but they didn’t stay past the food.
Tending to the guests were the most wonderful bunch of workers, none of whom had been found digging for treasure anywhere in town.
